    Update on the trial
    We have decided to remove this temporary facility and return both lanes to their previous capacity.

    Whilst the scheme was implemented to promote the use of cycling as an alternative to the motorised vehicle, as highway authority we do have a responsibility to manage congestion on the network. As our scheme removed 50% of the vehicular capacity this has had a detrimental impact on queuing and delays. Officers have been monitoring this regularly and adjusting the signal timings appropriately, but with The Dover Traffic Access Protocol (TAP) in place we are of the view that the trial scheme would cause adverse congestion on local roads. Therefore, the decision has been made to remove the scheme.


    Loosely translated.......”It was a cockup.”
