Excessive hi viz and lights but why aren’t they working asks Jeremy Vine: https://twitter.com/thejeremyvine/status/1640415122966323201?s=46&t=e9UMi9e1awWS8DPtaVyqlQ
The badly placed lamppost referred to in #176480 causes users to end up crossing the tactile paving on a diagonal course, due to the poor planning of the cycleway alignment.
Having started with a clean slate, it is disappointing to see such a misalignment at the end of the West Street cycleway. The badly placed lamppost forces users to choose between going one side or the other, one of which means that they … [more]

[Image taken 13.11.21] Railway Walk, Marygate car park, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] The hoardings are around the compound connected with the Museum Gardens flood defence works … [more]
[Image taken 13.11.21] St Mary's from Marygate car park, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] Context and links: #175871.
[Image taken 13.11.21] Railway Walk, Marygate car park, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] This lamp on St Mary's is one of the two sources of light near: #175869 and #175870. But it does not reach that junction. Other images … [more]
[Image taken 13.11.21] Railway Walk, Marygate car park, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] Context see: #175869, and links.
[Image taken 13.11.21] Railway Walk, Marygate car park, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] This junction – used by people on foot, on cycles, on scooters, in wheelchairs - is unlit after dark. It is very narrow and hugely … [more]
Work on the path through Yorkhill Park appears to be incomplete. While work on the wall appears to have been completed to a high standard, the path is missing its top surface, and the lighting columns have been placed within the width of … [more]
Still no raised crossing or dropped kerb to join the Benalder Street cycle track, which otherwise appears nearly complete, apart from the lamppost. UPDATE: These issues have now been resolved, see #175144.
[Image taken 28.7.21] Marygate car park, York. [Note: No street view at this location.] Puddling blocks route for all users. Plus, despite the dark spells during storms, the lighting was not on. Other images this issue here today: #172629 … [more]
[Image taken 27.7.21] Marygate car park, York. (Note: no streetview at this location.) There are light fittings along half of the hoardings only. They were on today but they don’t throw out much light. During 2020 this route was vibrant, … [more]
[Image taken 10.7.21] Marygate car park, York. [Note: There is no street view at this location.] The lighting was not on, on the hoardings again today. For once I was able to get an image that shows how dark it is. (The lights don't … [more]
[Image taken 4.7.21] Marygate car park, York. This was a very bright morning. The route - now effectively a tunnel due to the hoardings and the greenery from the rail line - was darker than it looks in this image. (My camera adds in light.) … [more]
Update see: #172507 [image taken 3.7.21] Marygate car park. One of the two original barricades (see: #169993) has been moved back to the car park side of the fencing. But who moves these and why? It seems they shouldn't be here at all: … [more]
[Image taken 1.6.21] Marygate car park, York. Solar powered lighting is now in place over notices. I've marked it good practice because this is in response to complaints about the lack of lighting, information about what's happening here, … [more]
A broken lighting column on the path between Station Road and Conon Avenue. As is commonly the case, the lighting columns have been placed in the width of the path and not to the side, causing local narrowings of an already not particularly … [more]
[Image taken 24.5.21] Marygate car park. The hoardings not only make the area oppressive and unsafe-feeling (a reminder of the bad old days of the previous Scarborough Bridge: #169478) but they also block the little light left. (There was … [more]
Toucan crossings all around the junction, but are any of the footways actually legal to cycle on? In any case, that street lighting column is blocking the footway.
[Image taken 6.4.21] Lidl, James Street, York. Space (82cm) in front of the racks accommodates standard cycles easily. The racks are under cover, well lit and with lots of natural surveillance. See also: Asda Harrogate (good practice): … [more]
[Image taken 24.3.21] Lighting at route between Scarborough Bridge, York and Leeman Road passing the Royal Mail premises. This is a signposted and step-free route to the National Railway Museum [https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/]. I would … [more]
[Image taken 24.3.21] Lighting at Esplanade carpark, York proposed route of diversion when floodgates (see: #166177) are replaced under Lendal Bridge. See also: #166256, #166180
[Image taken 24.3.21] Lighting at Esplanade carpark, York. Part of a route (used by tourers on the Transpennine and NCN65) proposed as a diversion from the riverside which will close for the summer from 1 April 2021. See also: #166257, … [more]
Although the lighting has been replaced in recent years, the path from the bus stop on Queensway to Tennant Avenue (and onwards to Hairmyres Hospital) is narrow, has poor quality paving, and has no dropped kerbs at its crossing with Linwood … [more]
A slightly wider path next to Greenhills Primary School, although the lampposts have been planted within the width of the path, making it effectively slightly narrower.
The path towards Slamannan Road and Falkirk High station, with lighting columns placed so they do not obstruct the path.
The Wester Way alongside Phase 4 of the Bishopbriggs Relief Road. The lampposts have been planted in the path rather than alongside it (as has been done on the adjacent road), but other than this, it is built to a reasonable standard, and … [more]
Direction signs at the access from Bracken Avenue, but why this obsession with "End of Cycle Route" signs in this town? The path doesn't end until it reaches the road in any case. Also, the signs on one side are lit, and those on the side … [more]
The Bredisholm Road connection to the housing estate is build to a high quality, and is lit, although the path alongside the motorway is only lit by spill from the motorway lighting.
Plenty of tyre tracks in the frost, and the lamppost (previously in the middle of the path as seen in #86772) has been relocated to the edge.
Close up of paving light. This one is, obviously, not working but it does mean you can see how small they are. (LED bulb?) See also #95284
These would need to be viewed in the dark but these small lights seem to be quite effective, but subtle. An idea for more rural locations, perhaps?
Where are all the bussists? Newly built disused bus stops on the Cathkin Relief Road, because the bus company quite sensibly decided it would rather continue running its buses along Fernhill Road. But still no excuse for the lighting … [more]
The path from Holytown to Eurocentral would be even better if the lampposts had been placed outside the width of the path. As it is they create an unnecessary narrowing at each post.
Poorly maintained paving and lighting on ramp between Palace Grounds and Castle Street. This stuff isn't cheap to install, so why let it go to waste?
NCN1 forks right here, but only indicated by stickers on the lamppost. The path ahead leads towards the main railway station, so could be widened to match the NCN1 path.
Route sign for lit route to town centre. The path over the bridge is lit, but not the route through Castle Park or the riverside walk.
New straight and lit cyclepath replacing steps outside the Sheriff Court. The old path next to the river has been retained for pedestrians.
A section of the A77 cycleway being upgraded. Unfortunately the newly installed lighting columns now obstruct the path. With some forward planning, they could have been placed nearer the fence, out of the way of the cycleway.

Solar powered LED and reflective edge of cycleway stud. It is used here to mark the way across a level crossing, but could be used much more widely to mark the edges of unlit cycleways. UPDATE 2020: These have now been removed for some … [more]
Path alongside section of the Forth & Clyde Canal between The Kelpies and where the canal now exits into the River Carron. This path leads to NCN76, is lit with LED catseyes, and is seen passing beneath the M9 motorway.
Lamppost partially blocking dropped kerb forming part of cycle route whose signs are fixed to said lamppost.
Not really designed as a cycle route. Ramp to underpass beneath Blackthorn Road, with obstructive lighting columns.
A narrow path made narrower by the lighting columns being planted in the path. This is a signed cycle path.
New lighting has been installed along the riverside path, but the lampposts have been planted in the path, obstructing it. It's 2015!
The trial of lights on the central section of the Lammas Land path has evidently been a success and they've been extended to the full length of the path.

The tramway cycle path shares a flyover with the actual tramway. If only this happened at the road crossings further west! It would have been even better if they'd not mounted the lighting columns within the width of the path.
Trial of new lighting on Parker's Piece, looking back towards Parkside. The white light near the top of the photo is the new tall lamp standard. The white thing in the foreground is the sign explaining the trial.
Trial of new lighting on Parker's Piece. Looking towards Reality Checkpoint. The silver bollard in the foreground sinks into the ground during the day but has already stopped casting light!
New lighting being trialled on Parker's Piece. Looking towards Reality Checkpoint - the horizontal band of lights. In the foreground is the new tall lamp standard, further away the waist-high bollards.
Trial of lighting on Parker's Piece, looking towards the Catholic Church. The three lights to the right of the photo are Reality Checkpoint. The white one high up is the tall lamp standard installed as part of the trial.
This is the rising bollard light being trialled for four weeks on Parker's Piece. It looks like a trip hazard to me, not just for bikes.
Everyday cycling cyclists on the guided bus maintenance track in Kings Hedges. The lack of lighting on this dark route in an urban area is a show of the Cambridgeshire County Council's disregard for people cycling to work or place of study.
A752 footway widened to make it shared-use for NCN75, then narrowed by having new streetlighting poles installed within the width of the footway. Shared use sign has at least been installed in the grass, outside of the footway. No buffer … [more]
Sign announcing that these street lights are now turned off, apparently to help Leicestershire reduce its carbon footprint.
