12 May (Part 1) - Another Welling corridor
The
Welling Corridor Photo Diary
is complete but it is not the only cyclists’ death trap that Bexley council has created
in the town. Not far away in Upper Wickham Lane the carriageway has also been made
artificially narrow, barely wide enough for the 96 bus to squeeze past the traffic
islands, certainly a place where extra care is required if a cyclist should be in the vicinity.
Having created a hazard for those on two wheels, Bexley council
has the perfect answer. A pot of paint. Cyclists are given false confidence by a short
cycle track where the road is inadequate. As if it is going to make a scrap of difference to their vulnerability.
