It has just been completed at the junction of Bicester Road and Gatehouse Road.
Parallel crossings - sometimes referred to as ‘tiger crossings’, enable cyclists to cross a road safely and are designed to make cyclists’ journeys easier and more reliable. They look very similar to a zebra crossing but the crossing includes a cycle crossing area ‘parallel’ to the zebra crossing area, which is marked by broken white lines. Both pedestrians and cyclists can cross the road at the same time without a cyclist having to dismount.
Drivers must give equal priority to pedestrians and cyclists and should slow down when approaching the crossing, look well ahead for pedestrians and cyclists about to cross and stop before the give way line.
