Yet another motorist hospitalises cyclists and causes road closure.
40 minute road closure? Motorists here complain bitterly if Critical
Mass holds cars up for two or three minutes. Motorists are obviously their own worst enemy as well as an enemy of cyclists. "A cyclist is in a critical condition after the tandem he was riding was in collision with a car in Blackpool. The 54-year-old man was riding along Preston New Road with his son when the crash happened on Thursday afternoon. He suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Royal Preston Hospital for emergency surgery. His 25-year-old son suffered minor injuries. Police believe the collision happened when the car turned left into a slip road and have appealed for witnesses. The road was closed for about 40 minutes after the collision." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-12099817 -- .

Just had a look with Google Street car and I failed to find one shared use sign, maybe they've been removed since you lived there, or maybe after Google vistied? Certainly the council cycle map fails to mention them. For example this junction would have to have end of shared use, start of share use, and maybe a cyclists dismount sign. http://goo.gl/lWEgM There are some advisory cycle lanes, which are on the council map http://goo.gl/yGxwj -- Dan There are certainly some parts of on road cycle lanes, which run out at junctions. |
