Earlier in December, British Cycling announced a new campaign, 'Turning the Corner', that calls for changes in the Highway Code to make priority rules at junctions clearer for all road users.

A major pinch point for pedestrians and cycle users just to the south of Birmingham city centre is the two junctions where Priory Road crosses Bristol Road and Pershore Road. On Sat 17th Jan, I attended a meeting at the junctions organised by Gisela Stuart MP in response to calls from local residents to have the junctions improved to make them safer for all users. This article lays out the solution I envisage for these junctions, arguing for high-quality segregation at both junctions, based on design ideas from TfL.
