The London Borough of Camden is installing what it says are the capital’s first ‘stepped track’ cycle lanes, where the lane is set at a different height from the adjacent footway and carriageway.
The lanes are being installed on Pancras Road, beside St Pancras International station. The road joins Royal College Street to the north, where Camden has already installed ‘light segregation’ cycle lanes that are segregated from motorised traffic by plastic Armadillos and plant boxes.
Works on Pancras Road are due for completion next month and also feature Camden’s first bus stop bypasses – continuous cycle routes round the back of bus stops that enable cyclists to overtake buses without entering the carriageway.
“Camden remains the most innovative borough for cycle schemes,” Camden officers told councillors last week, identifying measures such as Royal College Street; a proposed ‘protected’ junction for cyclists (Goods Way/St Pancras Road); and plans to turn Tottenham Court Road into a bus and cycle only road (construction is due to begin in November and be completed in 2018/19).
