1.) The number, length and locations of any new cycle lanes in your borough/local authority since March 2020.
Within Exeter City, we have put in 9 pop up measures to provide new cycle lanes. This includes
– 7 point closures.
– 1 is to provide contraflow cycling on a 60 metre stretch of road and
– 1 to provide a contraflow cycle lane on 180 metre
The point closures were chosen as they enabled creation of quiet corridors on identified strategic cycle routes, for example 4 of the measures are used to create a 4km E9 quiet corridor linking residential areas along the route with major employment areas on the eastern edge of the city at Pynes Hill, the RD&E Hospital, County Hall and the city centre.
Other proposals have been progressed elsewhere in the County; however, these are crossings or enhancements aiding active travel rather than new cycle lanes. More details are available online at:
