Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] A34 cycle route
Hi Andy - a great improvement over on-road cycle lanes. Very safe but dreary given the nature of the road and the traffic volume alongside. Not much cycle traffic on it yet so uneducated pedestrians walking along it not yet a problem. Where the cycle lane is furthest away from the road pedestrians seem to prefer it as it makes them feel safer. It will be interesting to see how much vehicles respect the give way signs where the cycle lane crosses a road without a crosssing and indeed cyclisst where they meet a give way sign onto a shared space. It will need regular sweeping as it is already accumulating a layer of grit from the traffic on the road. The shared space around some bus stops and pedestrian crossings could get interesting once cycle traffic builds up. Interesting to see traffic signals and turn restrictions on a cycle route! BTW thanks for all your work on HS2 Regards Brian On Tue, 16 Apr 2019 at 11:04, Andy Robinson wrote: > Hi Brian, > > Great.

Hi Brian, Great. As a cyclist what was your impression of the route?
