Wemborough Road, a 30mph road with narrow cycle lanes and traffic islands, and parked cars in some places. It is marked as a cycle route, but is not a good cycling environment. It requires removal of traffic islands, 20mph speed limit, and parking to be moved out of the cycle lane (or a segregated cycle path between parking and the footway).
This photo shows a short ~150m stretch of road which cyclists need to use to get from Belmont Lane (a very quiet road, suitable for cycling) to Honister Gardens (another very quiet road, which leads to the Belmont trail, part of the proposed Stanmore to the Thames cycle route). Eastbound cyclists need to make two right turns here.
A short stretch of shared footway or a cycle path on the verge would eliminate the need for this manoeuvre.
