Lack of verge trimming has lead to the LED catseyes being, in a number of cases like here on the left, completely covered over.

#171949, nearby

Cycle art produced by a local school on the wall at the entrance to the Drumchapel Way at Drummore Road, but no maintenance done to trim the overhanging branches or to the path surface.

#170468, nearby

The footway of Hillington Road (at least part of which is shared-use) is loosing width to the bush, which will need cut back at some point. The toucan crossing connects Penilee and Hillington as part of a minimal signage quietway style c ... [more]

#170247, nearby

A closer look at the cycle crossing waiting area on Abbbotsinch Road.

#170245, nearby

It is without explanation, but I believe the thing on the left is to allow cyclists to pull in and wait to cross to the shared footway on the right. See also #170247. The ban on right turns presumably didn't take into account the route o ... [more]

Cycle infrastructure in Surrey is a joke https://t.co/1AKXwEskvT

The lack of sweeping on the canal path means the LED catseyes are starting to disappear into the extended verge.

#152269, nearby

Vegetation encroaching onto path near Gower Street, and evidence of people going across the grass instead.

#139340, nearby

The counter at the Anderston Bridge appears to have been abandoned. See update at #168811.

Airedale Greenway signs on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Bingley, but watch out for that branch!

#110321, nearby

Airedale Greenway signage at the overgrown ramp to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

#109645, nearby

It's hard to believe that this is right alongside the M898 motorway. The most intense vegetation is just ahead, and includes nettles.

#109644, nearby

The middle section of Shilton Lane is somewhat overgrown. This could be replaced by a path.

#109455, nearby

Limited sight lines at the St Leonards Road traffic lights on the Calderwood Road shared footway.

#107455, nearby

The cycle path from Mungo Park to the Murrayhill underpass being used as a private driveway, with a sign for East Kilbride's cycle route 1 hidden behind a bush.

#107344, nearby

The path along the edge of the park disappears under a bush, and because the grass is at the foot of a slope, the grass can get a bit too boggy to cycle on.

#103069, nearby

A partially hidden marker post for the HArTT cycle route. You ain't gonna see that from the road!

#101625, nearby

Dead trees, ivy strewn, collapsing into the Love Lane path. Particularly hazardous at night.

#101624, nearby

Hedgerow saplings collapsing across the path at waist height, forming a soggy barrier in wet weather. This path, like so many, needs better maintenance, particularly of summer growth.

Dangerously overgrown cycleway near this cycle crossing of the A5, Hinckley.

#99974, nearby

Dangerously overgrown bush near this cycle crossing of the A5, Hinckley. This has been reported to Leicestershire Highways Ref: FS79728760 https://www.leicestershire.gov.uk/report-a-road-problem

#99786, nearby

Another path junction that would benefit from some upgrading work.

#99785, nearby

As also seen in #99784, this path needs a proper surface, and it could be rebuilt slightly to the side to improve sightlines at the path junction.

#99784, nearby

Some potentially useful paths here, but the route crossing this one needs a proper surface, and the opportunity could be taken to move it away from the vegetation to improve sightlines.

#91272, nearby

I wonder if @forthroadbridge have plans to trim the bushes, as pedestrians can't keep to their side of the line. https://t.co/84pIlB6kcQ

#91231, nearby

The vegetation needs better management on what has become a blind corner on NCN1.

#90996, nearby

Access to the Brock Burn path here is by steps over the flood defences.

#90052, nearby

Haringey Law Centre - Courtyard # 1 Location: Tottenham Hale, London (England, United Kingdom) 1 April 2017. Litter, rubbish. A bush growing in the cycle racks and rubbish in the courtyard.

#88996, nearby

The narrow path between the A89 and Bargeddie Parish Church gets wider for a bit, but much of the benefit is negated by the vegetation. However, it probably copes fine with the present level of use.

#88195, nearby

Sign obscured by vegetation.

#87540, nearby

Overhanging vegetation - looks like the result of some unfinished pruning. I've checked and there is a report about this at: https://highwaysreporting.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/ Enter the reference: 261632

#86181, nearby

A very messy cycleway.

#86176, nearby

Good separation from the carriageway, not so good separation from the vegetation.

@hantsconnect @sustrans who looks after clearing the NCN cycle path near Mottisfont? It's almost blocked by nettles https://t.co/wYN5CAJlM8

#83022, nearby

Now that this dropped kerb forms part of a cycle route, it might be time to trim back the lower branches on these trees.

#75985, nearby

Route sign hidden by tree branches until the last moment, on narrow shared-use footway.

#71472, nearby

Sign obscured by overhanging branches at toucan crossing.

#71469, nearby

Apparently those cycling to Newcastle and Gateshead need to join the carriageway (bus lane for some distance) here. Others can stay on the shared-use footway. A thoughtfully positioned sign for pedestrians.

#71096, nearby

On joining the shared-use footway from Aikenhead Road I almost collided with another person on a bike coming the other way at this blind corner. Poor sightlines here. Additionally, the writing on the direction sign is so small that it is ... [more]

#71026, nearby

The Bowes Railway Path under the A1 dual carriageway no less, in a poor condition on all counts.

#71024, nearby

Due to the low bridges, horse-riders need to dismount. I noticed that at the similar sign on the other side of the low bridges that there was a concrete block to assist riders dismounting. But on this side it is too overgrown to get to.

#71023, nearby

Poor quality surface on the Bowes Railway Path.

#71022, nearby

A very poor quality cycle path.

#70749, nearby

The Kelvin Walkway goes down the steps and into thick vegetation. I gave this section a miss!

#70745, nearby

The improved section of path doesn't even stretch as far as the bridge. The path beyond here is even worse!

#70419, nearby

Route sign hidden in tree.

#70299, nearby

Spot the route sign for Cumbernauld cycle route 2. This section of route is on-road, unlike most of the Cumbernauld cycle network, and on a 40mph road at that!

#70297, nearby

The path alongside North Road has been designated part of Cumbernauld cycle route 4.

#70269, nearby

A footpath in Cumbernauld that seems to have been forgotten about!

#68250, nearby

Bawsey Drain bank cycleway. Mostly fairly narrow and vegetation out of control. Annoying pedalcatcher fences. Despite all that, still a useful way to avoid the A road past the docks!

#67183, nearby

The cycleway is on the right hand side, and on-coming cyclists are hidden from view by the bush approaching the crossing point.

#67181, nearby

Cycleway used as footway since the service road only has a footway across the other side, and an awkward turn with limited visibility due to bushes to cross service road.

#65683, nearby

The cycle lane on Wester Hailes Road is partially obstructed by vegetation. The surface is also somewhat rough.

#60721, nearby

Slow

#57092, nearby

Bushes are encroaching on the Madingley Road cycle track.

#55238, nearby

The junction sign is almost hidden by vegetation. Maybe it should be moved nearer the junction.

#55086, nearby

Why is the path around the roundabout not like this? Nice wide path alongside A565 dual carriageway, but narrow path next to hedge around the roundabout itself! (There is a shared-use sign at the other end at the side road.)

#55085, nearby

Narrow shared-use path around roundabout, with vegetation restricting path and sightlines further

#54993, nearby

Cyclists meant to take overgrown route to the right

#52180, nearby

The Strathkelvin Railway Path is now a bit overgrown on much of the section between Lennoxtown and Strathblane, making it hard to pass people coming the other way.
