A Leyton cycle superhighway!

Thanks to an enlightened and progressive council, cyclists in Waltham Forest have the benefit of a cycle route that runs in a straight line from Grange Park Road E10 and along Manor Road to the A104. This route passes through a road closure and incorporates a contraflow lane on the one-way section of Manor Road. This route allows cyclists to avoid two busy A road alternatives.

(Below) The cycle lane is not at grade but incorporates a step, to ensure that drowsy cyclists are jolted awake.

























After negotiating the pink step and the jagged stump of bollard, cyclists are free to enjoy the benefits of a top class contraflow lane (below).
