Abstract

A road lane separator that separates motorised traffic from cyclist, to define cycle lanes. The road separator has a higher profile on the road side to nudge or encourage a driver of a motorized vehicle or bike, to steer away from the cycle lane; and a shallower profile on the cycle lane side, to encourage a cyclist to steer away from passing motorised traffic. The barrier can be made from thermo-set plastic or thermo plastics, including recycled tyres. The barrier may also be made from ferrous or non ferrous metals. The road barrier is fixed to tarmac asphalt by bolts or adhesive.

Description

Description A barrier system that divides motorised traffic from cyclist, to define cycle lanes. The system is fixed to standard tarmac asphalt via two bolts into location. The barrier system also known as a Pink Bobby incorporates a higher profile on the road side to nudge or encourage the driver to steer away from the cycle lane. The shallower profile on the cycle lane side provides a similar function to steer cyclist away from passing traffic. The barrier system can be made from thermo-set plastic or thermo plastics including recycled vehicle tyres.

Claims (6)

Claims Cycle barrier, Pink Bobby This invention relates to a device for protecting cyclist from motorised vehicles
1. A cycle barrier comprising of a higher profile on one side, to deflect or prevent motorised vehicles from encroaching onto cycle lanes.
2. A cycle barrier according to claim 1, that defines the road side boundary for both cyclist and motorist.
3. A cycle barrier according to claim 1, that can also be used to protect pedestrians from cyclist, by defining a cycle lane in a pedestrian area.
4. A cycle barrier according to claim 1, that can fixed in position either by bolts or adhesives.
5. A cycle barrier according to claim 1, that can also be made from thermo plastics such as recycled car tires, or thermo set plastics.
6. A cycle barrier according to claim 1, that can also be made from ferrous or non ferrous metals.
