Pretty simple. The section of road between 3rd exit and the 4th (which is also where you enter) is completely removed.
So taking the 3rd exit on a bike either means following the road all the way around, or just going directly from the entrance to the 3rd exit, as cycle lane is usually preserved where the road used to be.
- wizofaus 4y agoI looked at that E&C "horseshoe" - it still looks hairy if you're riding north on the A3 and want to turn right into the A201, given the number of crossings of busy roads with no traffic signals. But better than some of the busy 3-lane roundabouts I've had to navigate here with no provision for bicycles (or pedestrians really) at all.
- avianlyric 4y agoEvery junction on the E&C horseshoe if traffic light controlled, including all the cycle crossings. The safest route for bikes is to take the segregated bike route at the bottom of the horseshoe, then using the mixed bike and pedestrian crossing to go directly over the mixed used paved area, then use the mixed crossing on the other side to join the A201. Either that, or use the segregated cycle path, then horseshoe near London Rd. But honestly, on a bike you would just avoid the horseshoe completely. There’s usually better cycle routes that are more direct, and avoid large junctions like the E&C horseshoe.
