Parallel crossing
Parallel crossings enable cyclists to cross a road safely and with the same level of priority as a zebra crossing gives a pedestrian. The crossing looks similar to a zebra crossing but also includes a cycling crossing area which is parallel to the zebra crossing area, this is marked by broken white lines.
Indicative costs
Parallel crossings with anti-skid carriageway surfacing and associated street lighting cost approximately £40,000 – £50,000.
