Hertfordshire cycle/ walking survey

[Failed Unit]

For those in the area this survey could be interesting.

Give your views on final proposals for cycling and walking improvements across Hertfordshire

A final consultation, giving our residents the opportunity to share their views on several proposals to improve facilities for pedestrians and cyclists in Hertfordshire, is now open.

I live very close to the Wiggenhall Road "improvement". It might work well for cyclists accessing the Ebury way but for the journeys I do the initial contra flow cycle lane has just narrowed the road and significantly increased the number of dangerously close overtakes I am subjected to. This is going to make it even worse.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the layout that was there before, all they had to do was turn the bridge pavement into shared use - it was wide enough already!

I really wish they would spend the money on fixing potholes and increasing the sensitivity of detectors at traffic lights instead.

Or even thought about it when they built the hospital link road. No way to get to all that new development from the Ebury way - which is odd to me.

If they really want to do something. Sort out cycle routes from Bushey Station toward Bushey (and all those secondary schools), and the horrible cycling experience of that gyratory.

In effect all they doing is widening the pavement, like the section of Lower High street in front of B&Q - the bit cyclists rarely use because it’s marooned at birth ends
