Hazardous new footpath junction at Histon

The new housing development at Primrose Lane, Histon, has recently been linked to the busway cycle track by a short footpath which emerges onto the cycle track at a break in the 4-metre high solid fence. Sightlines, particularly in the Cambridge direction, are extremely poor. The cycle track is narrow at this point, so west-bound cyclists will have little warning of a pedestrian emerging from the footpath and turning right.

Until the design of this junction is improved, users of the cycle track should be extremely cautious when passing this place.
