[Image taken 29.5.21] Marygate car park, York. The green vehicle was parked there. But not on a marked space. Car parks are hazardous places. This bit of Marygate car park today felt very unpleasant to be in. The car parking seemed to be a ... [more]

[Image taken 6.5.21] Marygate car park, York. A very steep slope leads to/from Scarborough Bridge. To get up a slope on a cycle you need a runup and to be positioned correctly. Wider, longer cycles (see: #165610), and those with trailers ( ... [more]
[Image taken 6.5.21] Marygate car park, York. Many cyclists were still using the car park even when the all-users route (to the right of the wooden fencing) was less empty. All images today: #168548 and links.
Rush hour congestion on New Street, Cambridge. The motor vehicle storage on both sides of this street make it difficult for cycles to pass the queueing traffic in either direction. Note: this section of the street is two-way for all t ... [more]

[Image taken 1.5.21] Marygate car park, York. From this: #166422 and this: #157641 to this. Image showing what we’ve lost (to car parking). The width is now 330cm. But that’s the actual not the usable width. The usable width is a maximu ... [more]
[Image taken 1.5.21] Marygate car park, York. The dynamic envelope of someone cycling a standard width cycle is 1m. Yet the space here is just 1.35m to be shared between all users. The feet of the barriers and the sandbags are trip hazards. ... [more]
Update: far worse encroachment at this ASL see: #168510 and link. [Image taken 29.4.21] Bridge Lane junction with Wigginton Road, York. Encroachment into the ASL is common. This example is a minor infringement. It shows the blind corner t ... [more]

The Auguststraße in Oldenburg is narrow. The speed limit is 20 mph and cycling on the pavement permitted, due to the many schools in the area. Cycling on the pavement intimidates pedestrians and is an issue for the most vulnerable road use ... [more]
A driver stopped on the Beith Street toucan crossing, which then changed to the pedestrian/cycle phase, and she is also using her phone.
Bilsland Drive at the junction with Balmore Road, a short distance after the end of the pop-up cycle lane. Since the inside of the carriageway was occupied with queuing traffic, the cyclist seen in #151391 had no option but to queue with th ... [more]

Cambridge retail park A rising bollard in the car park has been removed in defiance of the planning regulations and the retail park has applied for retropsective permission to make that permanent. I think that will lead to it being used ... [more]

Emergency ambulances attending addresses in Thoday Street stop in the middle of the road and sometimes remain there for around an hour. Motor traffic is left to stare at the back of the ambulance and there are intermittent toots from some o ... [more]

Buses and taxis were queuing along Emmanuel Road. But we don't need to do anything about congestion in Cambridge...
The traffic lights at this junction do not detect cycles approaching from Chelsfield Grove onto Maudeth Rd West - reported to GMUTC. Also when the pedestrian lights are green to cross Mauldeth Rd West this would be an ideal and safe opportu ... [more]
Walking to school, Warwick Road style. Grab a chance to dash across the traffic (no zebra crossing), breathe in the fumes of queuing rat-runners, hope nobody hoots their horn at you. How can anyone think this is acceptable for children? @Tf ... [more]

Scrubbed out cycle lanes on both sides of the road to allow car parking. And busy entrance/exit to Wakefield council site. Pushes us out into traffic
This is a terrible section to cycle. At rush hour it is a major cycle route towards Waterloo bridge, but cyclists feel intimidated by the sheer amount of Taxis blocking the road, pulling out on you and doing U-Turns. Coupled with pedestrian ... [more]
Crofton Lane was surprisingly busy with motor traffic. Unfortunately I missed the turn for the seafront path and had to endure the traffic all the way along Salterns Road. Proper cycle signage may have helped rather than relying on Sustrans ... [more]
