Perhaps, most useless bike lanes in the UK

London, United Kingdom

3 Oct, 2024 - 4 months ago - on Westminster Bridge

These two lanes on Westminster Bridge are always incredibly dangerous, especially the southbound lane, which poses a real hazard for cyclists. Tourists frequently step into the lanes to take photos or selfies without checking for oncoming traffic. The crossing at the end of the video is a particularly problematic area and a constant black spot for incidents. The council should seriously consider segregating the cycle lanes from the pavement, rather than road traffic, to improve safety for both cyclists and pedestrians.
