As part of our commitment to Active Travel and achieving net zero by 2040, St Helens Borough Council took the lead on a project to install a CYCLOPS (Cycle Optimised Protected Signals) junction in Lea Green, the first of its kind in Merseyside.
Replacing the roundabout by the Bull and Dog pub (Marshalls Cross Road / Clock Face Road), the CYCLOPS prioritises the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. The scheme forms an integral part of the £15m St Helens Southern Gateway scheme, a partnership between the local authority, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Northern Rail to help make sustainable travel an easier choice for commuters who use Lea Green Railway Station.
Appearing in more and more cities and towns across the UK, CYCLOPS junction's segregate cyclists from motorists, prioritising the safety of people walking and cycling.
The St Helens CYCLOPS junction officially opened on 4th September 2023.
