Anti-cycling road infrastructure and conditions
Priority for Cycling

No entry for cyclists

Road closed - or is it?
Often these closures do, or could, allow bikes to pass. Local authorities and contractors need to recognize ALL road users and state "closed for motor vehicles - open for cycles and pedestrians". This "closure" of a mile stretch of lane in Somerset would have meant a 2 mile detour, but taking a chance revealed that it was open all the way for cycles.
