Why have a 24 hour bus lane? The buses do not run 24 hours. The old peak time bus lanes made more sense.

The design of this section is appalling. The section from Clarendon Road to St Marks Street beggars belief. Heading inbound towards town, cyclists are in real danger. Taxis and delivery drivers (both categories being the worst offenders) regularly park WITHIN the cycle wands and on the pavement. This makes the space useless for cyclists and pedestrians. Was that really the intention? I have lost count of the times I have seen cyclists have to manoeuvre outside of the wands to avoid the parked vehicles in their supposedly safe space. The junction out of St Marks Street is poor and taxis use it as a means to drive down the pavement inside the wands. Coming outbound from the city, the positioning of the end of the bus lane is right opposite the St Marks junction. What a silly place to choose to force buses and other vehicles into conflict! It is dangerous. Then in another example of unthinking stupidity, the bus stop is AFTER the end of the bus lane, just where the wands begin, again putting vehicles in conflict. Why not have the bus stop in the bus lane, a few yards nearer to town and away from the St Marks junction on the opposite side? I can only conclude that whoever designed this section has never driven or cycled this route. The St Marks junction has always been a problem and it is now significantly worse.

Needs to be extended further out along the a660. Headingley is close enough to walk into the city (I used to live there) so the infrastructure also needs to work for those living a little further out where cycling seems more feasible as walking is too far i.e. Adel, Lawnswood, Bramhope. Needs to go at least as far as Lawnswood roundabout

They should be removed - easy to crash into, makes it harder for cyclists to overtake each other and avoid in-lane collisins, but all are endangered here are as they prevent motorised traffic from pulling in to allow emergncy vehicles to pass
