Photo listing : dutch-style cycleways (good practice)
The most recent photos are listed first. See also photomap view.
Conceptual cross-section for Chesterton Road with protected cycleway, separate footway, and an avenue of trees in planted grass verges.
A protected bypass has been built here, although it might have been better if it remained protected the closer one gets to the bridge (see the photo on the corner).
An excellent example of how to build a safe environment for all. This design is used on the north side of the bridge too.
A new section of cycle path alongside the A555. The surface is high quality and it's quite wide (there's a big deep ditch to the right that restricts it).
A new ramp down to the new cycle track alongside the A555. This is a good surface and is well signposted.
Cycle route continues west between the highway and a sports ground. I suspect the land behind the fence will soon become overgrown.
High quality shared cycle path alongside the new bypass. It is a little on the narrow side but there aren't that many pedestrians or cyclists here.
Stretford Manchester The correct sign when there are roadworks and there are narrow lanes. Segregated Infra is now in place and police are starting to enforce. On 28/11/18 an unmarked police vehicle is seen at the scene of 2 obstructing veh ... [more]
Since the NCN74 cycleway is separated from the road by a decent sized verge, there is no question of roadsigns blocking the cycleway.
NCN74 alongside the B7078 (the old A74) where the former dual carriageway has been converted into a single carriageway road and a decent cycleway.
After a rubbish detour around Lesmahagow, the cycle route becomes rather good again! The former dual carriageway has been converted into a single carriageway road and a decent cycle path.
The cycle route south of Blackwood starts off as a shared footway, but then it changes into a proper cycleway.
Typical Lea Bridge Road side road treatment. Continuous footway aligned with cycleway https://t.co/yJzkXKO7aF
Along the Inn Location: Hotting, Innsbruck (Tyrol, Austria) Cycle path next to the River Inn, Innsbruk
Wide smooth tarmac cycleway passes under the new A556 road via a well lit underpass. There are steps for horse riders to dismount.
Probably nicest section, near western end of Sawston-Babraham cycleway. Shielded from car headlights by hedges, fields on other side.
Space for walking, cycling, horseback riding and cats. [ed: I've seen partridge right here as well.]
The Babraham Institute cycleway / multi-use pathway for walking, cycling and horseback-riding. Very nice.
Employees now enjoy a separate cycleway entrance into their place of work, complete with cycle-friendly gate transponder.
Entry to well-crafted, relatively new pathway for walking, cycling and horseback riding around the Babraham Campus. Notice the separate grassy bridleway as well. A missing link between the A1307 cycleway and quiet roads in the village of Ba ... [more]
Bus stop bypass. I could quibble with a few points. There's no Zebra crossing for passengers. The bus stop might be too small, especially when they finally use two-door buses. The lamp post is in a strange spot. But generally speaking this ... [more]
Best part of the Ridgeway I've yet seen. Feels almost Dutch. Red tarmac for the cycleway & confusingly tar spray and chip for the footway (even though tar spray and chip is used elsewhere for the cycleway). The lamp posts are placed outside ... [more]
A father takes his kid home from school on the new cycleway along Eddington Ave. I believe that this junction does not have the incorrect give-way markings painted on it. It does have extraneous tactile pads, which seem to have been dist ... [more]
This bit of Trumpington Road cycleway near the Botanic Garden is now open. https://twitter.com/hopsncheese/status/874875689014525952
Cycleway linking Cambridge North station with Milton Road. The cycleway is 2.8 metres wide and the footway 2.0 metres. (There are seven and five lots of 40x40cm corduroy slabs spanning the whole width.)
New cycleway alongside Milton Avenue - Cambridge North station area. Includes an angled kerb to the footway (although it is a bit steep at 45 degrees rather than 30 degrees).
