The design here is dismal. The carriageway is designed such that drivers can make a speedy exit off Harborne Lane into Chapel Lane. They often struggle to stop in time for people trying to use the crossing. This is exacerbated by cyclists heading towards the camera having poor visibility over their shoulder of incoming traffic. Even the crossing itself is poor, with a super-narrow cycle section with which nobody bothers. This should be rebuilt, preferably with Chapel Lane meeting Harborne at a right angle (to slow the motor traffic), but at the very least there should be a severe speed table approaching the crossing. On the opposite side you can see the cycleway continuing on until it meets the atrocious ultra-narrow cycleway heading towards Aston Webb Boulevard. The cycleway passes behind the bus stop, which is best practice.
