Finally, this is a #ToucanCrossing [Two can cross] for use by both #pedestrians and #cyclists. Fun trivia fact: if you take the path to right, you will get to the #UKMetOffice in a couple of minutes.

This is good #HighwayEngineering – cyclists have their own dedicated #TrafficLights, so that they can cross five lanes of traffic in safety.

The safest way to cross a busy four-lane dual carriageway is to use a cycle and food #bridge.

A level shared section, again with the main road well separated from non-motor vehicle users.

Another uphill section and so it’s a good idea not only to separate the motor traffic from #cyclists but also #pedestrians. Cycles often bomb down here at high speeds and so that’s another good reason to have separate zones for #walkers.
Continued thread
This old #MasonryArtch #bridge was especially widened by having a #SharedPath attached to it so that there’s a wall between busy motor traffic lanes and #cyclists and #pedestrians. I believe this work won an award for #CyclingInfrastructure.
Continued thread
Later, the two #paths merge onto a shared section once more but it’s well away from an parallel road.
Continued thread
Further along, there is a completely motor traffic free section where the foot and #cyclepaths run along side each other for nearly 1 km. There’s plenty of room for all here.
Continued thread
In another part, #cycle and #footpaths are clearly segregated and here they’re coloured distinctively. This is a good design and one often passes jammed road traffic at the busy junction ahead.
Continued thread
This part is sloped upwards meaning that #cyclists are usually slower and, if nothing else, would hinder #MotorTraffic, possibly causing frustration and the urge to overtake #bikers dangerously. The solution here is to allow #cycles and pedestrians on this path. The #BusLane is only active on weekday mornings.
For years and years, I thought #cycling was too dangerous a method of transport that it put me off buying a #bike. However, I’m going to share a few details around the city which, in various measures, make #biking safer, easier, more pleasurable, and more fun. We still have a long way to go to get to the levels of #CyclingInfrastructure of the #Netherlands or #Denmark but the #CityCouncil is trying do the right thing.
The #UK government is reforming the planning system to speed up delivery of major #infrastructure like clean energy, #transport links, and reservoirs. Under the strengthened Planning and Infrastructure Bill, statutory consultation requirements will be streamlined, halving pre-application time and potentially cutting at least a year off delivery. While ensuring meaningful community engagement remains, the reforms aim to reduce delays, save over £1 billion this Parliament, and attract private investment. Local voices will still be heard, but developers will have more flexibility to adapt projects. The changes support the Plan for Change to boost housing, energy security, and economic growth, with a target of 150 major project decisions by the end of this Parliament.
