Typical. You wait ages for a decent segregated cycle lane, and then loads come along at the same time…

Plans announced last November to transform Manchester’s Oxford Road – one of the busiest streets in the city, and one of the busiest bus routes in Europe – include segregated cycle lanes, alongside a priority bus corridor and a ban on general traffic during the daytime.

There’s no timescale yet for when this will happen, as changes need to be made to other streets in the city centre first.
