Campaigners say an infamous 'optical illusion' cycle lane is still too dangerous - and has now injured around 100 people.

The lane has been branded 'the most dangerous in Britain' due to the high number of injuries - with locals blaming the 'optical illusion' design.

Walkers on Keynsham High Street say they have repeatedly missed and tripped on a 'hidden' curb - which they say looked like a flat line as it is painted white.

Since it was installed by Bath and North East Somerset Council in March 2022 it is estimated 100 people have been injured on it.

Lib Dem Councillor Paul Roper told the BBC it took the injuries "extremely seriously" and was working on improving the cycle lane.

The Councillor said measures already introduced had led to a fall in reported incidents but more work was being done.

He added: "In the coming weeks, we will be removing the solid white line at the edge of the cycle lane, and replacing it with a broken white line and adding double yellow lines on the carriageway to create additional visual signals that there is a kerb.

"This is subject to the completion of the road safety audit and to the weather conditions being adequate to allow for the installation to take place."

But opposition Conservative Councillor Alan Hale said more needed to be done.

He added: "It's an utter pantomime.

"You'd think with the best part of 100 casualties over two years, the counci lwould actually be doing something positive and firm.

"People will not stop falling and will not stop injuring themselves.

A spokesperson for the Liberal Democrat group said the majority of incidents happened within the first six months of the scheme going in and the numbers were dropping.

Injuries people have included fractures, lost teeth, and significant bruising.

The lane had to be re-painted red in August 2022 after 46 injuries were reported on the stretch of road in the first six months.

Locals wanting it scrapped have previously recalled their experiences of coming to harm there.

One person said: "I fell into the road last year, cutting my knee, twisting my ankle and ripping my jeans.

"The Council were not very helpful or even asked if I was ok. They did suggest that I use the crossing next time."

One said "That’s just the ones that have been reported.. it’s a daily occurrence pretty much.

''Have seen some pretty nasty falls having worked in one of the shops on the High Street."

Another person said they had been pushing a wheelchair when they nearly fell.

They said: "You just can’t judge the step especially if you are distracted a really poor design."
