Lamp posts obstruct a newly built cycle path

Two lamp posts stand on a newly built cycle path along the upper part of Laugavegur, including one positioned in the middle of a cycling lane, mbl.is reports.

The path runs alongside the Heklureitur development, where large buildings have been constructed. A second lamp post farther up Laugavegur also stands on the path, though it is positioned more between the lanes.

Separate cycling and pedestrian paths run in front of the first post. The article notes that such an obstruction would be unlikely to be accepted on a public road.

Cycle paths have expanded across the capital region in recent years, providing cyclists with separate lanes in many parts of the city. The new posts are examples of obstacles that can still arise as the infrastructure is developed.
