Squeezing / Lane Width Dangers

The pictures below are the first in a series we will be reporting. Here they demonstrate the lane sqeezing and the clear danger to cyclists and pedestrians. There is no margin for error here due to the lack of space. Before the changes traffic travelled further away from the pavement. Now it is forced towards the edges on the northbound side where the pavements are narrow (approx 1.6 metres) and with no wide grass verges etc. Here we can see the bus traveling over the double yellow lines. This shows how terrifyingly close big vehicles are to pedestrians and the lack of room for cyclists.
