Start of Fitch Way cycleway

Approaching Green Man Public House, Left turn would take you to NCN1 Eastbound. Sign only shows NCN16 South

Cut Throat Lane, entrance eastbound

Cut Throat Lane, Level crossing

Motts lane, OK for road bikes, but avoid holes, rubbish and loose surface

Approaching NCN 16 cycle route Northbound

Rollerblading on the Eastern Esplanade cycle track, and a speed camera.

A jug-handle to help cyclists get from the eastbound roadway to the seafront cycle track.

The road is signposted as being "share space", but it looked little different from an ordinary busy road. At least the 20mph speed limit had camera enforcement.

The Western Esplanade cycle track, close to the doorzone, and with no provision at the bus stop.

The end of the 20mph speed limit on Western Esplanade, just short of the start of the cycle track.

There is a lift near the pier between the Western Esplanade/Marine Parade and the end of the High Street. There is also a hair-pin path behind the lift which one person cycled up while I was there. Also visible are the 20mph speed limit … [more]

The contraflow cycle lane on Pier Hill has an odd traffic island arrangement at the foot.

A bus stop next to the cycleway on Eastern Esplanade, Southend.
