Interestingly Strøget in Denmark is similar length (half the width at c.12m) and has no cycling too, but outdone by other city neighbourhoods now that have cycle access. Can't cycling be permitted off peak? Sad that they haven't tried, at least not presented any design option that includes it

I had this on a recent project. 2 way cycle track proposal favoured by communuty consultation hijacked and cut, behind closed doors, by local 'stakeholder' group in favour of retaining few (19) kerbside parking spaces. Opportunity lost for another generation for short term political dogma

36% traffic evaporation - good job. Wish it had been fully closed to vehicles when I was cycling Lonsdale Rd to school 50 yrs ago. Still makes me shudder what traffic speed and conditions we put up with

Seems to hinted at with a half forgiving 12mm upstand swen better here. Which tactiles would you lose with step? Entry kerbs might also avoid need for Give Way markings too

Main road network all planned by LDDC back in the 80s when the area was just bombsites - LBN never envisaged anything other than low density resi. Retro fitting stuff to prioritise walk cycle as a place to live now needs infra surgery
