00:00 Despite the fact this bike lane has caused injuries to at least 80 people,
00:04 the most dangerous cycle lane in Britain is here to stay.
00:08 SWNS reports the lane's infamous optical illusion design is the main issue.
00:13 The lane appears to be flat, but it actually passes over a pedestrian crossing.
00:17 But despite local efforts to have the lane scrapped,
00:20 councillors in Kainsham High Street, near Bristol,
00:23 dropped a motion targeted at improving its safety.
00:26 Since it opened in 2022, 76 people have reported falls in the cycle lane,
00:32 although the unreported figure is believed to be significantly higher.
00:36 The lane had to be repainted red in August 2022
00:40 after 46 injuries were reported on the stretch of road in just six months.
