I can see that the raisers & post would be an invaluable tool in stopping motorist from cutting the corner at intersections.

Please install these on Whitmore street, and the Bealey Ave/Whitmore corner.

the separators on Strickland street seem to work well. In a city where cycle lanes are a convenient place to park your car while on the cell phone, place your road signage or just use as a extra ‘lane’, these put the statement loud and clear as to what they are for

give us more!

I regularly cycle down Strickland street and these dividers make that intersection much safer for cyclists. There are two hazards there that they help prevent. 1 – drivers using the cycle lane as a turning lane leaving nowhere for the cyclist to go and 2 – if the light turns green just before the cyclist gets there there is the danger that the drivers cut off the cyclist without looking. With the dividers the drivers are more aware of cyclists and have to take a wider turn. I think they are great and would like to see more.

These are a great idea. I have not travelled these routes but I commute regularly and can see how practical they are.
Looking forward to seeing more around town and great idea re sponsorship.

In reply to Jonathan Tunnell. Ho Johno, I gather that the Council are quite keen to start to look for other places to install them, now that the trials have proven successful. So we probably will see a roll-out over the next couple of years. However there's never enough money, so I don't see why we couldn't have corporate sponsorship to help push things along; will talk to you offline about it.

The separators are great, these should be all over Christchurch. I reckon I could get the company I work for to sponsor the installation of some of these if the council isn’t already onto it. Barclays bank in the UK sponsors cycling lanes in London we should do it here in Chrischurch. Can somebody supply me with some costs etc and who to contact in regards to getting more installed.

These are awesome. Strickland was always a frustrating intersection commuting for me, now much safer. Lincoln rd corner with Whiteleigh Avenue is a trouble intersection prone to accidents now it has a major volume of traffic. Cars often cue up in the cycle lane along Whiteleigh Avenue. I believe it would help with safety

I happened upon these separators for the first time last week (on Kotare Street), and I thought they were great. Okay, I might have hit them given I wasn’t expecting to see them there, but I felt safer knowing that cars were less likely to cut me off. I like them.
