- A segregated cycle lane and 0.5m kerbed buffer zone on both sides of Matthews Lane form the junction with Prestage Street and St Oswald Street to the junction with Lonsdale Road (south side), then becoming a 2-way cycle lane on the north side of Matthews Lane from near the junction with Lonsdale Road to the junction with Mount Road.

At the junction with Mount Road:
