Cotswold Rd traffic scheme under way

Work is well under way on the eastbound carriageway of Cotswold Rd, i.e. heading towards Yate. The idea is to restrict the lane width so that it becomes less of a racetrack and traffic speeds reduce. This is being done by painting a cycle lane and parking bays. There will also be a flashing speed sign.

If you don't like it, please don't blame the cyclists - they didn't ask for the new lane. It's just way to make the road seem narrower so that drivers will slow down.
