38266Photo #38266A nice, smooth, new blacktop surface has just been laid on one of the worst stretches of the Granchester Meadows path.

It is a shame that the opportunity was not taken to widen the path at the same time. It is much too narrow for comfortable passing at any time, and on the weekends this path is very popular.

38265Photo #38265The cattle grids are a huge improvement over the old pinch stiles that used to prevent cattle from wandering off the commons. However, in a step backwards, the barriers have recently been fitted with these arms, jutting out into the path. The reason is reportedly to stop cattle straddling the grid to escape, however they make a narrow gap even narrower, could snag the ends of a handlebar, and would do a lot of damage to small hands.

The Council assures me that they are just a temporary measure while wider cattle grids are installed. Let's hope so.

Just after a narrow section where vunerable road users are in with the traffic, and there are lots of pedestrians.

I heard the first car, which was very loud, but then was pretty shocked by the speed of the second in a narrow road with limited visibility. At the end of this short straight, it's a village centre and a 30mph limit.

I'm also not sure why this road goes up to a 40mph limit for less than half a mile between two villages with a large amount of cycle traffic.

This is even more important when travelling at high speed on a road that is narrow for 2 lanes.

And again, the usual irritation, there's plenty of space around that means they don't need to be here.

On the basic level "Highway code rule 163".
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314

This was the worst pass today. Absolutely no need for it. Scared me enough to pull out in case the car swiped right back in.

It's clear from all of this how utterly pointless this pass was. The traffic was clearly stopped ahead at the start of the clip and this car would have to stop. And then afterwards the road conditions were not different from normal. That is, there would be queueing traffic 100 yards further up.

Before loads complain that I was too close to traffic in front, the camera is zoomed, I have more space in front. Not to the side though. Later filtering was jumpy as the road surface is the usual mess it is at the side.
