Following a complaint of a 'fast moving' cyclist coming out from the river pathway the council felt that the cycle symbol gave a priority to cyclists and that a better symbol would be to have walker and cycle symbol in that location to indicate a shared space and need for caution.

We agree. But it's also a reminder of why we need to be particularly careful and considerate on our shared pathways and how easily the actions of a single cyclist can affect us all. We think it’s interesting however that the council doesn't run out with a paint brush every time there is a near miss with a cyclist and a car or perhaps consider banning cars from out streets altogether in order to avoid conflict on our roads.
