Photo listing: road environments (problem)

#190758, nearby

Just your standard Advance Stop Line with a cycle lane approach that will be driven in by motorists using the pointless inside lane. And another van driver who has parked on the footway.

#190757, nearby

The bollards removed for COP26 still have not been reinstated, and the plastic box keeps getting moved aside, allowing drivers to enter and leave the Kelvingrove Art Gallery grounds from Argyle Street, at the pedestrian crossing (see … [more]

The bare minimum for cyclists on the A40 (not the A4)

#190626, nearby

A very poorly maintained raised junction at the intersection of Bank Street and Glasgow Street. The paving blocks are very uneven and awkward to ride over.

#190625, nearby

A poor road environment on Sauchiehall Street at Charing Cross, leading to these two cycling on the footway and traffic island. And they weren't the only ones.

#190585, nearby

[UPDATE: See note on: #190584] [Image taken 1.2.23] Skeldergate, (looking towards the junction with Micklegate and Bridge Street), York. Who are the intended users of this channel? Cyclists in this direction only? (There’s no help … [more]

No pavement for southbound buses - children leaving Gordano School in numbers at risk when leaving the bus here. Traffic speed makes it very dangerous.

#189323, nearby

Being used like a rat run. The signaling is set up like there's still equal traffic N/S E/W bound when now it's mostly N/S, creating waits for pedestrians and motorists. Pedestrians need prioritizing on what should be a shopping street.

Still no dropped kerb at the Panmure Gate entrance to the award-winning Claypits Local Nature Reserve.

#188812, nearby

A road notorious for traffic congestion is about to be widened. That means that a pub opened in 1784 is about to get flattened. So sad that this is how we treat our history. https://t.co/nLSD2OUSoG
