    It's been there a while now - I think it features characters mostly associated with the Boulevard. Amy Johnson is on there and at least one FC player (not sure who though).

    Work starts next month on the demolition and rebuild of Brunswick Arcade on Beverley Road. It'll be nice to finally see the scaffolding gone, and a copy of what was once there. The works are expected to last for 13 months.

    It will take many millions to bring that up to a usable project, it’s in the wrong area and I doubt anyone would buy it

    Good. The further they keep **** drivers away from cyclists is a massive positive in my opinion.

    Drivers can't continue to be prioritised above more sustainable modes forever. We need less cars on the road. I wouldn't fancy riding a bike on the road but I accept that those who do are doing something positive and it needs to be encouraged over driving.

    It's Government policy Chazz. The Council would be challenged instantly if they didn't do this.

    As PLT says, motorists have held sway on our roads for too long now, it has to change. Not for aged car drivers like us, but for younger folk who want to walk and cycle more in safety.

    This used to be my playground,
    This used to be my childhood dream.
    This used to be the place I ran to,
    Whenever I was in need of a friend
    Why did it have to end?
    And why do they always say
    Don't look back...

    New ‘nudge’ pedestrian crossings appear in Hull

    An innovative new pedestrian crossing designed to improve safety was installed in Anlaby Road over the weekend.

    It forms part of two new crossings in the city, aimed at using behavioural science to ‘nudge’ more people to use them – and use them correctly.

    The crossings, which will be the first of their kind in the UK, will have eye-catching designs to encourage people to use them.

    The second crossing will be installed in Market Place, later this week.

    Councillor Dean Kirk, portfolio holder for transport at Hull City Council, said: “We welcome the installation of the ‘nudge’ pedestrian crossings, and are pleased to be part of this innovative project which complements the council’s road safety strategy that was launched in March last year.

    “By working closely with the Road Safety Trust and Liverpool City Council, Hull will play a crucial part in a wider approach in helping to reduce pedestrian casualties on the roads.”

    Pedestrian casualty rates in Liverpool and Hull are among the highest in the UK, at 54 and 44 resident casualties per 100,000 people, respectively.

    The full trial will be carried out in Anlaby Road and Market Place from October 18 to 31, after which the crossing designs will be removed.

    The project is being delivered alongside behavioural science company So-Mo and data company Agilysis, by Hull City Council in partnership with Liverpool City Council, which has been awarded £200,000 by the Road Safety Trust.

    The crossing trials were originally due to take place in the first half of this year, but have been delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

    The project was first announced in June last year.

    The council has written to residents and businesses at the locations of the crossing trials.

    Think we've had enough " behavioural science " over this last 18 months to last a lifetime plus it looks like they could be a right eye sore, so that would be a no from me.

    As a driver, a pedestrian and a cyclist - I would have no idea what these markings mean. Can't be the only one, and surely use of non-standard road markings will cause more safety issues than solve?
