The hill is too narrow for two cycle lanes

Thursday, 7th December 2023

• HAVERSTOCK Hill is too narrow to accommodate two cycle lanes, for example at the Upper Park Road bus stop.

Announcements now tell bus No 1 passengers to take care when alighting.

The impetus of stepping off the bus is almost enough to thrust one into the cycle lane, the pedestrian island being so narrow.

Add to this the lack of road discipline of some cyclists and a dangerous situation is created.

Another pinch-point appears to be near Chalk Farm station where many lane posts have been knocked flat, I presume, by road traffic.
