Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he plans to support the construction of new cycle lanes that are separate from roads.

Local highways authorities are responsible for decisions on cycle lanes in their areas, including on whether or not these should be segregated from other road traffic. The Department is currently in the process of updating its guidance note to local authorities on Cycle Infrastructure Design, which includes advice on where and when different forms of segregation might be appropriate, and the updated guidance will be published in due course.
