Cycle track crossing Bragg Road in Perry Barr local centre
This photo is looking back towards the city centre (the opposite direction to the previous photos). The cycle track is continuous through this busy local centre, providing a clear indication about where people on cycles are likely to go. There is a clear visual distinction between the pavement and cycle track, but it might be useful to have a slight raised ridge along the edges of the cycle track to provide a tactile barrier. The bus stop has plenty of space for people waiting for buses, and cycle racks provided immediately on hand for bus-cycle journey combinations. This is a much better solution than shared use pavements which were more traditionally used in situations like this - cycle users clearly belong here even if people are walking on the cycle track.
