A 'first-of-its-kind' roundabout for cyclists has opened in Salford. It has been built as part of Salford City Council’s biggest ever road improvement scheme that has seen huge changes made to Trafford Road.
Every junction along both sides of the mile-long road has been upgraded and a mile of segregated cycle track has also been introduced as part of a package of measures to encourage more cycling along with new crossings and signals.
The new roundabout sits at the junction of existing segregated cycle lanes in Trafford Road, Broadway and Rowland Street. The council say it has been developed after "extensive consultation with members of the public, cyclists and groups representing people with a wide range of disabilities and visual impairment" in order to "provide the safest crossing solution".
