Next entry: Cycle Lanes of Surrey: 2 metre special
Previous entry: Outside the hotel
The Surrey County Council seems to put cycle lanes whereever this is convenient to their road engineers and there is just a little bit of space. Where road navigation is tricky or a lane might impinge on motorists’ space it abandons the lane, often at the most dangerous point.
A couple of weeks ago I posted about the short cycle lane in Chertsey which guides cyclists off one exit of a roundabout (but provides no other clear function). Here is the cycle lane leading up to that roundabout. It’s also about 15 metres long, and it starts and ends about 100 metres before the roundabout in the previous post. Again the general impression is that Surrey County Council decided “oh, we have a few metres here, why don’t we put in a short cycle lane”.
A map of the cycle lanes around here must look like a connect-the-dots puzzle.

It looks like the lane is intended to help cyclists turn right at the traffic light. Either that or it’s to give the cyclists a head start over the motorists in the 100 yard dash to the roundabout.
