More infoPedestrian 'fast lanes' are being trialled in two UK city centres - to allow fast walkers to cut through the crowds. In Scotland’s biggest city, the fast lane has been painted down Buchanan Street – famed for its packed shopping crowds and rushing commuters. While in Yorkshire, speedsters can strut their stuff along Briggate – the city’s bustling high street, known for its busy shoppers and street performers. With 44 per cent in favour of introducing pedestrian fast lanes, Sky Broadband are trialling special fast lanes on busy pedestrian streets in Leeds and Glasgow. Yet given that the average worker spends the same amount of time walking as part of their daily journey, 44 per cent would support introducing permanent pedestrian fast lanes.
