Waiting to turn right into Purbeck Road from Hills Road, to get to the sixth form college. Road markings have disappeared and there's no central lane marking to help the hundreds of cyclists who need to make this maneouvre every day.
Turning right into Purbeck Road to access the cycle parking for Hills Road Vi form college. There's little in the way of road markings here, and those that are supposed to be present, such as the cycle lane in the foreground have all but di ... [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNxv2hY6it8 The entrance to this cycle path is very limited and requires great care when coming onto and off the road. I need to cycle into the middle of the road to be able to take the corner, ... [more]
Narrow sidewalk leads to overflow pedestrians endangering cyclists. Previous to fencing in this area was relatively open car parking (Peugeot) which took some pressure from the sidewalk
Castle Street Hinckley, one-way and apparently 'NO CYCLING' according to this non-standard and hence probably invalid sign.
No entry except cycles, except without the "except cycles" plates. Just road markings indicate the cycle contraflow. See also #35219
No entry except cycles, except without the "except cycles" plates. Just road markings indicate the cycle contraflow. Cyclists must turn right at second junction as Ardconnel Terrace on left is proper one-way. See also #35218
New 'Cyclists proceed with caution' pavement "sign" at the end of the Crouch Street East cycle lane. There is a lot to take in at this junction, and nothing bar this "sign" to aid the cyclist, or prompt them as to where hazards may be: ... [more]
A bike ride from Chippenham to Calne. The spell checker suggested 'Calmer' for Calne. We found it anything but, dominated by this very busy road with heavy goods vehicles.
A bike ride from Chippenham to Calne. After the tranquility of the cycle route suddenly a very busy road in the middle of Calne. This pavement gets narrower and narrower towards the bridge and this part of the town is totally dominate ... [more]
A large bike symbol in the middle of the lane, as used on St Johns Street (see #29969), would be far more appropriate than a small one as is the case here on Crouch St. With parking bays on the right leaving only a limited space, cyclist ... [more]
Small bike symbol on Crouch St suggesting cyclists make a sweep right across the road into the underpass. For cyclists to make this right turn, they should previously have been in a far more dominant, central road position and not make the ... [more]
Small bike symbols on Crouch St, suggesting a desire line for cyclists, and to motorists, where they should be riding. For cyclists to make a right turn into the underpass as is suggested (see #34314) they should be in a far more dominan ... [more]
Spot the through route for cycles! No Through Road without "except cycles" plates, poor signage of cycle bypasses to Fire Path road closure. Colleges Cycle Route on West Princes Street.
The road narrowing here is being used as a car park and the cycle lane through that is obviously not working. Lessons to learn here!
Upstand on raised crossing at entrance to Bellahouston Drive on Paisley Road West. Typical of many similar structures installed as part of the Route Action Plan programme.
Out of the country cycleway and back onto the road - an cars routinely parked across the pavement.
Narrow door-zone cycle lanes on Kilmarnock Road. Cyclists cycling outside of the cycle lanes get extra hassle from passing motorists. Layby isn't even wide enough for normal-sized cars to park in!
Unmarked line-segregated footway cycle route on New Rutherglen Road, approaching Polmadie Road junction. Anonymous on-road cycle lane to ASL for cyclists going straight on, outside of left-turn lane for motorists.
End of EERR cycle route, cyclists to rejoin main carriageway. Ramp down to NCN 75 is at toucan crossing (see #31368), NCN 756 starts on far side of Rutherglen Bridge (see #31369).
The junction of Creffield Rd and Maldon Rd is crying out for a cyclists exemption from the No Entry.
Vehicle stalled by parked delivery van. Even pedestrians and this cyclist had difficult passing.
Logistics at worst. This photo was taken the day before even longer trailers were permitted. How come we have a system that allows this, but bans southbound bikes here?
Not all junctions in the Netherlands are as safe as they could be. Even on a pushbike, it would be difficult to see through the hedge to the right - the light brown building sticks out further than it should, making seeing oncoming trams di ... [more]
Deep sloping gutter, massive high kerb. Why? just round the corner on the busway access is exemplary low kerb with drainage into the length of the kerb-stones.
Toucan crossing across London Road installed early 2011 still remains to be brought into use. Car parking still marked in bus lane, including through the zig-zags. Phone box restricts view from one side of crossing.
Road closure between Alexandra Court and Townmill Road, with short flight of steps next to wall. Allowing cyclists through this and other closures would create route parallel to Alexandra Parade (see also #33360 & #33361).
Road closure of Alexandra Court. Allowing cyclists through this and other closures would create route parallel to Alexandra Parade (see also #33360 & #33362).
Road closure at Alexandra Park Street opposite Coventry Drive. Reopening this and other closures to cycles could help cyclists going between Royal Infirmary and Alexandra Park (see also #33361 & #33362).
Road closure of Gadie Street at Provan Road, opposite Alexandra Park. This could be part of a cycle route to the park from Carntyne and Cranhill, via Warriston Street and Dee Street. Dropped kerbs needed.
A two way cycle route on the left, and a one way bus lane on the right. Buses enter this lane at speed from a 40mph dual carriageway. Cyclists heading towards the camera are supposed to ride near the white line, close to and unsegregated fr ... [more]
Cyclists regularly cycle on the pavement here. This is the sensible and safe option it should be legalised. Also the lights on the road from the car park don't respond to a cyclist's presence. A left turn out should be permitted via a cycle ... [more]
These guard rails leave no where for a cyclist to go should there be an incident on the road.
Bell School development: where the entrance road should be but which the planners failed to require
Bell School development proposed entrance - clearly unsuitable space for a major development
Bell School development proposed entrance - clearly unsuitable space for a major development
A single no-entry sign guards this one-way street in Truro. (Two are required by law.)
It's not at all clear, but cyclists should use the shared-use footway to the left rather than crossing next to the car trap to reach the cycleway.
Cyclists are supposed to use the shared-use footway to the left to reach the cycleway, but some will want to pass next to the car traps here.
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwL-YgqTh08 Another example of the issues of traffic flow along Bateman Street. Coming to the end of Eligius Passage, I need to turn into Bateman Street. Notice the parked car directly oppos ... [more]
Give way markings are the wrong way round - a blind corner has now been re-created further up the road here!
the London Car Park Route 27 now the Bromley have added a load of car parking along Ravensbourne Avenue.
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEMOdj6q20k A few years back this track was covered in a small thicket with a 1-2m wide track through the middle of it. Fine for riding and walking. Then, someone cut all the trees down, pro ... [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJu2MHp6qTs The pedestrian crossing on Hills Road, just before the railway bridge has some incredibly long waiting times. Because it takes so long, pedestrians cross early at the first gap. ... [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoddpTGNayk I've shown the failings in this path, at the end of Church Lane in Trumpington, several times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4m25-ElLAA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG6kZNF ... [more]

NCN 74 leaves road here to use Bothwell Nature Trail path, but there is no dropped kerb to allow cyclists up onto the footway.
Cars (wanting to turn left into Union Lane) frequently block the bus & cycle lane on Milton Road. One of many reasons why Union Lane should be turned into a cul-de-sac (like Chesterton Hall Crescent).
If you want to go straight on here, turn left, do a youey (a u turn) and then turn left. No attempt here made to cater for the cyclist and pedestrians are boxed in and controlled to give way to the mighty motor vehicle.
A mysterious safety zone with incomprehensible road markings here. What is that white dashed line along the left side of the road, is it a parking area, or is it a cycle lane (less likely) ? I say mysterious because everywhere on the roa ... [more]
Cramped central island on new toucan crossing on Anderston Quay (Connect2 route from Kelvingrove Park)
Gully installed the wrong way round in Glasgow City Council's "Copenhagan-style" London Road cycle track. The slots should go across-the-ways so skinny tyres don't get stuck.
Adding narrow cycle lanes to a busy and fast road does not make it safe to cycle! (50mph limit inter-urban road)
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taEZuQdE4k4 This is always a trying time on a bicycle. The road to the right of me has straight on and left as roundabout options. You'd have thought most people would remember that they should ... [more]
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI32dG973ao The new junction between Trumpington Road and Long Road has no Advance Stop Line for cycles turning right. Clearly all bikes should be like lowly pedestrians and get out of the way ... [more]
Standard pedestrian crossing between Singleton Park and the Swansea Bay Cycle Path - Toucan cycle crossing required!
Kerb on the new Riverside/Abbey Road works (Priory Street end). The photo doesn't show the height very well but it has the potential to be rather sharp if hit by a falling cyclist.
Its not uncommon to find people walking along the middle of the road in these streets, where parked vehicles, bins and street furntiure heed progress on the pavement.
No Entry. A short prohibition of entry that could easily be provided with an exemption for cyclists wanting to join Sauchiehall Street at Charing Cross.
Where to stop? The Charing Cross Advance Stop Line dilemma for cyclists in Woodlands Road.
I find this section of road rather uncomfortable to ride because its a busy road and feels very closed in, and the corner ahead is a bit blind.
Contraflow cycle lane on Howard Street signed with both One Way and Contraflow Cycle Lane signs. The One Way sign is easier to see, so motorists might get confused if confronted with cyclist coming the other way.
St George's Road, Charing Cross, Glasgow. If you were marking this Advance Stop Line out of ten, how many marks would you give it?
Cyclists must stick to the road here, rather than the path alongside - unusual in Switzerland.
Roadmarking on cycleway beside the A10 near Hauxton. Do cyclists really have to give way at this private driveway?
Just weeks after repairing the potholes on Summerfield, the council has decided to totally resurface this very minor dead-end street. The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing?
Bishops Road in Peterborough, right behind the cathedral, between the Lido and the indoor Pool and athletics arena. In Peterborough cycle provision seems poor and cycling on the footway widespread, I observed about three times as many cycli ... [more]
Narrow door-zone cycle lanes on A77 Kilmarnock Road. Photo also shows typical standard of road maintenance in 2011 Glasgow.
The road crossing point on the far side is so far round the corner into the side road that when you're standing there it is very difficult to see the fast traffic turning there. Horrible!
