A roundabout for cyclists has opened in Salford and is being hailed as the 'first of its kind' in the UK.
The roundabout was opened as part of a road improvement scheme by Salford City Council, and sits at the junction of segregated cycle lanes, including a new mile of segregated cycle track.
The project was aimed at encouraging more people to cycle through the city centre, with Salford City Council saying it was introduced 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", the Manchester Evening News reports.
