The narrow pavement on the wide A4 Bath Road south of Temple Meads is shared between people walking and cycling and is a very busy route.

Pedestrians and cyclists squeeze past each other on the tiny pavement to get from South Bristol neighbourhoods like Totterdown, Knowle and Brislington to the city centre or Temple Meads. Cycling there can feel dangerous and precarious next to fast travelling cars and lorries.
