10 - Culcabock Road
Comments submitted to Highland Council Consultation
11 Aug 2020
Issue - Road safety concerns for cyclists.
Solution - Extend segregated bike lane to Fluke roundabout.
Comment
Extending the cycle lanes to the Fluke roundabout is well-intentioned
but sets up a right turning cyclist to be 'left hooked'
by a left turning motorist.
Liberal and large marking with cycle symbols would seem appropriate.
