Pedestrian safety fears raised over floating bus stops on new cycle lane in Bath Similar infrastructure elsewhere has faced opposition – but councillor says people just need to get used to it cycling
Floating bus stops on a new cycle lane in Bath have come under criticism due to claims that the infrastructure puts pedestrians getting on and off buses at risk.
“The road has been made more narrow to fit the system which makes it dangerous for vehicles too – it is absolutely ridiculous,” he claimed. “Once people get used to it, and cyclists realise that they must stop or they are breaking the law, it will become safe,” he said. “The road has been narrowed but there’s no reason it should be any more dangerous or congested for vehicles than it was: no traffic lanes have been removed. A safer alternative for getting into the centre is a must to get people to change their transport habits, and this scheme is a solid start.”
