Good Cycling Facility of the Week: 1st May 2014

This week we are featuring a simple piece of infrastructure in Bristol - a bollard that stops people driving through an arch between Broad Street and Quay Street, while leaving the route open for cycling. Measures like this can also serve to remove through traffic from streets, making them safe and attractive for cycling.

It's not perfect - it doesn't form part of a useful network, and has a bumpy cobbled surfaec - but shows what can be achieved simply and at low cost.
