A new "optical illusion" cycle lane has caused 59 injuries following its launch last year. The bikeway was opened in March 2022 after nine months of work on a busy high street.
Since its completion people have complained of an odd phenomenon which has caused people to fall over and hurt themselves. One victim described the cycle lane as an “optical illusion” as there were kerbs and painted white lines which looked similar to each other.
According to Somerset Live, 21 people are pursuing personal injury claims against Bath and North East Somerset Council in relation to the road in Keynsham. Though it is believed that seven of these have been rejected so far.
