Changes made to Lime Street cycle lane over 'death trap' junction fears

Changes have been made to part of the new Lime Street cycle lane after people raised concerns over a 'death trap' junction.

The new cycle lane opened at the start of the month as part of the wider - and heavily delayed - redevelopment of the iconic city gateway. While people were impressed with large parts of the new cycle route, one area was picked out as problematic.

The area in question was the junction that would take cyclists from Renshaw Street towards Lime Street, crossing the busy junction outside the Adelphi Hotel. One video, shared by twitter account the Liverpool Wanderer, showed a cyclist trying to navigate the junction, where white lines had been painted onto the road to cover the supposed cycle route area, with a large wagon swinging into the cycle lane ahead of the rider.
