Northbound: Very narrow shared access path approaching junction, inadequate for bidirectional cyclists & pedestrians. The path for cyclists to across the junction is not obvious. The cyclist must assume that they should now cross to the western side of the Eastern Rd as a CP now starts on that side (the left hand side). Doing this is tortuous, time consuming and dangerous particularly as there is no pedestrian phase of the lights crossing the Eastern Rd at either end of the junction and the central refuges are too narrow to accommodate a bike, especially when towing a trailer (as might well be the case for a supermarket trip) or using a tandem.
Southbound: Issue less severe as only Fitzherbert Rd needs to be crossed. This still takes approximately 90 seconds.
