WiIl the lanes have a separation kerb to make it impossible for vehicles to cross over into them and use them? If not, how many cyclist accidents would it take before the lanes would be considered dangerous for cyclists?I would love to be proven to have wrong concerns as I am a very keen cyclist. Maybe they can get this one right!
