A massive traffic queue isn't 'interesting', but it does prove a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The footage would show that despite cycle lanes being put in place some cyclists will still not use them and use pavements instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the posts on this thread, the hundreds of adverse comments on Sheffield Online and the local media coverage, there would seem to be lots of parties more than remotely interested in whether the reason causing all the disruption is being used. Secondly I'm sure the council would take a passing interest in footage showing their white elephant being ignored by those it is supposed to be helping.

RJRB Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I look forward to the footage of the barriers coming down. It will be like our own version of breaching the Berlin Wall. Power to the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's going to have to take something extreme like a patient dying in the back of the ambulance or a police car not being able to reach a crime in progress before the morons reconsider. Perhaps a legal proceeding might make them change their position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emergency services like bike lanes, they provide a clear route through traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the fact is this isn't a bike lane What we have is a load of barriers blocking off a complete side of the carriageway to motorised vehicles and also having the effect of making the open running lane much narrower. It might have escaped your attention but ambulances and police cars are motorised vehicles that cannot nip through tiny gaps in bollards to enter said empty lane. It's a completely stupid and half-assed attempt to produce something that nobody wanted and nobody needed. I really hope someone's head will roll for this.
