Safety for cyclists
Warning marks have recently been painted on the busway's cycle track at several places, to help cyclists to avoid hazards such as bollards.
At Histon, there is a footpath which crosses the busway. They've painted white lines to try and direct cyclists away from the busway at the crossing.

Some marking is in my opinion useless - around the sewer plates where is a path to enter Histon from the Orchard, the ground is flat and easy to use even with a road bike.
ReplyDeleteAnd some more painting is still necessary for the dark days a bit further when you come from St Ives, just before the tarmac stopped just beside the track to be replaced by gravels. A few times I did not see that while buses were blinding me coming ahead and other bikes forced me to keep as left as possible. So I nearly tripped over because of these invisible stones (what are they for?).
I guess they might be to stop vehicles going along the cycle track. But why didn't they install white posts rather than dull, grey, metallic ones?
