Darlton Gaps Farm, nr Tuxford - July 08

[Mearing]

Here in Bournemouth, a main road now has a cycle track either side of the lanes for motor traffic. Each cycle track is the same width of the adjacent motor traffic lane - and barely used. The motor traffic lanes are just wide enough for a bus.

It would seem reasonable that if a cycle lane exists it should be mandatory to use it. Here in a country district with narrow lanes it is not possible because of reduced road width to comply with the revised rules regarding the amount of seperation to give cyclists when overtaking.
