St Andrews junction work rethought after cyclists fall foul of new layout

Further work has been carried out to improve safety at a remodelled junction in St Andrews after a number of cyclists fell foul of the new layout.

Several people fell off their bikes after failing to spot the changes at Doubledykes Road and Hepburn Gardens, with many turning left clipping the reshaped pavement.

However, workmen have been back on site to try to alleviate the problem.

Mark Dewar, service manager for design and construction, said it was “unfortunate” cyclists and motorists were not observing the new layout but said minor changes to white lining would “enhance the approach” of the new junction.
