Two motor vehicles blocking the contraflow cycle lane - in both cases there was a space free on the legal side of the road.

[Image taken 14.5.23] Burton Stone Lane, York. After seeing width restrictions on cycle routes earlier today (see: #193941, #193950) I caught up with a person riding a recumbent trike. I asked her the dimensions of her rig. She was riding … [more]

Plastic barriers blocking the cycleway. And significant overgrowth doing the same. Lack of maintenance from Trafford Council is responsible.

Why would anyone put two posts in the middle of the tactile paving? Because they don't have a clue what it's for, presumably.
What I think is meant to be a cycleway on the right comes to an abrupt (and unsigned) end at a tree. There's a sort of Cyclists Dismount sign a few metres further on - see #106195
[Image taken 16.4.23] Looking from the former Bootham Park Hospital grounds towards Bootham, York. Other image here today, context and links: #193056.
I think this is meant to be a cycle lane - but I also think there's probably nothing to stop cars from parking in it.
[Image taken 15.4.23] Bootham Stray/exit to Alder Way, New Earswick. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] I caught up with this couple as they were turning towards the cattle grid and York barrier #180736. I thought I'd check if they … [more]
[UPDATE: #193850] [Image taken 13.4.23] Wigginton Road, York. Steve from IndieGo (https://dressrdelivery.wixsite.com/tryigy) passes two fallen signs. This means they are trip hazards, useless - as they are not doing their job, and clutter. … [more]

Nicely ramped bridge across the Târnava Mare river from Blaj to Izvoarele - dropped kerbs would help.
Discriminatory blocking of the route to the Arkleston bridge across the M8 motorway, with tyres being placed over the bollards, narrowing the gaps between them considerably.
TPT NCN62 next to Carrington Spur Ashton on Mersey Trafford. Looking South.The path has narrowed since resurfacing in 2016. It's about half or third it's 2016 width. People pass each other with difficulty

Some of the gates across the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath are now regularly shut across the path again.
A brand new cycleway, so what do Stockport Council do? Erect three barriers on the entrance ramp. For....reasons. There are no barriers on the brand new road alongside it.

NCN62 Trans Pennnine Trail TPT . This gate is ajar . Uncertain whether this is permanent but this could be locked in a partially open position to allow access but exclude motor cars. See Longford Park Stretford image for an example of a … [more]

Van blocking the contraflow cycle lane on Bateman Street, with plenty of space across the road - they were unloading a mattress.
[UPDATE: I saw on 13.3.23 the sign had been righted and the sand cleared up] [Image taken 7.3.23] Wigginton Road, York. [NOTE: street view location approximate] Close to the works entry/exit for the Cocoa Works/Cocoa Gardens (see: #191296) … [more]
Terrible provision on NCN routes 6 and 68 - a couple of signs, but nothing has been done about the barrier, and the only drop kerb is on the far side.
Link to the riverside NCN route 6 - a dropped kerb would help, but it can be reached from the shared-use footway.
A low wooden barrier, almost invisible in darkness, has been added to the down ramp from the Abbey-Chesterton bridge. This appears to be intended to prevent wheeled users from bypassing the chicane by cycling over the mud.

Sale West Firsway opposite Lively Lobster Public House.Trees and hedges are growing close to the road with overhanging branches and twigs obstructing the road at eye level (cyclist eye level).Reported to Trafford 10/2/23 Request ID:2889389
This photo gives an idea of just how much of the route is lost beneath mud. There is probably more lost on the east side too.
I cleared some of the mud from this cycleway with a shovel. I didn't touch the east side, so there's probably at least 12 inches under there too.
A severe chicane breaks the universal yellow bollards regime on the Milton Keynes redway network, where a steep descent meets a road.
A line of parked vehicles blocking the highway is what greets you as you exit the cycleway from this roundabout. And shortly after, a protected cycleway starts again. These parking spaces should be removed.- there's a good chance those … [more]
