Continuous pavement design recently installed in Norwich.

This collision was recorded as 'serious', but the cyclist died after two and a half months in hospital (Addenbrooke's):

It would be good to have a cycle-friendly crossing here for access from the north to Norwich station (not just the roundabout official route to the south).
This is the obvious route into Norwich station, not the roundabout official one.

Link to the cathedral close, Norwich
One arrow ahead and one to the right - according to OpenCycleMap cyclists should go to the right then either turn sharp left to the cathedral close, or keep right towards Norwich station - but you can go straight ahead and use the footway

Typical - rather than just 'End of Cycleway' there should be a cycleway arrow to the right.
Start of riverside route, Norwich
There should really be a cycleway here between Norwich station and the river

This was a controversial contraflow because car parking should really have been removed to make spece - but it seems to be working well, with drivers and cyclists being considerate.

It's a shame that the side road still has to give way to the non-existent motor traffic from the bridge.

Was that meant to be a cycleway?
Confused signage - there was meant to be a two-way cycleway on the near side of the road, but then Norfolk highways department realised there had to be more space for buses, so the on-road cycle lane was left on the far side of the road.
