Cycle lane markings
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later
Following the resurfacing of the road , the cycle lane appears to have been overlooked when new markings were repainted . Plus following my previous requests with the road closed overnight this would have been a good opportunity to repaint the full length of Stratton way . This request has now been put to the Abindon cycle infrastructure plan .

I cycle along here regularly. I was about to ask if this road and others now in the 20mph limit will have cycle markings painted in the middle of the road, similar to Abingdon Rd heading into central Oxford. Or have a cycle lane that is at the current LTN 1/20 standard of 2metres. The previous cycle lane along here is not wide enough, or to use the slang, is a 'murder strip'.
Given there is frequently oncoming car traffic and queuing in the opposite lane, there isn't enough room for a car to safely overtake. I assume primary position along this stretch, which is generally better for preventing unsafe overtakes, but this weekend I had one driver shout at me as he squeezed past (if I'd had my camera on I would have reported to TVP).

Six months after reporting and we're still waiting for the cycle lane to be reinstated along Stratton Way.
