Kingston Hill

Does anybody go by car up Kingston Hill I have put this on before, but it is really dangerous with all the bollards sticking out on both sides of the road. The cyclists can suddenly go up onto the pavement and knock somebody over if they are leaning out looking for a bus. Even driving a car when dark.

I agree that the cycle path / bus stop design is foolish and looks dangerous to me.  The segregated lane otherwise at the side of the road is OK though.  The challenge is how to manage segregated cycle lanes and bus stops / side roads / driveways.  Not sure there is a perfect answer.

Does anybody have any constructive suggestions on how this could be improved because when complaining to the Highway Authority or Council it is good to give constructive suggestions.  Barbara have you been in touch with them?Why not try  www.fixmystreet.com    It is an easy website to use and they send your report to the right authority.You might also find that these road improvements have been designed by young people when our ageing eyes are not quite as good or quick to work in the dark.  They should be designed for everyone! Just like all our streets and buildings - accessible to all.Cataracts
