[Image taken 18.1.23] Foss Islands Path at Haxby Road, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] I took this image, and the others at the same location, to show how much more space there is when the foliage on both sides of a route has been cleared as here. Any user can go right up to the edge of the tarmac. It also feels safer to this route user because the visibility of the route and who is using it is improved. Note the tracks showing the position of cyclists using route – presumably both ascending and descending. They are in the centre. They show routes need to be wide enough for other users to pass in the other direction or faster users to pass slower ones moving in the same direction.

[Image taken 18.1.23] Foss Islands Road, York. Location of close-up of hazard: #189551. Also visible is the local landmark Morrisons' chimney. (Because it's on the site of the Morrisons supermarket chain.) Other image, other topic today and links: #189546.

[Image taken 18.1.23] Foss Islands Road, York. One of many reasons it's important to keep routes clear of dips and damage: water freezes; people on cycles, in wheelchairs, in mobility scooters, etc, skid and fall. Other image here today: #189552. Other image today and links: #189546.

[Image taken 18.1.23] Kitchener Street, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] Entrance to/from Foss Islands Path/York Orbital. In the time I took to take this image and this one: #189550 a woman with a double buggy, three people on cycles and three pedestrians all had to walk round this vehicle. The drop kerb is completely obstructed so the women with the buggy and the cyclists were unable to use it. In early October 2022, I alerted the York Walking and Cycling Officer to the many problems with this exit/entry here. I'll do it again - with this evidence of need for urgent action. I reported the van to the York Parking Hotline while I was here. Other image today and links: #189546.

[Image taken 18.1.23] Wigginton Road, York. This cyclist has a skinny two-wheeled cycle with no luggage or passengers... But the space is clearly too narrow to pass through easily and safely. The 'feet'/supports of the barriers reduce the usable space (by 20cm) as do the barriers themselves - by 50cm (LTN 1/20 Table 5-3: Additional width at fixed objects assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/951074/cycle-infrastructure-design-ltn-1-20.pdf) Context and links: #189547.

[Image taken 18.1.23] Wigginton Road, York. The space left for all non motorised users on this link used by all ages, for all reasons, on foot with dogs and buggies; hand in hand with children; by people with sight issues; people who are ambulant but with mobility issues; people in wheelchairs, in mobility scooters... and in a sociable three-wheeler called Trixie (see: #186525) and the newer model (see: #187502). Yet the space is just 83cm at its narrowest and 105cm at its widest. I will report this to Northern Gas Networks. On the plus side, the information board - a statutory requirement - is in situ and easy to find. By contrast, CYC continues to flout this requirement at its works. Other image here today: #189548. Other image today and links: #189546.

[UPDATE: On 23.1.23 this sign had gone and there were works on the cycle way as far as the entrance to the building site (former Nestle factory) so the only space for all non-motorised users was on the pedestrian side (ie on the left on this image).] [Image taken 18.1.23] Wigginton Road, York. I cannot see why this is needed. I cannot see it will be complied with. It adds clutter and further reduces the available space for all users. I will ask for it to be removed. Other images here today: #189547, #189548. Other images today: #189549, #189550, #189551, #189552, #189553, #189554, #189557, #189558, #189559.

New ramped pedestrian bridge roughly here as part of the Ipswich Garden Suburb project - hopefully open for cycling too.

This area is the narrow part of the High Street. It is a rat run for people avoiding traffic on West street in Banwell. People drive extremely dangerously - yesterday a fellow dog Walker was hit ( I was a witness) as a car charged down the road with no consideration for the marked path or the right of way of pedestrians. It is a lethal situation - this road is used by schoolchildren and parents to get to Banwell school. If this had been a child it could have been a fatality. Another issue is two way traffic on this narrow area means there are regular jams where people are trying to come up and go down which is nearly impossible. If there are any traffic problems in the area Sat navs bring people through here as a short cut. Something must be done to prevent this. There needs to be more warning signs to remind cars of pedestrians, traffic calming, 20mph to reduce the Sat navs sending people around here and thought around one way to prevent congestion. It really is a dangerous situation.

High Street, Banwell is used as a short cut when the main road (A371) is busy. Traffic speeds along High Street, which is used a lot by pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. A 20mph limit and other traffic calming measures should be in place as it is dangerous at times.

The burst water main in #189435 has been repaired and the road patched, but the pothole has been left untouched!

With the bypass the A371 will become a 20mph zone. The length of High Street which runs through a residential area should also become a 20mph zone.

[Image taken 17.1.23] St Hilda’s, Tang Hall Lane, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] We were able to use these wall bars easily. We don't have extra wide handlebars or anything else that would keep our cycles away from the bars. We also have long D-locks. However, one of the organisers of the warm space/cake and tea event we were here for said she was unable to use them. She could not get her 'York' cycle - a design with a front wicker basket close enough to the bars to be able to use her D-lock. Other image here today: #189540.

[Image taken 17.1.23] St Hilda’s, Tang Hall Lane, York. Clear signage you can’t miss on the front of St Hilda’s www.achurchnearyou.com/church/18968/. Plus the gate was open to the space down the side of the church so there was no confusion over where we needed to take our cycles. Note also the clear and just as easy to find 'Contact details'.

Much used pathway for walkers and cyclists linking Hutton to Locking (& on to Weston, Haywood Village etc, Winterstoke Academy) with no actual surface for year round use. Please could this have a proper surface so that the village is connected (especially since there is no footpath out of the village by road), this would be a safe route for all.

Poor Visibility at Cycle Crossing. Barriers on cycle path difficult to manoeuvre on adapted cycle. High speed vehicles on road rat running between Belmont Hill and A370. Restrict vehicle access, reduce speed, cut back hedges by cycle path and remove barriers to enable improved access for all path users.

Make cycle links more visible. Introduce pedetrian/cycle crossings at the entrance to the retail park to reduce perception of car based trips only. Introduce more cycle racks

Provide infomation boards that cycle lanes are available from the retail park to a number of locations in Weston - including travel times

Italian local train with onboard bike spaces.

You are expected to wheel your bike into one of the slots on the left. Just above the slots there are three power sockets for charging e-bikes.

(This is the local stopping train from Roma Trastevere to Fiumicono Airport, not the premium service shown in the StreetView photo)

There is no pavement at all between Walton Street and and the start of the pavement at Portishead (junction of Down Road and Charlcombe Rise). If a pavement was added all residents of Walton Bay could walk to the bus stop at the top of Nore Road. At the moment we have no bus service or pavement to anywhere.

The Secondary School is surrounded by main roads and in particular, the main entrance/exit on to Devonshire Road has a very narrow footpath that includes the main bus stop for children. There is not enough room for the volume of children entering/exiting school along this stretch, other pedestrians and those waiting for the bus. Children are frequently stepping into the road, jostling each other etc
The school has adequate space (all around the perimeter) to allow for a much wider footpath to accommodate the hundreds of children needing to utilise these paths, either by foot or by bike. Please discuss with the school the simple solution to ensure the safety of all children and any other pedestrians and/or road users around this site. The fence needs relocating a minimum of one metre back from its current position and the vegetation needs regular maintenance too - this is allowed to encroach the entire perimeter and further decrease the usable pavement space.

Pavement overgrown and needs surface levelling so puddles do not form here across the width of the pathway. More space needed for walkers, pushchairs, wheelchairs to access.

Prevention of cars parking in and around school entrance which endangers children accessing safely.

Amsterdam will open its huge underwater bicycle parking at Centraal Station on 26 January: local TV station AT5 was allowed to take a look inside.

The footpath is ridiculously narrow on such a busy road.

Cathedral Square in Worcester seems to have become a car park. Very handy for shops and restaurants. t.co/RgIdbtcoAT

Narrow pavement adversely affected by encroaching hedges and flooding during wet weather.

Very narrow pavement here - it's scary and unsafe to walk along here with my young children when traffic, esp. quarry lorries, come past too fast.

20 mph limit and weight limit to stop very heavy diesel trucks (such as quarry lorries) coming through the village

Cycle rack provision to encourage cycling to facility

Cycle rack provision to encourage cycling to this destination

It would be really useful to provide cycle racks at 'one stop shops' and other destinations currently without provision

Lack of access for cyclists.

Access bridge is in a poor state of repair.

Paths are rough and steep.

Missing link in cycleway. Need route from Drove Road across Locking Road car park to town centre - create a ramp to avoid using the A370 bridge.

National speed limit yet no pavement and can be dangerous for pedestrians. Reduce the speed limit on narrow roads.

No pavement here and very narrow pavement on the other side of the road. Dangerous to cross the road here coming from Queens Lane

A thank you to @CambsCC! Work to improve signs at a Histon Guided Busway crossing has also removed an unnecessary barrier, improving the accessibility through this link. t.co/2PxJkyWjHP

No footway on northern side of Upper Bristol Road, forcing pedestrians to cross and no crossing point. Road is very wide and bus stops present.

These paths need to be regularly maintained especially for my children to walk to school in Backwell. Please widen.

This road has a very narrow walkway and a 40 speed limit, which makes both cycling and walking unsafe, please can you consider lowering the speed to 30. There are numerous big accidents on the crossing of belmont hill/clevedon road which could also be reduced with a slower speed

There isn't a path that connects station road and the showground with Clevedon road, which makes getting to events/the old village/the bus stop quite dangerous

This footpath is narrow and dangerous for children walking to school.

The Pavement along this section is very narrow and poorly maintained, every year when the hedges are trimmed the tractor squashes the verge onto the pavement making it muddy and slippy and narrow. Children walk to school along here and its very dangerous

Formal crossing provision required at junction for pedestrians and cyclists following the festival way.

This is the walking route for children to their nearest bus stop for senior school and for residents of the square area to walk into the village and primary school and locals from the village to walk up to the church. It is also where cars often accelerate to dangerous speeds as they come out of the bends on the square and from the bottom of church rd by the Brook. A pavement combined with traffic calming would make the road safer for all and enable more walking.

Pavement runs out a long time before the houses do. Local children cannot walk to school after the lynch entrance on Church Road due to no pavement and speeding commuter traffic and tractors using the road. Older children have to walk on the road to their school bus stops. Often in the dark on wet winter mornings.

Widen pathway and reduce traffic speed as a priority

The state of the footway in this location is appalling at the best of times, and currently it is virtually unusable due to the flooding on the road adjacent. Urgent action is need to improve and widen this path as it is a key safe route to the local secondary school and provides access to services and facilities in Backwell which are not available to the community in Flax Bourton.

Close Nailsea Wall to through traffic, with residential and agricultural access maintained to make a far more pleasant and pleasant inclusive route for people to walk, cycle and ride between Clevedon and Nailsea.

Provide a separate protected cycleway and footways along the length of Queens Road. The speed limit should also be reduced to 30mph

20 mph speed limit to make provision for cyclists to emerge safely from the cycle path onto the road. Children from Flax Bourton would be safer cycling to school if this was a safer exit onto the road.

This is a ‘very’ narrow and dangerous stretch of pavement on a busy main Rd with quarry lorries and buses thundering past children as they walk to and from school. Other vulnerable road users such as a neighbour who uses a motorised wheelchair and the elderly are also in danger. I am very concerned that one day a bus or lorry will catch someone’s bag or clothing and drag them into the road as previously happened on a narrow pavement in Long Ashton a few years ago where a lady was killed. Walking with children or children walking independently aren’t safe on the pavement. The problem continues from Flax Bourton church nearly all the way down to the Jubilee PH and you have to walk the stretch to see how dangerous it really is.
Therefore, many people in the village drive our children to secondary school in Backwell or walk them to the bus stop. If the pavement cannot be widened then a 20 mph limit through Flax Bourton village should be installed just like in Long Ashton and other villages in the country that have Main Rds passing through. The road is only going to get busier with airport expansion.

Globe Rd should be accessible both ways for cyclists

The diabolically bad Dean Lane cycleway. The route is fine. The width is fine. But the dropped entrances to private driveways aren't necessary (Dutch entrance kerbs should be used).

The real problem though is just how steep the dropped entrances are. They're incredible. If you do any kind of normal speed your front wheel actually lifts off the cycleway.

This is appallingly bad work from Stockport Council. They should be ashamed.

Cycle crossing of Wallbank Road. It could probably use some colour treatment (dyed asphalt) and be clearly raised above the carriageway, but it's not bad. There's a shared zebra crossing of Bridge Lane in the background.

Cambridge city ambassador with a quad e-bike outside the Guildhall - far cheaper than an actual tourist information centre, and no need for cyclists to lock their bikes up before going inside for information!

Nice new zebra crossing not in use, probably because it has to be signed off or something - still out of use 5 days later.

It looks as if the absolutely appalling stretch of broken road surface at the Station Road junction is getting some overnight attention.

Cycle cut-through added long after the road was closed - the gap between the two bollards on the left is still a bit tight.
