The bus stop as designed and installed is a danger to pedestrians. The stop has been pushed into the street so that, when a bus is stationary at the stop, cyclists can leave the road and mount the pavement between the bus stop sign and the hedge. The problem is that the bus is stationary at the stop to allow pedestrians, ranging from Senior Citizens to families going to or from the local nursery, to board or leave the bus. Whilst waiting to embark on the bus pedestrians stand across the pavement, especially those with shopping trollies or prams. When disembarking from the bus pedestrians step across the pavement so that others can disembark behind them. On both occasions they stop to adjust their masks or adjust their shopping or make sure that they have their children in place. THE LAST THING that they look for is a cyclist riding off the road to undertake the bus. This is UNSAFE. As for the shelter, pedestrians need this to avoid the rain when waiting or having just disembarked. Please look at these stops and ensure that they have shelters and are made safe.
