Don’t know where to put this but has there been any feedback / discussion about the shit cycle lane on Northumberland Avenue leading up to Trafalgar?
I know the road is heavy with traffic most hours of the day during the week, somewhat exaggerated by the reduction of two lanes into one, making room for a wide cycle lane / bus lane (they shouldn’t be there but it’s hard to pull up to the stop / waiting area without sitting in traffic).
Always seem to find the odd dick that doesn’t want to wait in the line of traffic and will undertake just to go to the front, completely obscuring the cycle lane and bike box / ASL.
occasionally i’ll filter to the front and wait in the bike box until the light goes red, just to prove a point. Can there not be a camera erected or lane separator installed to prevent idiot motorists doing this?
I know I’m being an idiot but its annoying that TfL has made it a temporary cycle lane with a solid white line, yet motorists drive over it without fear of consequence.
