[Talk-gb-westmidlands] A34 cycle route

[Brian Prangle]

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
