Went along that road this morning. There is not a single sign on the main road for the car drivers to know they are likely to find a cyclist WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY, blithely crossing under their front wheels as they round the corner.
The general speed of the road is about 40mph (think it's officially a 30 limit though) and people round the corners at about 25mph. That's going to hurt when it hits you. Luckily, it's not a hugely popular cycling route, but then again, that makes it all the more likely that a motorist won't see the cycle lane.
I'm all for cyclists getting priority anywhere. But I think it would be sensible to advise motorists that it might be happening.
Anyone know who I should contact to suggest that this is a potential death trap until there is better (or ANY) signage on the main road?
