Urgh, Lewes Road.. It's been the site of every accident and near-miss I've had in Brighton. My first was a blind left-turner who, after cutting me up and causing me to crash into him, proceeded to get out of his car, punch me, and drive off.
With the car-door zone 'cycle lane', kebab-shop divers, pinch-point crossings and crazy left-turners, that road is a deathtrap. I religiously avoid the section between the Level and Sainsburys by taking Upper Lewes Rd. from the gyratory.
