| 183426 |  | No overtaking lines needed around this double bend as I have had various vehicles overtake me only to nearly hit me or oncoming vehicles. In fact I have just reported one driver that actually did hit me to Essex police. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 183425 |  | Having protected cyclists along Cornwall Street, the cycle lane ends by spitting them out onto the Centre Roundabout. This may be temporary. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 183424 |  | Cycleway to the north of the A12 comes to an abrupt end with no safe means of accessing Witham. This needs safe crossings and a wider shared path as a minimum. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 183423 |  | The Cornwall Street cycle lane at the Fire Station. Incorrect corduroy tactile paving has been used instead of the cycleway type at the pedestrian crossing. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 183422 |  | There is a branching cycle route along Brouster Hill as well as the continuing route along Cornwall Street. Corduroy tactile paving has been used instead of the correct cycleway type. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 183421 |  | There is no safe crossing from the Southern estate to the Zebra crossing to the north on Tollgate Road. | Track: Problem track |
| 183420 |  | The Cornwall Street cycle lane deviates at both side road crossings. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 183419 |  | Once it gets going, the Cornwall Street cycle lane settles down into a reasonable facility. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 183418 |  | Does the council expect cyclists to arrive at the cycle lane by bus? See also #183417. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 183417 |  | The entrance to the new Cornwall Street cycle lane is blocked by planters. See also #183418. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 183416 |  | The gap between the old cycle network in East Kilbride and the new cycle network in East Kilbride is four lampposts' worth of road. Note the tyre tracks in the grass. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 183415 |  | Commercial drivers have realised that there are no consequences from failing to comply with laws. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 183414 |  | The mandatory cycle lane in University Avenue blocked by a lorry driver with his lorry, forcing a rider off her bike. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 183413 |  | Temporary barriers have returned to close off the Kelvingrove Art Gallery pedestrian and cycle access from use by drivers. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 183412 |  | A driver reversing and turning, having seen the previous driver head down towards Argyle Street to find the way now blocked. See also #183413. | Enforcement: Infrastructure enforcement |
| 183411 |  | [Image taken 8.6.22] Ware & Kay, Sentinel House, Peasholme Green, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] Staff cycle parking - empty 'wheelbenders' and (unused?) cycles leant against the wall. Context and links: #183407. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 183410 |  | [Image taken 8.6.22] Ware & Kay, Sentinel House, Peasholme Green, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] Staff cycle parking - 'wheelbenders'. Context and links: #183407. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 183409 |  | [Image taken 8.6.22] Ware & Kay, Sentinel House, Peasholme Green, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] Staff cycle parking. It's under cover. It looks secure. But inside it's still 'wheelbenders'. Context and links: #183407. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 183408 |  | [Image taken 8.6.22] Ware & Kay, Sentinel House, Peasholme Green, York. Easy to access car parking for 'clients'. The squat brick structure at the back is staff cycle parking. Visitor/customer cycle parking and context plus links: #183407. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 183407 |  | [Image taken 8.6.22] Ware & Kay, Sentinel House, Peasholme Green, York. It's disappointing a solicitor's (www.warekay.co.uk/) so close to the centre of a city where many people cycle only has 'wheelbenders'. The location is good - easy to find - but this design offers no support and no way of locking the frame as well as the wheels to an immovable object. Some insurance companies will not cover cycles not secured to an immovable object. Compare it with the client car parking: #183408 and cycle parking for staff: #183409, #183410, #183411. Other images today: #183404. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 183406 |  | [UPDATE: #183630.] [Image taken 8.6.22] Coppergate, York. An example of good practice. Context: #180533. The corridor between the wands and the pavement on the left-hand side of this image was interpreted as an extension of the pavement by some pedestrians and a cyclist I saw. Adding a cycle symbol after the lit crossing (where I was standing to take the image) I hope makes it clear(er) who can use this space. Other image here today: #183405 and links. | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 183405 |  | [Image taken 8.6.22] Coppergate, York. Context: #180531. Permanent 'Except cycles' signs at the entrance from Nessgate. A cycle symbol is (just) visible on the tarmac just after the pedestrian crossing. Other image here today: #183406. Other images today: #183404 | General sign/notice: Good practice signs |
| 183404 |  | [Image taken 8.6.22] Way of the Roses - 658, Duncombe Place, York. Events signage often obstructs pavements or cycle routes. If an organisation/authority wants to put up notices alerting people to forthcoming events, using existing street furniture to do so is surely the way to go about it. This is therefore is an example of good practice. Aboards obstruct pavements (see: #183617). When they fall they obstruct roads. Plus, people spill out into roads to avoid them. They are also clutter and unsightly: #183618. And hazardous: #183629. Other images today: #183405, #183406, #183407, #183408, #183409, #183410, #183411. | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 183403 |  | [No change a month on: #183854.] [Image taken 7.6.22] Lidl, James Street, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] The cycle parking at this Lidl is undercover and access is unobstructed see: #174000. But this person told me she doesn’t use it in her mobility scooter because she blocks access for people on cycles. So she uses this disabled parking bay if it’s free. But it’s not sheltered so in bad weather the padding on her seat gets wet while she is shopping. Worse is – for any user of this space – the trolleys of merchandise block the access to/from the shop entrance. The bollards should filter movements. ‘People’, eg those with a disability using the dedicated parking spaces, should be able to pass between the bollards, but not motor vehicles. By blocking access to everyone the shortest and safest route is not possible. The convenience of the disabled parking space (and the point of providing them and people using them) is lost. Any user has to walk in the car park either around the trolleys or around any user in the bay to the left. Other images today and links: #183399. | Enforcement: Problem enforcement |
| 183402 |  | [Image taken 7.6.22] NCN658, link route between James Street (in direction of camera) and Foss Islands Road, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] Sightlines for all users on the approach to the crossing are very limited. Unchecked foliage exacerbates the issue. Other image here today and links: #183400. | Other: Problem general |
| 183401 |  | [Image taken 7.6.22] NCN658, link route between James Street (in direction of camera) and Foss Islands Road, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] Context: #182699. Other image here today and links: #183400. | Enforcement: Problem enforcement |
| 183400 |  | [UPDATE 21.6.22: The low hanging branches have been trimmed.] [Image taken 7.6.22] NCN658, link route between James Street (in direction of camera) and Foss Islands Road, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] The trees now rake the heads of pedestrians and people cycling/scooting. Further growth and any additional rain makes them heavier and so they hang ever lower. Context and links: #182699. Other images here today: #183401, #183402. Other images today and links: #183399. | Enforcement: Problem enforcement |
| 183399 |  | [Image taken 7.6.22] Bootham Bar/High Petergate, York. Once again a driver is stopped in front of the bollard. This means legitimate users of the route (cyclists/hire e-scooter riders) cannot pass through. Filtered permeability only works when the space is kept clear. (See also: #182575.) Other images today: #183400, #183401, #183402, #183403. | Enforcement: Problem enforcement |

| 183348 |  | [Image taken 6.3.20] Illustrative image of space provided on Azumas (LNER) for cycles. The nearest one does not fit inside the cage. The door cannot be shut and locked. See also: #174286, #173797. For explanatory caption about taking cycles on trains (TPE) see: #173854. [NOTE: This caption was written 7.6.22 based on an interview on 6.6.22] Two parents, late 40s, one of whom has epilepsy, so is not permitted to drive. Two children, both pre-GCSE teens. One Disabled railcard. One Family and Friends railcard. Both plastic not electronic. Pre-children the parents used to take their cycles on long-distance trains for one or two holidays a year but also day trips. When the kids came and got old enough to cycle independently the breaks restarted. Until the arrival of Azumas in 2019. These do not have a guard’s van. There is a 4-cycle limit and you must hang your cycle on a hook in a cage with very limited space to move. The problem of train travel now is the: “stress of boarding” – being able to get onto the train in time, and “bike hanging”. The mother says: “I can’t physically lift my bike. I have to rely on someone else to do it. It is a real equality issue.” Then there’s the reversing process at the destination (or repeating it if there are changes along the route). “On shorter journeys, I also worry about potentially blocking other cyclists from being able to take their bikes.” The family no longer makes day trips as “the hassle is too much” and “it requires too much mental energy”. They’d use the train to make day trips and go on holiday more if travelling with cycles wasn’t “so flipping annoying and stressful”. “We did a [cycling] holiday in the Netherlands in 2019. By far the most stressful part of the holiday was getting all the cycles on the train in the UK. [The route between York and the port – Hull - is operated by Northern. It has a two-cycle limit but enforcement is down to the train staff. Cycle carriage is free but it’s not possible to reserve spaces on Northern trains.] This was much more stressful than the ferry, though we had never travelled on a ferry as a family before.” The family is returning to the Netherlands for a holiday in 2022, again taking their cycles. This time they are taking the ferry from Newcastle. This means they have to take an LNER Azuma. They were able to book all four bikes on the same train from York to Newcastle but could not find a service with space for four cycles for the return journey. This was despite attempting to book on the day the tickets were released. As a result they are having to split the group. This meant “deliberation about who travels in which group”. They will all have to go to Newcastle station in time for the first service. The mother and one child will travel on this and the father can load both cycles. The mother will have to rely on someone unloading both bikes for her at the other end. There’s another problem: the railcards. If you have physical rail cards and need to split the group you can’t use the same railcard. You can’t even book the journeys together. The family booked one adult and one child on one service using the Disabled rail card. They booked the other two family members using the Family and Friends rail card. What would work for them? “Wheeling cycles onto trains on a ramp like that for wheelchair users” and “attaching cycles to a Sheffield stand” and being able to leave them and "more spaces for cycles on trains". Summing up the problems: - there are “not enough spaces on trains for even a family of four to be able to travel together reliably; - the hangers [cycle hooks] which are physically difficult for many people; - help is not a “failsafe”. “I’ve heard of people in wheelchairs who have been forgotten so a woman with a bike won’t be high priority.” Where does the mother think the problem lies: “There was no consultation with users and now no recognition of the problem or willingness to take action to solve it.” | Other: Problem general |
