1. 2

2. Station Road (C109) near junction with Newark Road (A1434), North Hykeham, Main Road (A607) near Old Hall junction, Leadenham.

3. Any pedestrian barriers erected on schemes by Lincolnshire County Council are Class B complying with BS 7818. These are not intended to act as vehicle restraint systems and, if these are determined to be required as part of a scheme, then full vehicle restraint systems would be designed and installed in their place. Having gathered information from all of the divisional Local Highways Managers, the Asset Management Team, Sustainability and TSP Lincolnshire County Council can confirm that we have not erected any additional temporary or permanent barriers on the highway to control the route of cyclists or protect cyclists or to reduce cycling accidents in this timeframe.

4. Lincolnshire County Council has welcomed the additional funding announced by the government; however, no information is currently available regarding scheme details, as per the request.
