[Image taken 29.11.21] Burton Stone Lane, approaching Crichton Avenue, York. Three of the roads from which road users turn into Burton Stone Lane, and at speed as apart from the right turn off Crichton Ave, there is no space to wait for the route to become clear. This makes crossing in the direction of the arrow in the cycle lane on a cycle fraught. It is no better for people on foot or in wheelchairs. Crichton Ave is a key commuting, school, leisure and food shopping route for people on cycles, in mobility scooters and on foot as it leads to/from the Foss Islands Path and is part of the Orbital cycle route. It feels as if it's got busier and more difficult to cross due to an increase in vehicles and speeds here this year. Note also the number of cycle signs: clutter and confusion.
