More than 100 people have been injured on it, with injuries ranging from fractures and lost teeth, to cuts and significant bruising
A council has refused to pay any compensation to victims who tripped on an 'optical illusion' cycle lane - despite 40 claims being submitted. The lane was branded 'the most dangerous in Britain' due to the high number of injuries - with locals blaming a 'trick of the eye' design.
Since it was installed by Bath and North East Somerset Council in March 2022, more than 100 people have been injured on it. And a Freedom of Information Request submitted by the Local Democracy Reporting Service has now revealed 40 people have sought compensation from the council for their injuries. A road safety audit in December warned: "Whilst the number of incidents has clearly reduced since opening, it remains an ongoing issue with a relatively consistent rate of incidents per month, rather than one which is reducing over time."
Locals wanting it scrapped have previously recalled their experiences of coming to harm there. One person said: "I fell into the road last year, cutting my knee, twisting my ankle and ripping my jeans. The council were not very helpful or even asked if I was okay. They did suggest that I use the crossing next time."
