One of a number of missing speed cushions on Carlibar Road, and yes, a driver did swerve onto the other side of the road to take advantage of it.

Horribly narrow advisory cycle lanes in Great North Road at a pinch point. Taken from a rail replacement bus service.
It's great that there's a crossing on this route towards the station, but it's actually very dangerous if you don't know it - the outer bits are on slip roads where traffic gives way to pedestrians, but the central bit is controlled by … [more]
[UPDATE: On 19.5.23 the wand was still where it was in this image. To stop it being an eyesore and possibly a hazard, I took it to Hazel Court (the recycling centre #193086) as I did for the previous one.] [Image taken 17.5.23] Burton Stone … [more]
What on earth is going on here? Or rather not going on - this zebra crossing has been closed for about 5 months, maybe because some tactile paving is missing.
[Image taken 14.5.23] New Lane direction of Malton Road, Huntington / York. Clutter. Too many signs when road users need to understand what is happening, what to expect, what is expected of them and to be able to concentrate on what is … [more]

[Image taken 16.4.23] Village Street, York. Looking towards the turning to the Lysander Arms. No space for a footway on this side but there’s room to park. So people on foot have to cross and cross back again. Context and links: #193049.

Today, the council was awarded 100,000 GBP to fund an 'options analysis' for a crossing of the A10 near the Ely BP Garage for non-motorised users. Let's hope progress on this project can now be made!
[Image taken 15.4.23] Village Street, York. As I was taking the two photos here today, first one then a second person, the neighbour of the first, stopped. Three of us stood talking on the ‘no footway’ side of the street. They live on this … [more]

Pop-up-style roundabout and a petrol station - some drivers enter from the roundabout and double back, others head on to the bypass then turn left across the hatched area. All in all, an accident waiting to happen.
[UPDATE: #193043 Further, more extensive, damage] [Image taken 5.4.23] Burton Stone Lane (looking south), York. MY EXPERIENCE 1: I went back to this location this afternoon to take this image to be able to put up a complaint I made about … [more]
The Great Western Road cycle lane has very little protection remaining on some sections, and the illegal car parking further along is still a problem.
The Sighthill Bridge is reached by busy main roads with no cycle facilities, or alternatively an awkward route around the houses in Townhead. The toucan crossing across Baird Street was not working when I visited.
The Sighthill Bridge connects to busy roads with no cycle facilities, before reaching the city centre.
The verge vanishes at the level crossing - this busy main road is the Via Transylvania hiking and cycling route. Pretty rubbish.
The verge of this busy main road is the Via Transilvanica hiking and cycling route - not good enough.
Newmarket Road where the cycleway splits - a breakthrough at the time, but now considered discriminatory and exclusive as it requires quite a bit of confidence to hold a central road position while tailed by heavy traffic.
There's a bit of a scrappy route here from Ekin Road, across the verge, cycleway and Wadloes Road to the link between houses to Ditton Fields.
As in Târgu Mureș, motor traffic is prioritised and pedestrians have to wait a ridiculous time to cross.
Horrible junction optimised for motor traffic and with absolutely no provision for cyclists or pedestrians to get across. Typical of Târgu Mureș.
Horrible junction optimised for motor traffic - dangerous for cyclists, and pedestrians have to go three sides of a square and wait for up to a minute for the crossing lights. Then there's a sizeable delay before pedestrians can cross, just … [more]
Horrible junction optimised for motor traffic and with absolutely no provision for cyclists or pedestrians to get across. Typical of Târgu Mureș.
Howard Close The cars are parked sticking out into the road, some in bays that appear to be designed for in-line parking.
The roads and the drainage have been improved, but a shared-use path would really help - Rupea and Homorod aren't far apart.
[UPDATE: See #192696] [UPDATE: See #192696] [Image taken 23.3.23] Burton Stone Lane (Bootham/Clifton end), York. Earlier this week I saw the wand had presumably been hit by a motorist. It’s now on the pavement outlined red in my image. The … [more]
Level crossing closed as part of the rebuilding of the railway - all the more reason for a decent cycleway to the station.
Dumbraveni station - thoroughly rebuilt, but without any off-road cycle access. It's about a kilometre from the town centre, ideal for jumping on a bike.

Speed cushions and unrestricted parking don't mix well. The middle of the road is needed by bikes, and by oncoming vehicles straddling the other cushion.
Annoying post that doesn't have any signs attached is still there, despite my requests to have it removed, see #177376.
Both shared-use foot and cycleways on either side of Long Road get sprayed with dirty water from the flooding. This is just outside Long Road sixth form college. Reported to Cambridgeshire Highways 10th March 2023, awaiting ref. Already a … [more]
