Off Topic Dining out tomorrow...

I love the cycle lanes in Hull , great idea

 

The government made it quite clear, no cycle lanes no extra cash for road repairs. The upgraded road surface on Holderness Road now is far far better than it was previously.

 

I looked into the guidance that went with the funding bids. They're on line for people to view, and that's not strictly the case. The first bids had to be completed by a particular deadline to qualify for the main funding, but both pretty much relate to on road cycle lanes. The main resurfacing is slightly different. It looks like the Council tried to blend the funding with works that were already planned.

 

F

Freetown way is an utter delights isn’t it
Absolute fuxking disaster

 

Stick it up their arse
Close the ****er down

 

Which they could well do in that scenario I mentioned.

 

Suggest looking at the Government's Gear Change document, it says exactly what TwoWrights stated - no permanent segregated cycle lanes = no funding for cycling. If a local authority has a cycling strategy that says different, they would be well advised to update it.

 

I have. It's not a stand alone document, and also has links associated with the recent funding. There's an argument that the funding for the lanes enabled council to meet some of the criteria that funded the resurfacing, and that would link the two, but there are some exceptions.

 

That's my understanding of it .
I'm all for cycle lanes as I sometimes bike across the city 2 work .
I just dont like the current cycle lane scheme on Freetown way .
The way cars have to cut in to turn off doesnt seem safe .
Not seen any bikes on them as yet

 

I agree about Freetown Way's cycle lane, it seems an accident waiting to happen.

 

If anyone has found something that shows how the success or otherwise is to be measured, I'd be interested to see it.

 

Does that mean permanently segregated by more than paint?

 

And Ferensway and Bev road and Spring Bank

 

That's okay, you can bypass that by going down Stoneferry.

 

North Bridge shut for 2 weeks from Friday

 

It does. The new government policy favours physical separation from motorised traffic and from footways. Ambitious in many transport corridors!

 

Which if you look at the bus/cycle lanes you'll see many don't fit that, but still met some of the criteria. It's because there are a number of factors being combined.
