Major changes to Gateshead unveiled to give people more space to walk and cycle
Well what an absolute s$%t show this is turning out to be. I went over to Newcastle late on last night and was sat in a queue of traffic along Askew Road. At least 6 cars in front of us, and probably more behind.
Can't see the logic in shutting the bank back up to Gateshead from the High Level. Buses will be sat at that give way junction for ages while lines of traffic will be streaming up Prince Consort Road from the western end of Askew Road.
Whoever has put these changes together deserves a colonoscopy with a cattle prod.

(22 Jul 2020, 3:25 pm)Andreos1 I've copied/pasted some of the key points and added them below.Quite. Nobody cycles in gateshead! It's uphill both ways!Unfortunately, I can only see the problem of pollution shifting elsewhere.
- The closure of the northbound section of the Gateshead flyover to make it cycle-only
- The creation of new cycle routes in the Oakwellgate area and on the approaches to the Tyne Bridge
- The removal of all traffic except for buses, cyclists and pedestrians from a section of Askew Road where it joins the Tyne Bridge
- The elimination of buses and other traffic from the historic Bridges Quarter except for access and deliveries.
I can't get my head around the first point at all.
