| > I cycle this way every day and would like clarification of the cycle provision. Might be worth asking the council then. It seems that the intention has always been to stop motor vehicles using the road as a rat run. The old barrier used to be passable on the road by bicycles (there was a gap in the middle) so I'd assume that they're just going to ignore cyclists (especially since they can't identify them from a camera). I can't find any pictures of what the old barriers used to look like when shut (or what the sign said, all of the pictures I can find have it covered up). Anyone have one? Maybe they'll stick up a "Except cycles" sign under the "No Entry" bit but then that's confusing when the no entry sign is not lit. The barriers on Lower Common South/Hallam Road did have a blue cycling sign to allow bypass by bikes: https://goo.gl/maps/3X1Nyw9Szrk If you're really worried about it then dismount and push the bike along the pavement past the signs then remount and cycle on. |
