Re: How to improve safety at a junction
Posted: 20 Jun 2018, 8:15am
The solution is to remove the junctions at least as far as cyclists and walkers are concerned. Keep the two groups (vulnerable and motor-vehicles) segregated.
I know the junction referred to in Ely. Like all the other Cambridgeshire towns cycleways are bad. For example much more could be done to make the riverfront to the station safe and direct - instead near the rail bridge the road crossings are awful.
Would it have been possible to put a cycleway in near the Broad Street junction? There is no money, no room they wail. Funny how there is money and room to build new housing estates and supermarkets in that area. Just knock down an old brewery, flatten a chemicals company, or build on a free car park. It always seems possible to do these things.
They just are unable to build high-quality continuous and segregated greenways @CambsCountyCouncil
