Marshalls Landscape Protection, part of hard landscaping manufacturer Marshalls Group, is delighted to introduce the latest addition to its Active Travel Solutions range: the new Cycle Segregation Unit, designed to help create safer and more accessible urban spaces for cyclists.
The Cycle Segregation Unit has been developed to help local authorities, specifiers and highways professionals deliver on this campaign by creating safer and more sustainable travel infrastructure, as well as encouraging a more active approach to commuting in local communities.
Manufactured from concrete and with a smooth grey finish, Marshall’s Cycle Segregation Unit is a versatile kerb solution, designed to act as a demarcation tool and safely segregate cyclists from trafficked areas.
With a 45-degree splayed profile on the cycleway side, the unit provides a soft transition between the carriageway and the cycle lane, while also enabling cyclists of all abilities to use the cycleway without fear of colliding with a steep kerb. Meanwhile, the outside kerb side features a bullnose profile, intended to stop vehicles from mounting the unit and potentially endangering the cyclist.
Designed to be installed in both new or existing schemes where the highway requires a redesign, the concrete segregation unit requires minimal maintenance and is compliant with the performance levels set out in the European Standard BS EN: 1340.
Marshalls Landscape Protection offers a number of Active Travel Solutions to enable the creation of safer and more inviting urban spaces for cyclists and pedestrians, including lane delineation, traffic calming and social distancing solutions.
