This design is possible here but requires building out one footpath.<br /><br />Note it is not a shared path. It would be a two way cycle path and pedestrians would be expected to cross over to the other side at provided crossing points.Adam Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750136956364085417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-35315785101527874152018-02-16T23:08:08.569+00:002018-02-16T23:08:08.569+00:00In many ways the existing median with the broken w...In many ways the existing median with the broken white lines on both sides that exists for much of the road is already a hint to drivers that they should carefully consider passing. Do typical local drivers pull out over these medians or do they still try and keep to the left as much as possible?<br /><br />Median turning lanes are under appreciated for these low volume distributors, but thats if you want to increase vehicle speeds and throughput. Would tightening up the unsignalised T-junctions with bicycle bypasses be unthinkable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
