We've been working closely with the Taunton Area Cycling Campaign (TACC) group to put up new close pass signs around Taunton! 🚴‍♂️ These signs are designed to promote safer cycling by reminding drivers to give cyclists plenty of space on the road. ↔️

So, a quick reminder for all drivers: when you're passing a cyclist, please make sure to keep a safe distance of at least 1.5 metres. It's a small step that makes a big difference in keeping our cycling community safe.
