Telford A442 avoidance route
Telford A442 Please avoid after LEJOG fatality in 2010.
In the summer 2010 there was a fatality when a cyclist participating in a LEJOG sponsored ride was hit by a car whilst travelling on the A442 dual carriageway around Telford. The dual carriageway can be avoided by following the route of what was the A442 of forty years ago. No local cyclists would entertain the prospect of cycling on A442 dual carriageway, it’s cyclist that don’t know any different who need to be informed of the dangers. The alternate route is shown to the left with a full map and instructions HERE.
Thanks to Geoff Shinner, Sustrans Liaison Ranger at Telford and Wrekin for getting in touch with the route and instructions.
From a safety point of view I would personally avoid all dual carriageways where possible. There are so many much quieter and more pleasant roads to cycle on in the UK and a national network of Sutrans Cycle routes to explore. On all roads though accidents can and do happen so please take care regardless of the route you use.

The site can be unavailable sometimes as well so try this link http://www.bikemap.net just to double check. If it is try again later.
NO MAPPING PROGRAM AND/OR GPS
