Living Streets publish research report on 'Inclusive Design at Bus Stops with Cycle Tracks'
Living Streets, the charity that promotes a better walking environment, has published a very detailed research paper on the effects of ‘bus stop bypasses’, and other arrangements involving a bus stop and cycle track, on pedestrians. The report has a particular focus on the challenges that they present to people with vision impairment.
The report includes a detailed study of ten sites, including two in Cardiff city centre, where it was found 'additional challenges for a blind or partially sighted pedestrian alighting from a bus at sites with designs of this nature'.
