Cycle track on Edgbaston Road
This section of cycle track from the Cannon Hill Park entrance on Edgbaston Road along to the entrance of the car park has been taken out of the carriageway. Previously there was a large hatched area in the middle of the carriageway, and there have been problems with speeding, as shown by the presence of a speed camera. Rationalising the width of the carriageway helps to calm the motor traffic as well as providing more space for active travel. Substantial concrete blocks have been placed to stop cars from entering the cycle track or knocking over the flexible plastic wands - something that has been a problem elsewhere in Birmingham. An extra benefit of a wide cycle track like this alongside a pavement is that the pavement becomes more comfortable for people walking here, as there is greater separation from the motor traffic.
