[Image taken 23.8.21] Roundabout, Haxby Road/Haley's Terrace, York. The entrance to Yearsley Pool. Shared use perhaps in recognition of the acute angle of the access and the fact it's immediately off the roundabout (see also: #173606). Howe ... [more]
[Image taken 23.7.21] Londis, Haxby Road junction with White Cross Road, York. The space for moving/manoeuvring here is very limited. There is a lot of street furniture in a very compact space. It includes a post box, two Sheffields (cycle ... [more]

Segregated cycleway crossing the Transrapid maglev test track in the Emsland, here the northern loop at Dörpen. This publicly funded development started in the 1980s, but was a commercial failure. Siemens has built only one 30.5 km (18. ... [more]

How many of you had noticed there were at least 4 bikes painted on this wall? I hadn't. May try for a better photo when lockdown is over. Hard to get a good picture of this wall through the railings. ETA: the wall is blank now as the restau ... [more]

Bridge on A632 at Arkwright, the bridge which replaced an old railway bridge, was constructed during the opencasting of the area and relocation of the village, allowing access under the road. It was filled in underneath after the opencastin ... [more]
