    I'd prefer not to thanks ;-)

    Dear lord, one wonders what sucked out the brains of highways' engineers in
    order that they qualify for the job...

    So where do you go when you get to "END"? Is that a turning on the right
    and is that where the cars will be turning?

    Which reminds me. The Greater London Assembly is to scrutinise the
    London Cycle Network. That's within a committee room, I imagine, not
    actually on bikes.

    If you have any comments, you need to get them to Darren Johnson, of
    the Assembly's Transport Committee, by Aug 5th. How you do that, I'm
    not sure.

    The aims of the scrutiny are:

    To review progress made to date in the implementation of the London
    Cycle network Plus (LCN+) and to examine the potential obstacles to
    its completion by 2009

    To review and assess whether the LCN+ meets the needs of present and
    potential cyclists.

    To review and assess quality and standards of the LCN+ to date

    To make recommendations for improving implementation, quality and
    standards of the LCN+ network.

    I think that about 400km of the total 950 km of the network are now
    complete. That's enough, I imagine, to give an idea of how it is
    going to turn out. They are spending £17 million quid on it this
    year.

    I'm not sure that farcility was there when I lived in Salisbury (1999)
    and used that road. (I worked at Salibury District Hospital and made
    frequent trips to town.)

    I was always on the road; some of the gradients made starting off at
    traffic lights, whilst taking a right lane, on a Brompton T3
    'interesting'...

    Tim.

    Turn to the right is into a college. Pavement straight on is not shared
    use (that white line would make an award winningly narrow cycle lane if
    it was). There is nowhere to go but back the way you came if you are
    not going to college.

    Thanks for that. I didn't think that turning on the right was a road but
    I wasn't sure. So unless this is a cycle lane specifically to enable
    cyclists to reach the college it's sole aim seems to be to either
    encourage cyclists to ride illegally on the pavement or to ride
    illegally the wrong way along a dual carriageway.

    Isn't there a law against "entrapment"?

    Tim.

    If you are going to college, is it a useful shortcut from anywhere compared
    with going out of sight to the next junction in the left hand lane and
    coming back where the A36 arrow is?

    Isn't there another entrance off Southampton Road?

    I haven't the faintest idea - I was just asking about what I could
    see on the photo. The answer to my question could well be "no, the
    farcility really is totally pointless".

    Sorry, getting you confused with someone else local to it who posted,
    but I think your last sentence is correct!
