“Bollards knocked over. Loading bays obscured. Cars parked in between bollards. A totally brilliant idea executed with ZERO thought.”
“Absolutely love it but the trial has been very poorly implemented, resulting in illegal parking and a disjointed journey.”
“This is a great idea, poorly executed. The bollards are too easily dislodged and vehicles still routinely block the cycle lane. Cycle infrastructure needs improvement across Portsmouth but this simply sets the cause back.”
“I think the cycle lane is a good idea but it was badly implemented and the lanes were ignored by people wanting to park and the road markings were confusing.”
