And suddenly with nothing changed (and no tactile paving fitted) the crossing that was unusable for at least 5 months seems to be open - see #193996
What on earth is going on here? Or rather not going on - this zebra crossing has been closed for about 5 months, maybe because some tactile paving is missing.
This new zebra crossing has been out of use for over a month now - it looks as if they forgot the tactile paving on this side (the far side is ok).
This new zebra crossing has been out of use for at least 20 days now - but of course people are crossing anyway.

There have been some repairs to the disaster that is Station Road in Cambridge - it remains to be seen how well they last.
There have been some repairs to the disaster that is Station Road in Cambridge - it remains to be seen how well they last.
Advanced cycle lights have appeared at the Station Rd/Hills Road junction - with a surprisingly long period before the main light turns green.
Two or three holes on Station Road have been marked in yellow for repair - which is a total insult to all of us who have to tackle the road on anything less than a full-suspension mountain bike.

The new cycle parking on Station Road is finally in use and the 'security' guards have been sent elsewhere.
Dooring zone markings on the newly resurfaced Station Road, Cambridge - cyclists are entitled to keep well to the right.
