I'm sure oliver will have something to say about this?
According to here :
"Cycle Highways will offer many benefits to cyclists, including providing safe, direct, continuous and visible routes," said the Mayor. "They will be clearly marked and easy to identify. It is not intended however that they be segregated along the full length of the route."
So basically just another cycle lane as far as I can tell, except in blue (because tory boy borris likes making things blue)...
Another quote from somewhere else:
"Hot news from last night's Southwark Cyclists meeting. Routes for the first two of Boris Johnson's proposed 12 cross-London cycle superhighways, distinguished by blue asphalt, have been decided. Apparently they're to be ready by May 2010 (when the London Bike Hire scheme is also to being operation).
One will go through Southwark (A24 - A3 - Merton - Tooting - Kennington Park Road - Elephant and Castle improved bypass - Southwark Bridge Road - Southwark Bridge - City.
What precise shape the route will take through the Elephant's notorious double-roundabout, given the stalled redevelopment works, is still to be decided.
The other pilot route is City - Cable Street - east out along the A13"
Personnaly I'm not a fan of segregated bike lanes. If they had right of way over all traffic crossing it I might re consider. The fact is though that it's just hot air that will be badly implemented.
(by the way, it was originally Ken's idea)
Although as i do the A24 to city route anyway it might be of interest.
