Painted cycle lane won’t stop casualties, says group
The local authority says the advisory lane will “allow space for everyone” and “strike the right balance” by having “very little impact on traffic”on sections of a road where protected cycling infrastructure had been ripped out two years previously, cycling campaigners are once again up in arms over the local authority’s decision to paint another advisory lane that it says will allow “space for everyone” – but that activists claim will do nothing to combat the “terrible rate of cycling...
The new lane comes hot on the heels of a similar initiative from RBCK on Kensington High Street, which saw the introduction of “broken painted white line” cycle lanes that the council said can be “used by vehicles other than pedal cycles when clear” in July – just over two years after, prompting an ultimately unsuccessful High Court legal challenge by cycling campaigners who claimed the protected lane’s removal was “premature”.
“This new painted cycle lane allows space for everyone who uses our roads as we aim to become a greener, safer, and fairer borough,” Conservative councillor Cem Kemahli, the borough’s lead member for planning and the public realm, said. “The advisory cycle lanes on Fulham Road are a step in the right direction, but on an A-road with such a high volume of motor traffic, a dotted line in paint is nowhere near adequate to keep people cycling safe or to encourage new people to start cycling,” the group’s spokesperson
