A bold plan to remove cars from some lanes on St Kilda Road to make way for cyclists has been revealed by the Labor Party.

Cars will be banned from the two middle lanes on a four-kilometre stretch of St Kilda Road, from the National Gallery of Victoria to St Kilda junction, under the pre-election promise.

Instead, a super bike lane would be built, keeping cyclists and motorists apart.

Under the $27 million plan, Labor has promised to build a dedicated bike lane in the middle of the road, complete with a protective barrier and green separation areas next to the tram line.
