Rediweld slims down cycle lane separators

Rediweld has introduced a new narrower version of its surface-mounted Orca cycle lane separator called the Orca Kerb which is only 150mm wide rather than 200mm as in the original unit. On the cycle side of the 100mm high Orca Kerb is a splayed face to guide a cycle tyre back into the lane rather than tripping the cyclists, while on the traffic side is a vertical half-battered face to deter vehicles crossing into the cycle lane.

On the cycle side of the 100mm high Orca Kerb is a splayed face to guide a cycle tyre back into the lane rather than tripping the cyclists, while on the traffic side is a vertical half-battered face to deter vehicles crossing into the cycle lane. Also unlike the original, the recycled rubber Orca Kerb comes in lengths of up to 1m allowing intermittent or continuous segregation of cycle lanes.

In this study, the authors, Kathryn Stewart and Adrian McHale, used a bicycle equipped with cameras to record vehicle overtakes in varying road situations to determine whether cycle lanes, colour block cycle lanes or no cycle lanes affect passing distances and cyclist st

Marketing manager Libor Sušil describes the system as weigh-in-free-flow as it measures the axle across the full lane width regardless of the position of the wheels and the sensor can also detect underinflated tyres even on twin wheel configurations. He likens the measuring method to that of a strain gauge but adds that
