For cyclists the distance to Orchard Park, Kings Hedges, Regional College, Chesterton, Abbey, Arbury Road could be reduced and moved away from the 40 mph road. See Ring Fort Path idea http://iitm.be/OrchardPath
A 200 m long shared use path could lead from the A14 roundabout (Histon junction, see #31013) to the service access to the west of the Premier Inn hotel, connecting Histon (Holiday Inn, Vision Park, IVC, Swimming Pools etc) with Orchard Par ... [more]
From here to the Premier Inn Hotel and Ring Force Road is 770 m distance on the existing path (passing a cyclists dismount sign). It could be reduced to under 200 m, see #31013

The gate is open and people walk to the roundabout, reducing the distance by 75%. With a 1/20 gradient achievable, it would be good great if those using push chairs, wheelchairs or bicycles could benefit from it, too.

Why go the long way (770 m) if it could be 200 m (less then 5% gradient). See area #31012 and map #10348. Ring Fort Road will be Orchard Park's commercial area with shops and a second hotel.
A direct path from the A14 Toucan crossing (to be upgraded in 2011) to the Premier Inn Hotel, the primary school playground etc would be a descent of less than 9 m over a 200 m distance.

At Orchard Road and Mill Lane (and Ambrose Way) the cycleway recedes from the main carriageway, leading on to crossings over speed-tables which will be marked for drivers to give way to cyclists.
New Cottenham - Impington cycle path, with crossings away from the corner. Here a van parked partially into the crossing. See also #30371.
The cones artificially show how much room is left for a cyclist using the onroad cycle lane should a passing vehicle be squeezed by an oncoming vehicle. The advisory cycle lane is 116cm wide at its thinnest point.
The end of the Cottenham to Histon shared use cycle path. Joining the carriageway, involves looking and giving way to three different directions - left, ahead, behind. This is an example of how a cycle path can add danger for cyclists a ... [more]
The shared use cyle path. You always wonder if a pedestrian will pop out from the bus shelter.
Every dropped kerb slows down a cyclist and makes cycling harder. It is about 20% faster to use this road and you are not exposed to any cycle path obstructions.
If this cyclist had used the cycle path, they would have to stop to give way to the car. Worst case, they might be flying over that bonnet. A white van is parked on the cycle path in the distance.
At the northern end of Histon on the shared use cycle path. A series of driveways which a car may pop out of. Dropped kerbs to slow you down. In the distance a white lorry has parked on the path.
There is not enough room for two cyclists to pass on the Cottenham to Histon cycle path.
The thinnest part of the Cottenham to Histon cyclepath. That wheel is 27.5 inches, or 2'4" or 70cm diameter. Occasionally you have to dodge 50mph wing mirrors at head height from buses or HGVs.

The shared use cycle path between Cottenham and Histon. The ditch is very deep. I know of at least one person who has fallen into it. It beats falling into the traffic.
