Ms Anne Graham:

It is a challenge to provide space when there are so many different users of the road space. We went through many different ways of trying to get the safest solution that we could come up with based on all the different users and this is the approach that is being taken. It is being taken on an international basis. The island bus stop is a feature to try to take the cyclist off-road because it is a dangerous position for cyclists to be in, engaging with not only bus traffic but also car traffic. It is trying to reduce the conflict as much as possible and provide safe systems of crossing where that conflict is an issue for those who may have a disability.
