Cyclists eastbound on NCN route 3 are supposed to join the former A30 here - but it'd be far better to avoid the roundabout by keeping to the left of the railway viaduct here.
Dropped kerb for cyclists westbound on NCN route 3, and End of Route sign eastbound - cyclists need to cross the road.

Amazing - the only access to the shared-use footway at the A30 roundabout is through McDonald's. I wonder who funded it?
The short and pretty pointless stretch of shared-use footway by the A30 roundabout leads only to McDonald's! Not even a link to take cyclists off the old A30 here. I wonder who paid for this?
Anyone would think this was a proper cycleway around the A30 roundabout.
