FIVE.. Reallocation of roadspace

Conclusion

The road is still, and will always remain, the natural habitat of the cyclist but space on our roads is often dominated by cars. There are ways we can redress this balance through design, legislation and imaginative thinking which will encourage greater use of cycles, in turn reducing car congestion.

The Campaign would like to see...

  • Removal of obstructive parking on key busy routes
  • The gradual reduction of car parking spaces in Romsey and Petersfield over the next 10 to 15 years in favour of cycle parking and space for walking
  • The redesign or removal of left turn-only lanes in Cambridge.
  • The impact on cyclists to be seriously weighed up before any new bus lane is created
  • One way streets to be opened up to cyclists travelling in both directions
  • Heavy promotion and expansion of the new car clubs in Cambridge
