Part of the Moorhouse/Hagley/Lincoln Rd redesign is flawed. The bend from Moorhouse into Lincoln Rd outside the car wash place is quite sharp and narrow. Often, I notice if a bus is carrying speed through the bend (ie; not accelerating from the lights), it can’t negotiate the bend safely without passing over the cycle lane. In fact, most cars I see cut the corner. Instead of making the refuge area to the left so big, they should have widened the whole bend and made the curve more gradual for cars and bikes alike. Too late now I suppose

There’s a new crossing to enable north bound cyclists to cross the new 4 lanes of Marshland Road when wanting to head east onto Mairehau Road. Also Northbound cyclists can bypass the signals with path across the head of the tee. Unfortunely the phasing takes ages and the “holding rail” and waiting space is a bit of an after thought.
Having said that, it does it’s job and crossing the 4 lanes is no longer dicing with death!
