Future pathway of some kind at Eddington
A new stretch of segregated cycleway at Eddington
Presumably there should be a '100 metres ahead' plate - otherwise access to the Sainsburys parking places would be illegal Mon-Fri 7am-7pm.
Hi @TrinCollCam your colleagues at @CambridgeSust have retrofitted the correct priority onto the side streets in Eddington. Please could you do the same for @CamSciencePark? https://t.co/3BwzZdK45m
Traffic calming and protection for pedestrians, presumably.
Amazing - Dr Bike comes by car....
Four separate sets of cycle stands in view, plus indoor cycle parking to the right - pretty good provision!
Cycle stands outside the new aparthotel, Eddington
No visible cycle parking at the new Hyatt hotel in Eddington.
Presumably this is the cycle parking for the new Eddington hotel

Crossing and cycleway sign, Eddington
Ridiculous amount of signage as the cycleway constantly flickers between shared-use and segregated.

Shared space, by the look of it, in the new Knights Park development at Eddington
The new Knights Park development at Eddington - every house has a garage, so I assume the cycle parking is hidden inside.
Signs already in place for future shared-use paths.

Not just a footway. Another phase of development at Eddington.
Short gap in the segregated cycleway, to the far side of the hedgeline - it's a bit pointless.

We ought to be grateful for the gritting, but it's not right to see a truck driving along the cycleways in Eddington scattering salt. A much smaller vehicle should be used. Cycleways are not for motor traffic of any kind in my view!

Bollards on Garrod St, Eddington, and a couple of Sheffield stands
The Ridgeway swings right here, but the main route ahead is named Garrod St from here.
The location of this crossing makes a bit more sense now there's a good route straight into Eddington, but there still needs to be a crossing at the main Eddington Avenue junction.
Decent cycle parking at the Storey's Way Centre
Nonsense sign at the exit from Eddington - there are shared-use routes left and right beside Madingley Road and also on the far side into the university's West Cambridge site.

Buses often wait here, impeding the Ridgeway cycle crossing - but this bus has stopped well clear, in fact it had to reverse to get moving again.

Signs in place well before the junction can open.

All signed up and nowhere to go (yet)

Apparently a crossing here would make the right-turn lane too short so motor traffic into Cambridge would be held up. Oh dear what a shame that would be.
Cyclists are meant to join the carriageway here, just where Huntingdon Road narrows and cars cut into the cycle lane.
The nearest crossing to the Eddington Avenue junction.

No motor vehicles as a rule - but there's still a reminder to look out for cyclists and joggers
Diversion via footpath (perfectly fine for cycling)
This may be a new segregated link.
#Eddington #cyclepath signage overkill. This, whilst attempting to be very accurate, looks quite silly and does create a poor visual experience. https://t.co/zNlV9S7EPs
Alternating shared-use and segregated cycleway signs - needless legalistic confusion.
Access to residential blocks, Eddington
Sign for short shared-use section on segregated cyclway - needless confusion.

It don't know if this is as planned, but there is no crossing of the Huntingdon Road at the Eddington junction - cyclists from Girton to Eddington have to use the right-turn traffic lane, and I've no idea what pedestrians are meant to do.
More recently the county has painted a left-turn arrow in the left-turn lane, and it looks like they are adding ASLs to the junction.
This is still, however, a terribly dangerous junction design because it tells people cycling that they
No Cycling sign on this side of the road entering Eddington - on the other side is a shared-use sign.

There are still lots of hoardings up along and across the shared-use paths around the Eddington site
There's a lot of cycle parking near the University of Cambridge Primary School (Eddington), and a big covered area too.

I think the bus stop here is designed to hold up traffic by being only one lane wide, in an attempt to prevent this new development from becoming a 'rat-run'.
The Madingley Road access to Eddington has been designed for high volumes of fastish motor traffic, but to be fair, the road then narrows and curves, with a central reservation, to reduce speeds.
Cycle symbol in the left lane but no ASL so cyclists going ahead or right are in conflict with left-turning vehicles.
A plethora of signs in Eddington - whenever pedestrians might cross the cycletrack the signage changes from 'segregated shared use' to 'unsegregated shared use' and then back again. There must be a simpler way - very few people will know or

Quite a bit of cycle parking near Market Square, Eddington (also across the road in the distance).

Road closure (7am-7pm) with rising bollards, not yet in use (will they ever work?), at the new Eddington Sainsbury.
There's quite a bit of cycle parking at the new Eddington Sainsbury - unfortunately the entrance is around the corner to the right, and not as shown on the sign to the left of the photo.
Sadly the cycle signs in the new #Eddington development in #Cambridge continue the tradition of being confusing. https://t.co/oLxmdJlfW1
Nice greenery around the site.
