Old main road being re-worked into a "bicycle road" which gives priority to cyclists. Through motorised traffic is being sent by a different (longer, less direct) route over a new bridge #12105). This will consist of two large red cycle lanes either side with a very narrow car lane in the middle.

The bike lanes are 1.5 m each and the black strip in the middle is 2.1 m.

Such treatment is only suitable where very low car traffic volumes are expected - as is the case here. This road is being bypassed.

Volumes of cycle traffic here have grown since completion.

Another (later) view of this road is shown in #12118
