Horribly narrow advisory cycle lanes in Great North Road at a pinch point. Taken from a rail replacement bus service.
[Image taken 25.1.23] Outside St Luke's church, Burton Stone Lane, junction wiith Shipton Street, York. Centreline tarmac damage at a road narrowing. That infra requires people on cycles to move out into the carriageway. Cyclists ought to … [more]
The most dangerous thing about cycling has to be an abrupt end to a cycle lane where you literally have nowhere to go except up on a high curb. This is on Thomas Hynes Road, Newcastle. Imagine if a car lane ended like that! @GalwayCycling … [more]
Pinch Point and Close-Pass on a video in a tweet https://twitter.com/pedalestrian/status/1527226011007557633?s=20&t=zCw0W-AioHsbcbi0XvAAGQ Island is marked at: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9265015739
BBC news website: NHS worker scared of cycling around Sheffield A nurse from Sheffield says she is terrified that she is going to be knocked down by a car when she cycles to work. Ann Gregory uses a helmet camera to document the numbers … [more]
A faded cycle lane on Broomfield Road, at a pinch-point. It also leads into a chain of potholes at the bus stop.
Here in London the @MetCC are unable to prosecute this sort of thing because of the paint line. My response is then to ride right of that paint line because this is negligent and dangerous infrastructure by @LBRUT. [Dangerously narrow … [more]
Poor drainage on Huntingdon Road. Reported at: https://highwaysreporting.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/ reference: 00354582 Update: I was a bit surprised to get a reply from them on 2 June 2021 (i.e. more than five months later) to say: "We are … [more]
Instead of slowing as intended drivers pass, going into the hatching before and after the pinch-point, and late braking.
The doorzone pop-up cycle lane returns to the kerbside in Bilsland Drive, but the car parking continues towards the pinchpoint.
Two cheers for @LeicsCountyHall for removing this pedestrian refuge on the A47 at the outskirts of LFE. Was a real sphincter-tightener as it marked change from NSL to 40. Complained years back, but basically told to man up! So, thanks, but … [more]
No attempt to resolve conflict at the Kingsgate Retail Park bus stop on NCN756. No option to go around the back of the shelter as in #107619.
A crossing in Croyde that looks a bit like a zebra but definitely isn't and is more like a pinch point.
The Calderwood Road shared footway, with a bus shop, footway parking, and a pinch-point crossing on the road across to a school.
Dangerous pinch-points for cycling in Great Chesterford. I had a very nasty experience riding along here sometime around the year 2009. Approaching the pinch point I decided to take the lane to make sure the lorry behind me was not going … [more]
A cyclist riding in the CENTRE OF THE LANE isn’t trying to get in a driver's way – they’re showing it’s NOT SAFE TO OVERTAKE at that point. #OperationClosePass is working to help drivers and cyclists to better understand each other and … [more]
So @WhittlesfordPC third "traffic calming" measure has no attempt at cycle safety lane. What a joke. If it weren't an accident trap. @CambsCC @camcycle @Chisholm4Trail https://t.co/4K23cnoDry
@mark_birdy @UKCycleChat @MetCC Holy shit! https://t.co/S344nJ2hUt Close pass, main tweet: https://twitter.com/mark_birdy/status/1065184821922725890
The HArTT cycle route turns left from Sandy Loan onto Polmont Road, then turns right onto a path (at the sign post) where there isn't even a dropped kerb! No help crossing this busy road. See #103068 for the view in the other direction. I … [more]
A shared-use path starts on the left, to avoid the junction ahead, although NCN76 appears not to use it and instead turns at the junction, then turns again onto the next section of the same path. The dropped kerb is also far from flush, … [more]
A painted cycle lane has been provided through the traffic calming pinch-point, but only in one direction.
Pinch-point traffic-calming on North Road, Bellshill. The dropped kerbs don't appear to have been thought through to create a half decent crossing for pedestrians.
What the what? https://t.co/o1GbwjUe5P (Simon's note: This is the first time I found the location via Mapillary https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=55.94563055555557&lng=-3.039144444444446&z=17&pKey=GGpv7fbYslC3BpndWg5WnA&focus=photo rather … [more]
A new pinch-point in Oswald St to look out for cycling, which is also successful in trapping buses in the bus stop. And useless Advance Stop Line.
Central island complete with cattle pens and a long stagger for pedestrians creates a long pinch point for cyclists.
Had to stop today & photograph my favorite cycle lane on the way into Brighton https://t.co/pTrJq5egTw
Despite the painted cycle lane having finished on the approach to the pinch-point, these cyclists haven't reached their destination, so need to bravely carry on where the cycle lane does not go!
Priority facing the chicane. This is a 60 mph road and there is no footway here. On a bike coming through here how can I trust that oncoming traffic will give me right of way at this pinch point? They have to make a judgment to wait for me … [more]
Road widened for the central island - rather defeating the whole point of these things which I think are presumably to regulate the speed.
This is a perfect example of a road-narrowing to slow down motor traffic that allows easy and safe passage for cycle users.
Half width cycle lane prevents cyclists from adopting a safe position through this narrow pinch point.
Disturbing story about a cyclist knocked off and abused from the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2013/aug/08/nottingham-police-cyclist-video I notice this incident happened on this A road where there are central … [more]
See clip at http://youtu.be/Rb5Pz_J-o4o At this pinch point there's a side lane for people cycling. This taxi driver decides that it's a parking space and blocks it completely. In the usual fashion there's a space to stop off-road and … [more]
The brand new erm... Dunno. Along both sides of Little Glen Road, the council have painted bikes on the road and then put in road narrowing Bollards. The only thing I can see happening is a cyclist getting hit going round one of these.
Pinch point on Grange Road between Selwyn Gardens and Champneys Walk. Grange Road has MSL through the pinch point, but otherwise ASLs on the stretch south of Sidgwick Avenue.
Build out on Old Park Road, built 2009, creates a nasty pinch point. Cyclists get squeezed by drivers who are reluctant to pull across into the right hand lane.
