Not in yet. They're still working on the section a little further down the road, I assume it'll all be topped together.

Oh I'm sure there will be at various points...! 🙄

Can't put bollards right at edge of carriageway so clearance plus width of bollard plus you lose 0.5m of effective width where there is an adjacent vertical obstruction of more than 150mm high.

I believe so yes.

You lose approx 1m of width then, though. In this case the carriageway has already been squeezed significantly, I don't see where you'd get that 1m from without compromising the footway or cycle track

Always nice to focus on the glimmers whenever possible! 😊

Here's a photo of a completed section of the same route, a couple of km up the road (on a much sunnier day!)

Bloody love beans 😁

Same - even my following feed is...! Hoping that it's a passing phase.

The only driver who didn't give us a comfortable amount of time and space was (you'll be shocked) the driver of a black range rover with vanity plate 🙄 Everyone else - not that we saw a huge amount of traffic - was very sensible and patient with anyone walking.

The reason for this, and the one further down the road, is to protect this presumably rather ancient stone bridge from idiots trying to force their too-wide vehicle across and damaging it.

Oh yes plenty of those round here too. You wouldn't want a car that you're too precious about, or be someone who likes to keep their car clean 🤣

I'd have loved to see that! 😄

I approve of the use of "marginalised street user" rather than "vulnerable".

The level crossing was the issue again today, apparently! As you say, you expect the occasional hiccup but it shouldn't be the case that you can't rely on it at all.
