Cycle Route Success in Birmingham

Cycle Route Success in Birmingham

New cycle routes have been built in and around the centre of Birmingham and speed limits were reduced on selected roads… The scheme was now in operation for a year and has been hailed as a great success. Since the new speed limits were introduced, the number of accidents fell dramatically… It has taken only six months to draw up the plans and mark the routes. This has been done in consultation with groups representing city cyclists… Jane Wills, a keen cyclist who works in the city centre, told us: ‘When the new routes have been introduced, I have sold my car and I bought a bike. I cycled to work ever since. It’s the best thing the council did for cyclists and pedestrians in the time I’ve been living in Birmingham….. The success of the scheme has led to proposals for similar schemes in other cities.
