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

The narrow path connecting Willow Holme Road to the riverside path is overgrown with nettles and some thorns.

#108222, nearby

The path from Peel Park Place climbing up from the railway bridge to Eaglesham Road at Hairmyres.

#107988, nearby

The narrow shared footway at the Whirlies Roundabout.

#107982, nearby

An extremely narrow shared-use footway on the corner of Stoneymeadow Road and Whin Place.

#107956, nearby

Waiting to cross. The bush seems to be taking over the NCN756 shared footway.

#107618, 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.

#101255, nearby

The path connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal to Netherton Road next to the David Lloyd centre is in a very poor condition, not just a poor and narrow surface but quite overgrown too.

#101248, nearby

Low hanging branches above the A9 shared-use footway.

#100569, nearby

The nettles are starting to take over the path again.

#100566, nearby

Poor forward visibility on the bit of the Kelvin Walkway that dips down next to the river then climbs back up quite steeply (out of sight around the bend).

#100263, nearby

A signed link to the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, but unsurfaced and overgrown. Not the same link as shown in #100262.

#100128, nearby

Parts of the Kelvin Walkway could do with a sweep and having the low-hanging branches cut back.

#99976, nearby

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.

Overgrown vegetation at Jays Close end of NCN23 link to Hatch Warren Way Location: , Cliddesden (England, United Kingdom) The vegetation means it is hard to see oncoming traffic, which has to share a single lane due to parking

#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.

#83821, nearby

@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.

#71017, nearby

Overgrown steps down to the Bowes Railway Path, signed as a pedestrian access. Anyone not wishing to use this needs to cross the main road for the ramp.

#70947, nearby

The shared-use path from the Allander Leisure Centre meets the Bears Way cycle track at the toucan crossing across the A81, and across from the Craigdhu Wedge 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!

#67351, nearby

Giant Hogweed plantation in Pollok Park. http://t.co/3yeAI0Sebp

#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

#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

#52543, nearby

The path gets narrower and bumpier, and stays like this until Inverkip, with parts narrowed further by vegetation.

#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.

#51273, nearby

The overgrowing bushes block visibility at this crossing

#51133, nearby

See clip at http://youtu.be/Twz5cA9WvxA In summer, this path rapidly gets overgrown. It's got the the point with overhead branches are down to just above handlebar height, and nettles either side encroaching to less than handlebar width. ... [more]
