Cycle Route Success in Birmingham

New cycle routes [?] in and around the center of Birmingham and speed limits [?] on selected roads...The scheme [?] in operation for a year and as a great success. Since the new speed limits [?], the number of accidents in the area [?] dramatically...It only six months to draw up the plans and mark the routes. This [?] in consultation with groups representing city cycles...Jane Wills, a keen cyclist who works in the city center, told us: "When the new routes [?] I [?] my car and I [?] a bike. I [?] to work ever since. It's the best thing the council [?] for cyclists and pedestrians in the time I've been living in Birmingham." The success of the scheme [?] to proposals for similar schemes in other cities.
