The Broadgate roadworks have finished and the 'first of its kind' CYCLOPS junction is open 🚴
circular route, which benefits from the inclusion of two-way cycle crossings in two locations, providing direct links across the Guild Wheel cycle route and to the Penwortham to Preston Cycleway.County Councillor Scott Smith, lead member for highways and active travel for Lancashire County Council, said: “The award-winning CYCLOPS concept, first piloted in Greater Manchester and adapted now for Lancashire, is now appearing in more and more towns and cities across the UK.
“It’s great to see Lancashire’s first CYCLOPS junction up and running and, while it may take a little getting used to, I am confident all road users will feel its benefits. “I’d like to encourage local residents to come out, have a look at the new junction and perhaps even have a go at our event on Sunday 9 July.
“Encouraging more people to ditch the car and take up more active forms of travel, particularly when travelling in and around Preston city centre, is a big goal of ours. “Our new CYCLOPS junction will help people do that, and will make this busy junction easier and safer for all.”
