But the width of the cycle lanes on both sides of the road squeezed the width of the carriageway, with a number of residents taking to social media to outline their fears that the road was now too narrow for cars to safely pass.The council has now removed the lanes – and said it will look to use a"more commonly known solution" for the routes.
“The council has a duty to provide safe highways for all users and monitoring has clearly showed vehicles speeding at dangerously high levels on Bellpit Road and Colliers Way in particular.“Following two rounds of consultation with residents, further views were raised regarding the new road layout underway at The Rock for which the council is thankful.
“This will be achieved by a more commonly known solution in the borough with new centre and edge of carriageway lines as well as speed indicator devices. The project continues to stay within the approved budget.”The lines originally put in place were marked by a broken white line – meaning they were advisory cycle lanes.
