While the council has cleared most of the route south of Ringley, there are patches where the tractor couldn't reach. So I shovelled this one clear.
Access control barrier on the Crab & Winkle Way. Also visible is some carved artwork by Sustrans Volunteer Ranger Peter Clements who looks after this route.
Pointless barriers, no maintenance, no social safety. On a marked route between Porterfield Road and the Inchinnan Swing Bridge.
Shared pavement and cycle track gets very narrow by lay-by. There is dropped curb on both ends of the lay-by, so it is possible to cycle along the lay-by or in the road a short way.
Door that can be bolted shut, closing off access from the path to the Forth & Clyde Canal. It can also lie open and obstruct the path.
UPDATE 2018 ****Happily the worn surface has been replaced with trailflex http://www.sudstech.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-09-27-11.06.06-min.jpg It's still tight and challenging for anyone with a mobility aid. Ideally the … [more]
Bollards at entrance to towpath on NCN82. Hazard that requires warnings and conspicuous marking. Similarly, the wood posts and metal signpost require conspicuous marking.The 5mph speed limit signs are in poor condition.
UPDATE JUNE 2020 THIS HAS BEEN FENCED OFF AGAIN!!! https://safestreetstrafford.commonplace.is/comments/5ec6b01fe000835c3a24278d UNTILL THIS IS REOPENED THE TEMPORARY CYCLE PATH ON THE DUAL CAARRIAGEWAY SHOULD STAY … [more]
Compare with #31074 - the 'offending' Cyclists Dismount sign has gone, but that may just because the location of the work has moved and it's easier to divert pedestrians down the other side.
J & I Scaffolding left this dangerous obstruction on the road for 48 hours over 26, 27 and 28th October
Woolton Cycle Route, Liverpool, L25. This police car obstructs an advisory cycle lane. This was not an emergency (I talked to the police officer). There is plenty of parking in side streets, so obstructing the cycle lane was clearly … [more]
Cyclists are met by this chicane on their way to the General Hospital and have to cross the busy Turner Road.
Neighbours do not welcome French coach drivers: "Stationnement interdit sauf riverains". Though they are certainly following the instructions of local language schools to deliver the students at Woodhead Drive. Proposing alternative parking … [more]
All cul de sacs should be permeable on foot and by bike. Make travel by bike easy, painless and quick and there is a greater likelihood that people will cycle rather than driving. Remove all barriers, ensure all crossovers have dropped … [more]
This path could be converted to shared use, by removing the barriers to cycle access and dropping the kerb to join South Road. It is narrow but visibility is good as the path is straight. Link path to the end of South Close for a better … [more]
This path could be converted to shared use, removing the barriers to cycle access. It is narrow but visibility is good as the path is straight.
This passage becomes unsuitably narrow for shared use ahead. Retain barriers and keep as footpath only.
Motorists overtaking cyclists as they turn right out of the Science Park onto Milton Road are often surprised to find this piece of concrete (the near one in the picture) directly in their path. Cyclists should adopt primary lane position … [more]
Lorry obstructs vision at pedestrian crossing, Addenbrooke's Hospital. Stationary with hazard lights on. Foreign registered vehicle.
A taxi blocking a mandatory cycle lane during the morning peak. There are safer and legal places to stop in the service road to the left.
Van parked in mandatory cycle lane (and on pavement) in Cherry Hinton High Street. The van obscures a cyclist's view of the segregated on road cycle lane, and is also in a bus stop.
Large van blocking mandatory cycle lane on Newmarket Road, an added hazard is caused because parking is within speed camera capture zone. Will drivers be looking for cyclists or will they be more interested in their speedo because of the … [more]
Looking west along cycle way linking Hobart Rd and Montreal Rd, Romsey Town. Fence on left is Coleridge Community College. Brambles and other vegetation is extending into path on right.
The day after 'Revolution' (new name for pub) were supposed to have been read the riot act, this lorry was stopped for some 20min, and the driver laughed.
Chesterton Rd. Taxis, buses and private cars all obstruct the cycle lane on the zebra crossing approach.
This road is an 'Urban Clearway' at peak times. It is also illegal to park HGVs on the pavement. The person responsible for works here was unconcerned.
This is officially a cycle path and a very convenient way from Milton Road/Kendal Way to the river Cam (Frank's Lane / Anglers Way, over a green, crossing Fen Rd near the railway bridge). Unfortunately the path is obstructed on both ends.
Don't try this with a trailerbike. There are a total of five of these barriers, plus five 90 degree bends and a 180 degree bend on the "cycle" bridge over the A1 at Tempsford.
Many of the old stiles on Fen Rivers Way along the Cam have been replaced by these gates. (Note that this is officially a footpath only and it's illegal to ride a bike along it.)
It really is quite difficult to understand why these 'pram arms' are here. They are not preventing cattle moving, nor is it near a road junction. They are just a barrier, which more to the point would be very hard to see at night.
