Coventry's C*** Cycle lanes

[Diver300]

The first one embodies most that is wrong with Coventry's cycle lane planning, with too many barriers protecting nothing and obstructing users while ignoring the real dangers:-

And just down the road we have the road to nowhere:-

At least they now have some cycle provision, tho the first one could do with more protection from the motons by the look of it. (I used to live just off the A45/A46 roundabout).

And not much further away, in Warwick, we have the Myton Road cyclepath. It emerges from St Nicholas Park onto Myton Road and then goes past a large school - so almost impassable at some times - and then has to give way six times in about 1Km as it crosses minor culs-de-sac.

Credit where it's due, this is £100m of Highways England recent work on its road to get rid of the horrible Tollbar island roundabout. Don't you think it's nice that the name Tollbar survives even if few people connect that with its origins as a Toll? The deadend on the cycle route is because its pending someone else building a business park then completing the cycle route connection as promised when planning permission was saught.
