Fabulous Fendon Road
Category: Science
A surprise Dutch-style roundabout in Cambridge? My folding bike took me to the Fendon Road roundabout to see a UK version of the CROW design. I describe the cycle-priority layout, 5m set back to floating zebra crossings, single traffic lanes, overrun apron and rectangular refuges, and what it means for Cambridge cycling infrastructure.
Rolly's Take
For the urban wanderer who finds poetry in infrastructure and revels in the nuances of cycling safety. This blog speaks to those who crave not just the ride, but the story behind the design, turning seemingly mundane roundabouts into a canvas of thoughtful engineering. Here, every detail is a note in a larger symphony of sustainability and community.
