This is truly a joke. If you choose to use the cycle lane, you are forced to give way to normal traffic. The normal traffic flow is forced into the cycle lane. No need to have this design on this road.

  • Hahahah, hahaha, hahahah...

    hahaha

    hahhaha

    hahha wtf

    haha.

    I bet more than anything it would confuse most drivers (at least the one you tried was segregated, try the open ones when a car comes...).

    I love the fact that we have lanes in the door zone...

    Now we have lanes at the pinch points...

    Next we will have HGV undertaking lanes...?

    I think this is a contender for a crap cycle lanes site/gallery.

  • @drsquirrel0 it's december 2008 crap cycle facility of the month

  • who the hell designs these, cyclist haters ? There are some cycle lanes here that have points where it says' cyclist dismount now' at every other junction . No thanks! I will stay on the road at 20/25 mph and be part of the traffic ,

  • its scary that somebody thought this through and it was passed by planners!!!

  • This is an insane design! No way would I ride in that death trap lane.

  • I used to live off Martin Way, my approach was always ignore them completely and ride right out in the lane to make it clear I'm not in the cycle lane, or about to give way. Got a few beeps, but if they're willing to beep, I'm betting they haven't the sense to keep clear.

    My favourite one was going up the hill towards Morden. Why oh why would you make a cyclist stop going up hill. I hope the person that came up with them was sacked, clearly an idiot!

  • What are you supposed to "give way" to? The bollard has an arrow indicating traffic should go to the right, so if you use the "cycle lane" you are disobeying the bollard sign. They seemed to have just made he pinch point into a pinch lane.

  • @gaz545 Ah yea i've seen that, not the ones without the segregation though - they're worse.

  • Please remove this video before New Zealand’s town planners see it :-)

  • WTF is the point of that?

  • Omg. I think, the guy, who planned it, visited our city... We have same stupid method since last year.
