Cyclists are being encouraged by council officials to ignore a dedicated cycle path and use a busy main road instead in an attempt to force traffic in the town centre to slow down.
Although cyclists have the use of the 7ft wide bike lane alongside the A35 in Bournemouth, Dorset, large bike symbols have been painted on the main road as well.
Town hall officials want cyclists to take a 'more prominent position' in the middle of the road - which is located in the suburb of Boscombe - in order that passing traffic will notice them
