I cycle this route frequently and it is bizarre that adjustments have been made on one side and not on the other

Southampton needs to do all it can to improve conditions and safety for cyclists to encourage as many people as possible to take up this much more sustainable form of transport. I cycle in and around Southampton a lot, and am often endangered by poor road design/maintenance and careless drivers. I support all improvements to make things safer and more pleasant for cyclists.

I welcome and support improvements to protect cyclists. I increasingly find myself at risk of serious injury, whilst being overtaken a few metres away from stationary traffic. Risking a life for no gain... I ask the question - Why? I would extend the plea beyond Dale road to the entire route between the University Highfield campus and SGH.

Cycling is not only an environment friendly way of transportation but is also an activity contributing to a more active and healthier lifestyle. The suggested improvements are critical to ensure that students, staff and visitors alike can do so safely and do not risk of ending up in the hospital as patients.

Cycling is cool but only if it is safe. In Southampton many roads require attention and Dale Road is one of them. It should at the top of priorities as there are hundreds bicyclers every day!

I cycle to uni everyday and the roads are disgraceful. I have to watch the road, dodge pot-holes, avoid cars, and concentrate on not getting hit by a taxi at the same time. I make choices of either getting knocked down by a car or hitting a pot-hole (which causes you to come off your bike anyway). I love cycling but Southampton needs to improve the safety! Cycle lanes please.....

Potholes and protruding drains force cyclists into middle of road which is extremely dangerous

The road surface is very dangerous as well as the road layout being highly 'bike toxic'.
