The Tavistock Place cycle track is a popular route and a victim of it own success. A campaign to upgrade it was launched in summer 2013 with a video illustrating the current problems on this route.
The West End Project report (January 2015) proposed a trial in which:
- the existing two-way segregated cycle track to operate as a one-way eastbound cycle lane
- one eastbound traffic lane would be maintained
- the existing westbound traffic lane would be converted to a lane for cycling and servicing vehicles only
March 2015, we were shown the simple designs required to inform users of each junction as to the new permitted movements.
This 12-month trial will commence in June 2015.
