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.
