Worst possible provision: pavement cycleway where motor vehicles constantly cross or park on the footway.
Seven CYCLISTS DISMOUNT signs within a distance of 380 yards, here in Harlow. Photograph by David Owen, republished with permission, originally published at www.warringtoncyclecampaign.co.uk on their Facility of the Month series, Septem ... [more]
This is where cars often park invading pavement and the mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout), forcing cyclist into the car lane. This bay was designed as a bus stop, not parking.
The infamous East Road layby - the new broken white line has helped but it was quickly worn away and infringements began again - now I see it's been repainted. Maybe it'll last longer this time!
The switch from shared use pavement cycleway to on-street mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout). This part of the Ring Road is an important cycling route, but poorly designed and often obstructed. Signs are confusing and ... [more]
East Road. Cyclists leaving the subway cycleway bypass round the Newmarket Rd roundabout have to stear around street furniture to the dropped kerb, around illegally parked cars - avoiding collision with cars coming from the roundabout.
Victoria Avenue Toucan Crossing 2. The poles on the Midsummer Common (East) side make for a very tight turn onto the shared pavement, often in the face of people coming the opposite way. Unsurprisingly, many people follow the path ta ... [more]
The beginning and end of it. This is a short section of cycle path (shared use) leading from the Essex Yeomanry Way toucan, to the junction with Tollgate Drive. Look by the brick wall on the left and you'll see the 'End of Route' sign, a ... [more]
On road cyclepaths on Queensway Hatfield make this a dangerous roundabout for cyclists. You need to cycle much more out into the road to be safe here. Yet this is close to 3 schools!
New chicane at the entrance to the Garrison network. Still nothing to stop motorists parking in the bay directly in front of it (see #28885).
Visibility has been improved on this section of riverside pathway (NCN Route 51) since several obstructive barriers have been removed and vegetation been cut back. It would be improved still further if all the barriers were removed.
Bollards have been added to the large drop kerbed section of pathway alongside Circular Road North. One is actually on the cycle path, and none are reflective in any way.
Right-turn cycle lane to join shared-use footway - with an inadequate dropped kerb access.
A feedbacker has said: "There is parking abuse on this road obstructing cycles and hedging is well over the footpath"
Worn-out contraflow cycle lane and No Cycling sign that presumably refers to the footway to the right.
There's quite a ramp at this redway bridge where the embankment has settled down over time. Note that some of the railings are missing or stolen.
Cycle Lane is in the "Door Danger Zone". Do not use this type of cycle lane, you risk having a door opened in your face
Either side of this boardwalk has been repaved, at level (see #20796). Why wasn't it removed, and paved as well?
This is probably the worst designed cycle lane in London. They erected a bus shelter in the middle !
Colleges Cycle Route on footway along one-way section of West Princes Street. The next section has a line down the middle, but is signed with a standard unsegregated shared use sign.
Colleges Cycle Route continues straight on, along the footway because of one-way road.
Narrow line-segregated cycle route on footway of brand new Queens Park Street, around new Victoria Infirmary site.
Queens Park Avenue cycle track created as part of Cathcart Road Route Action Plan but never signed or marked across footway at road closure.
End of route, without any end of route sign. Cyclists could be forgiven for thinking that route continues along footway.
Toucan crossing across motorway sliproad at Polmadie Street, including shuttering even though it can't be seen from any other crossing, and making it difficult to see on approach to crossing!
New toucan crossing between James Street and Glasgow Green. Crossing has been moved slightly further away from the junction, putting it on a narrower section of footway, obstructed by sign posts.
Ridiculous narrow shared-use footway/cycleway on dead-end Camlachie Street, that isn't even continuous!
Newly "converted" cycleway/footway next to Fielden Street, with overhanging bushes and other obstructions
This is an example of incompetent cycleway design which has been bodged up. This road closure had pathways for cycles, but the gaps between the bollards meant it was abused by motor vehicles forcing their way through. The response has be ... [more]
Even without the temporary fencing this shared use footway makes a poor cycle route, with no separation from the main Glasgow Road carriageway, no bypasses at bus stops, Cyclists Dismount signs at pedestrian crossings, but there is a servic ... [more]
Gravel over the cycle track south from Graus at the cemetery - and there's no reason for a Stop line here.
End of cycle and pedestrian track entering Graus from the south; there is no provision for cyclists to now crossover to the righthand side of the road.
It's clear that moving the central reservation across by 1.5m would create space for a much-needed cycle lane on Hills Road
Many cyclists create their own advance stop line at the lights on Hills Road - needs to be formalised in the clear interest of safety and convenience
It's clear that moving the central reservation across by 1.5m would create space for a much-needed cycle lane on Hills Road
The bypass is bad enough- but why on earth does the start of it have "give way" markings?
Awful cycle bypass round a rising bollard. Insane tactile paving. No idea what the sign post is.
Southbound "bypass" at the rising bollard at the Railway station bus interchange. Vehicles coming out of the dropping off area have priority over any cyclists that use this! Compare this to a different solution for a similar situation in O ... [more]
The new cycle path between Bilsdale Close and Ipswich Road (see #33430) has a barrier preventing cyclists from joining/leaving it. Should a cyclist want to connect to St Johns Close (where the bollards are, across the road) they must dismou ... [more]
Shared-use cycleway/footway passes bus stop on London Road, something of a contrast from #33496
End of on-road segregated section of the cycle route from Glasgow Green to the Commonwealth Games site on London Road, and beginning of the shared footway section. At the moment the cycle route extends as far as Nuneaton Street on the footw ... [more]
It looks like cyclists using the London Road cycle track are meant to use the footway to get to and from the section on James Street (leading to Glasgow Green), rather than cycle on the road. No Turn Left sign still says "except buses" b ... [more]
What happens next? End of the line segregated section of the Glasgow Green to Commonwealth Games cycle route on James Street, Bridgeton.
Bus stop treatment (or lack of) on cycleway on James Street, Bridgeton. There's not even a high kerb on this newly installed facility.
Nothing's moving in Stevenson Street (Twenty's Plenty zone) but cyclists are told to use footway!
Cyclists using the new Merchant City to Parkhead Forge cycle route are told to use the narrow footway rather than use the carriageway on fairly quiet roads such as Stevenson Street and Crownpoint Road. This is the staggered Give Way junctio ... [more]
Inappropriate shared-use footway cycle route along quiet back street. When this cycle route was initially being discussed it was on the basis that it was on-road. No effort has been made to convert the footways to shared-use other than sign ... [more]

Shockingly narrow shared-use footway alongside 50mph dual carriageway section of Maryhill Road. No effort has been taken to convert this from a standard footway. There is a better cycle route through the science park, running parallel to th ... [more]
Babraham Road: lack of priority at side-roads. The Bell School development's funding of cycleway improvements must fix this.
Bell School development location of toucan; dutch-style cycleway needed from this point
