Cycle Lanes extended to Fluke Roundabout
Cycle Lanes extended to Roundabout
Narrow 1.1 m Advisory Cycle Lanes running alonside the kerb
have been extended up to the roundabout give-way lines.
Cyclists heading left to right and staying in the cycle lane
are badly placed and at risk of being left-hooked by turning traffic.
Is it possible to have something like an Advanced Stop Box
across the entrance to the roundabout?
Action
• Improved signage/marking (?)
• Speed reduction (?).
• Surface repair (?)
• Extension of segregated bike lane to Fluke roundabout.
1.1 m wide advisory cycle lanes have been painted on both sides of the road.
They extend from the existing cycle lanes to the roundabout.
• Extension of segregated bike lane to junction at Kingsmills Road. (?)
Comment
• Extension of segregated bike lane to Fluke roundabout.
A cyclist heading east from Culcabock Road and following the cycle lane
will be badly positioned to continue east through the roundabout.
• Similar problem cycling west through the roundabout staying on Old Perth Road.
• The narrow cycle lanes will encourage close passing by motor vehicles.
There is a pinch point of 0.8 m approaching the roundabout from the east.
• Extension of segregated bike lane to junction at Kingsmills Road. (?)
• Could the cycle lanes be widened by removing the centre line as on Culduthel Road?
Possibly a compact roundabout. CD 195 E/5.7
"any cycle lanes, light segregated cycle lanes or stepped cycle tracks
shall end 20-30 metres in advance of the give way line
so that cyclists integrate with motor traffic on the roundabout approach."
