Liverpool’s ‘experimental’ pop-up cycle lanes had a varied impact on improving attitudes towards cycling across the city, according to the region’s cycling and walking commissioner Simon O’Brien.
Speaking at the City Region ’s Active Travel Summit earlier this week, when asked by the ECHO whether the temporary nature of the schemes served to further the divide between drivers and cyclists, Mr O’Brien said there was evidence they had a positive impact in some areas.
He told the ECHO: “Some worked and some didn't. They were very experimental. But some have worked fantastically well. For others, the highways engineers have certainly learnt a lot more than anything else.”
