Brian thought it was high time we tried out Cambridge's newest bit of cycling infrastructure. Recently completed at a cost of £32M the Milton Road Improvement Scheme features dedicated cycle lanes and, most notably, a CYCLOPS "cycling optimised protected signals" junction separating pedallers and pedestrians from the traffic. It's really a fancy roundabout featuring a remarkable 36 traffic lights.
Glad to say, our thirteen-strong peloton negotiated it all with aplomb and the general consensus was that it works. Hats off to the transport team at The Greater Cambridge Partnership.
