Almost 60 people have now been injured on Keynsham High Street, where an “optical illusion” cycle lane was installed last year.
Using a freedom of information request, Keynsham South councillor Alan Hale discovered that 59 people had sustained an injury since the new route has been put in place. He has now warned that someone could suffer a fatal injury, reports Somerset Live.
A new cycle lane was opened in March 2022 after nine months of work, beginning an odd phenomenon of people falling in the high street. One person who fell described the cycle lane as an “optical illusion” as there were kerbs and painted white lines which looked similar to each other.
