Paramedics have been forced to mount six-inch raised curbs (SIC) to get
dying people to A&E in Bournemouth, Dorset, after the bike-only lanes
were extended.

The road - a direct route to Bournemouth Hospital near the A347 - was
narrowed as part of a £102million Transforming Cities scheme to
encourage eco-friendly travel across South East Dorset.

But the plan has been blasted as a "waste of money" by raging locals who
claim ambulances and fire engines can't fit through anymore.

Blue-light workers now have to weave through stacked-up rush hour
traffic with pictures showing tyre marks on the concrete kerb from where
drivers were forced to mount it.

Wouldn't it be ironic if a cyclist injured in a single-vehicle accident
died due to the delays in getting the ambulance to the scene and then to
hospital.
