Helping cyclists to turn right

cycle filter lane runs into a bollard
Alan Gibson

Turning right from a minor to a major road is one of the more difficult manoeuvres for cyclists. This short section of off-road cycle path has been provided in the middle of the road as a safe place for cyclists to wait to turn right onto Grantham Road in Bingham. It is protected by a kerb and bollards to ensure that it will not be encroached by motor vehicles.

Initially many cyclists did not realise the purpose of the facility. Mistaking it for a pedestrian refuge, they continued to ride on the road. To rectify this, Nottinghamshire Council have changed the road markings and installed a short cycle lane to channel cyclists towards the facility.

This site is dedicated to highlighting examples of how innovative design and outstanding engineering offer safety, utility, and comfort to cyclists. If you know of a cycle facility worthy of inclusion on this site, either within Warrington or beyond, then send a photo (jpg) and short description to Pete Owens.
