We demand that the Sumner Road/Commercial Way junction be made safe for cyclists through better junction design and appropriate signal control.

Commercial Way is a busy road, with a lot of parked cars, so visibility is poor and traffic proceeding down Sumner Rd has difficulty crossing safely. The corners of the junction are wide and sweeping, which makes dangerous left turns across cyclists’ paths easier.

LCC policy area 3: Protected space on main roads
Quiet zones help keep through motor traffic away from residential streets. But often people will need to cycle along main roads: because that’s where shops and workplaces are, or because they are the most direct routes.
Currently, most main roads make cyclists mix with heavy and/or fast moving motor traffic, which most people find scary. Dedicated space for cycling on main roads gives people of all ages and abilities access to the whole road network by bicycle.
