The first official ‘Cycle Street’ will be built along a city center road giving cyclists priority over cars.

Adams Road in Cambridge is used by 3,000 cyclists at peak times of the day and will be redesigned mainly for cycle traffic.

The Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) scheme will see on-road parking removed, redesigned junctions to slow vehicle speed and wider footpaths.

Motorists will still be able to access the road – which will be painted red – but cyclists and pedestrians will have priority.

Cambridge has a reputation as a cyclist-friendly city and has one of the highest levels of cycling in the country.

The city is already home to a Dutch-style roundabout – in which drivers must give priority to pedestrians, then cyclists – which opened in 2020.
