The Shanghai government plans to build cycle lanes on the newly opened Middle Ring Road, a city official said yesterday, Shanghai Daily reported. 

The scheme follows a newspaper report that cyclists and scooter drivers were being forced to illegally use the same lanes as cars and trucks because parts of the road only had vehicle lanes.
