So currently there are some indicative road markings before tomorrow& #39;s works on OSR, temporary #cycling lane of 2.7km.
IT LOOKS GOOD. I& #39;ll be back tomorrow morning to see what sort of separation they put in.
Needs to be visible, needs physical protection, needs enforcement.

Honestly this makes me so happy it& #39;s unreal. Makes me wonder why it took a pandemic for this to happen. Why the council didn& #39;t do this years ago?
Cannot wait to ride it tomorrow.

So just ridden up Old Shoreham Road, at 1200hrs there doesn& #39;t seem to be any signs of construction. A few cyclists, sone on the pavement some in the left hand lane. Wonder when they& #39;ll do it?
WE GOT A LANE!
And I already got beeped at for being in it! The new road layout doesn& #39;t appear to compute for people. Also no phase in people are just driving down it.

Okay, so my verdict on @BrightonHoveCC& #39;s new emergency bike lane on OSR A270. Split into categories.
Physical Protection 0/5
There is none, it& #39;s just paint, paint is pretty it doesn& #39;t stop cars.

Size of lane 4/5, brilliant mostly but it shrinks in a number of places around Hove Park. And then disappears.
"The Magnificent Disappearing Bike Lane". No thank you.

Signage 1/5, what is there currently didn& #39;t stop a guy beeping behind me at the western edge because he didn& #39;t realise there was a new bike lane. Didn& #39;t stop this guy either. If the signage doesn& #39;t work at night it& #39;s not going to protect an NHS worker back from the night shift.

Junction design 0/5, you didn& #39;t do any design on the junction @BrightonHoveCC @bhlabour, nothing to stop a person being lefthooked at a junction, the paint suggests cars take sweeping turns rather than stopping and taking turns with smaller radii.
Like seriously guys, junctions.

Final verdict, 2/5. Good effort but lots of room for improvement.
Need protection, needs better signage, needs better junction design.
@bhlabour @BHGreenCllrs @BHConservatives I& #39;d think getting ETS back together, producing an emergency LCWIP, taking suggestions from locals /con
