    Plans to introduce a cycling and walking friendly CYCLOPS-style junction in Greater Manchester have been scrapped after a residentsrCO campaign group rallied against the rCLmonstrousrCY active travel scheme, which they claimed would cause gridlock, kill local businesses, and remove a lamp located on
    the existing roundabout, which has been dubbed the arearCOs rCLlast recognisable landmarkrCY.

    The scheme, proposed by Oldham Council and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), and funded by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, was set to overhaul a roundabout in Shaw, Oldham, by introducing a new design to
    encourage active travel and make crossing safer for pedestrians and
    cyclists, largely mimicking other CYCLOPS (Cycle Optimised Protected
    Signals) junctions installed across the UK in recent years.
