20A - Academy Street - Proposed for Delivery
Action
• Barriers and cones deployed.
Comment
• Main problem is lack of upright signs so road users are unsure
what the pop-up lanes are for (it's pedestrians not cyclists).
• More cyclists are now travelling in the pop-up (pedestrian) lanes
as well as on the pavement. This detracts from the benefit
of providing extra space for pedestrians.
• The apparent need to allow space for coaches and buses to turn
and for loading has distorted the barrier line resulting in
an untidy look and pop-up lanes with varying widths.
