Back-to-Front Staggered Toucan Crossing
Against Push Bikes' advice, the engineers designing the A38 cycleway ignored the need to consider how the cycleway would connect with a cycleway that was likely to be built along Edgbaston Road, and this is the result. The toucan crossing joins the cycleway on the wrong side of the low-level (and only) traffic light aspect for the crossing over Priory Road, which means people on bikes who want to turn left at the end of the Edgbaston Road cycleway simply cannot see the traffic light aspect that applies to them. This is a very serious engineering failure that has resulted in an unsafe and unusable arrangement. It should be corrected as a matter of urgency, and the city council also needs to put in place the engineering process necessary to ensure this never happens again.
