With today's headlines about London being the 'world's most congested city' + the entirely predictable fingers being pointed at cycle lanes, we thought we'd take a deep dive into the data... (Spoiler alert: cycle lanes don't seem to be the problem)
As word spread across news and broadcasting outlets, social media and many a family groupchat that London has been crowned the"world's most congested city" for 2022, it is entirely predictable that fingers have been pointed at cycling infrastructure and active travel schemes.
Likewise the 'A406 North Circular Road eastbound from A1 Falloden Way to A110 Bowes Road' below has an all-too-familiar shared-use path running alongside a major dual carriageway, unlikely to be causing extra congestion. Outside of London the picture is even clearer. Of the 10 most congested routes, four have no cycle lanes and three just shared-use paths, often beside a thundering A-road.
Just one has a significant stretch of segregation for those riding bicycles, and the rest have a short stretch of segregation, painted lanes, wands or bus lanes
