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.

8153 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. Also unlike the original, the recycled rubber Orca Kerb comes in lengths of up to 1m allowing intermittent or continuous segregation of cycle lanes.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
