Pointless barriers on the cycleway from Great Kneighton to Hauxton Road - the road is a quiet dead-end, and could easily give way to this useful cycle route.

Another pointless sign - there's no reason for the cycleway not to continue to the end of the road.

End of about 100m of footway/cycleway, just to bypass the traffic lights and probably tick some box.

Start of about 100m of footway/cycleway, just to bypass the traffic lights and probably tick some box.

Not quite a crossing to nowhere, but the footway/cycleway on the far side is about 100m long.

Big barriers to keep cyclists from going down steps - but why on earth did they build steps here in the middle of nowhere?

Gates wide open on a Sunday morning, but no pedestrians or cyclists allowed on this construction access.

Total incompetence - how hard could it have been to link the two cycleways? [done by May 2021]

Cycle parking and park - there's a small No Cycling sign just to the right.

The traffic lights default to green for the road and red for the busway - they seem to have totally forgotten about the cycleway!

Ridiculous 'Cyclists dismount and use footway' sign. Meanwhile, the works are preparing to narrow the shared-use path in order to create yet another traffic lane! It's like I stepped into a time machine and ended up back in the 20th … [more]

Rollercoaster footways, undulating up and down. They had complete freedom of design and lots of space, and yet they managed to build the footway in the worst possible way!
