The usual on Bateman Street, with contraflow cyclists forced into the path of oncoming motor traffic. Please can we have a physical barrier?
Builders exercising their ancestral right to block the contraflow cycle lane. That's quite a long way for cyclists to ride into oncoming motor traffic.
Signs like this mean 'We know there's a need for cycle parking here, but we're not going to do anything about it'.
Two motor vehicles blocking the contraflow cycle lane - in both cases there was a space free on the legal side of the road.
Van blocking the contraflow cycle lane on Bateman Street, with plenty of space across the road - they were unloading a mattress.
This is going to be great - every motor vehicle will encroach on the contraflow cycle lane. It may be better to use the next road north (also contraflow).
The planters have been replaced by more bollards - no doubt it was easier to give alternative routes than to fix the flooding.
It's time to resurface this section of the contraflow cycle lane - most cyclists prefer to swerve onto the carriageway to avoid it.
Double trouble on Bateman Street, with a cyclist approaching in the contraflow cycle lane, about to move out in the face of oncoming motor vehicles. Will we ever have wands or other segregation here?
Roadworks on Bateman St - Norwich St, immediately north, is temporarily open for two-way car traffic.
The speed cushions in the middle of Bateman St have been replaced by partial-width cushions, much easier for both cars and bikes. The three to the east are full-width.
The three speed cushions at the east end of Bateman St have been replaced by gentler full-width cushions.
The three speed cushions at the east end of Bateman St have been replaced by gentler full-width cushions. Did they also repair the potholes caused by drivers braking for the previous cushions? No, of course not.
The contraflow cycle lane has been kept open through the roadworks - the awful speed humps on Bateman Street are finally being replaced.
Cambridgeshire highways department strikes again! The road is closed to motor vehicles in this direction anyway. And the contraflow cycle lane has been kept open through the roadworks. So these signs are nonsense and can be ignored.
The three collapsing speed humps at the eastern end of Bateman Street have been removed - with luck, something better might appear soon.
Closed for motor vehicles - but Cambridgeshire highways department can't understand the distinction.
Modal filter with semi-permanent winter puddle - would it be better with cyclists passing to the sides?
If you want to close a road except to cyclists, it seems rather counter-intuitive to put the concrete blocks right in the cycle lane. Maybe the permanent fixtures will give a clearer message.
I don't know if it's connected to Covid-19, but this cycle parking area at St Mary's School has been cleared out.
The county council doesn't have the money to fix this broken-up road, but the city council clearly has money for a bit of beautification. Only in disfunctional Britain!
The ongoing struggle to stop commuters and language students from using workplace cycle parking (NB at 19.30).
Footway Ahead Closed - what about the cyclists forced out of the contraflow lane into oncoming traffic?
I think this taxi driver genuinely thought he could drive down Bateman St (contraflow cycling only from this point). So much for local knowledge.
Three motor vehicles blocking the contraflow cycle lane on Bateman Street - why is there never any enforcement here?
Van blocking contraflow cycle lane on Bateman Street. A daily occurrence for much of the year - certainly this last week, and most summers from July to October. There are, of course, parking spaces marked and vacant just across the road, … [more]
Building maintenance vehicle blocking the contraflow cycle lane, as so often (this is not why the cyclist is on the footway though).

Cambridge Assessment seem to think it makes sense for cyclists not to use the main gate to the car park at their new (presumably temporary) offices but to dismount and walk through a narrow alley instead.
Cambridge Assessment seem to think it makes sense for cyclists not to use this huge gap at their new (presumably temporary) offices but to dismount and walk through a narrow alley instead.
Trinity Hall van illegally blocking the contraflow cycle lane and forcing cyclists into oncoming traffic. Is it so hard to remember the law, Do Not Cross Solid White Lines??
Yet again, a St Andrews Bureau property management van blocking the Bateman St contraflow lane and forcing cyclists into the path of oncoming traffic.
Of course the traffic cones make it entirely legal and acceptable to block both the footway and the contraflow cycle lane, while scrupulously leaving the carriageway clear for motor vehicles.
Doing an excellent job of blocking the contraflow cycle lane. It won't stop until there's a solid barrier between the road and the cycle lane.
Will SAB ever stop blocking the contraflow lane and forcing cyclists into the path of oncoming vehicles?
Cyclists forced out of the contraflow lane and into the path of oncoming traffic by a particularly badly parked car.
Three cars (with drivers) waiting in the cycle lane - not mandatory or contraflow here, but still annoying.
A local property management company really should know better than to cross the solid white line into a contraflow cycle lane.
Cyclists in the contraflow lane are told to dismount and use the footway - but there's also an arrow directing traffic around the sewer works! Of course the ideal would have been to route cars via Norfolk St and leave Bateman St open for … [more]
A tight turn at sewer repairs on Bateman St - no warning that cyclists might be coming the other way.

Cyclists forced into path of oncoming traffic by builders parked in the mandatory contraflow cycle lane.
Newly resurfaced lane on Bateman Street - excellent, but the drains are clearly still not where the puddles form.
