Soho Road has never been a dual carriageway

Oh it just looks like it might have been but that makes sense

Forget Bus lanes but motorists park all down the side of The A41 Holyhead/Soho Road which I'm sure is supposed to be a dualcarriageway or many years ago was. They want a crosscity route down there good luck with that it is one the biggest bottlenecks that side of the city. It is why the 79 doesn't go from Wolverhampton to Birmingham and why the 74 takes almost 40 minutes from West Brom to Birmingham

Soho road is a single carriageway, for it to be a dual carriageway it needs a natural/manmade division like a motorway (is a dual carriageway)

As is the blue route section of the Bristol Road, other older ones are painfully bad (Stratford Road in Shirley for example).

Yes some cyclists are inconsiderate, some selfish motorists park in bus lanes rather than in a side street or a car park.

The Perry Barr one is excellent with cycle priority at crossings etc. But still some insist in slowing buses down in parallel bus lanes

Crucially, segregated cycle lanes that are maintained and kept clear of broken glass, sunken drain covers and raised tree roots. One can dream.
