[Image taken 25.6.21] Hall Ings, Bradford, junction with Bridge Street. A 'covid-19' cycle lane that provides protection from other road users by means of wands - enabling faster cyclists to pass other users. Other image here: #170651. Othe ... [more]

[Image taken 24.6.21] Godwin Street, Bradford. Hoarding-mounted gallery. Adds interest to a location. But is also much less threatening a backdrop to city life than blank hoardings. There is room here people to be able to stop and enjoy th ... [more]
[Image taken 14.6.21] Near Grimston House, Vanbrugh Way, University of York, York. Good practice: using green tarmac to link sections of a through campus cycle route over a road. I think this would be very helpful at Bootham Terrace/Longfie ... [more]
[Image taken mid-June 2021] Fourstones, Northumberland. One of several signs of this design seen in the Hadrian's Wall area. It's part of the County Council's plans to encourage residents and visitors to make more journeys on foot and by cy ... [more]
[Image taken 6.6.21] Bootham Terrace, York. The railings to/from the underpass below the York-Scarborough rail line have been removed. See previous layout: #36893. The covid signs see: #168739 have gone too. Perhaps other changes are planne ... [more]
Torridon Avenue closed to motor traffic at its junction with Dumbreck Road, with cycles exempted and gaps provided.
The cycle filter at the end of Dargarvel Avenue has a signal since the junction of Dumbreck Road and Dumbreck Avenue is signalised. However, the gaps are not best aligned for movements straight across the junction.
Modal filter at Grangegorman, Dublin https://www.dublininquirer.com/2020/08/05/trial-run-of-filtered-permeability-measures-in-grangegorman-sees-mixed-response-from-locals
Useful modal filter in this Salford estate. Unfortunately many of the nearby paths have no dropped kerbs to access them.
Just two weeks since a coalition took over the county council and already the dangerous pop-up barriers here have been removed. Coincidence? See #151657, #151658, #156151, #168794
The start of the protected section of cycle lane on Cumbernauld Road. However, the motorists have decided to park in the bus layby instead.
The cycle lanes on Wallacewell Road are now equipped with armadillos right along the length of the road. The traffic islands appear to be marked up for adjustments to make the cycle lane wider past the islands.
I love this filter on Roslyn Road, Tottenham - it makes cycling home from Seven Sisters possible - plus this planter is absolutely beautiful 😍
An advance green has been provided for cycling into the protected cycle route straight ahead on Cambridge Street.
#Amazeballs the @wfcouncil #WhitneyRdE10 #ModalFilter off of #LeaBridgeRd goes from strength to strength! Gorgeous. Thank you to the volunteer gardeners who tend it and bring us this splendour!
[Image taken 26.4.21] Foss Islands Retail Park between James Street and Foss Islands Road, York. The angle of approach is tight but the zebra and the sign make it clear it's shared use. Other image of this zebra from today: #167793 and link ... [more]

[Image taken 12.4.21] Shambles Market, York. Not sure if this and its companion are true hoardings or simply historic photos of street scenes on a window. But they do show how imagery provides interest, and improves a scruffy area and makes ... [more]

New improved arrangement at the east end of Downing Street, with the awkward island and bollard removed and the traffic light phases changed - see also the advanced green light for cyclists.
Filtered permeability between Milnpark Gardens and Milnpark Street at Sussex Street, rectifying the main problem in #99410.
The Howard Street contraflow cycle lane with orca protection. The traffic island here has been made less obstructive too.
The Howard Street contraflow cycle lane now has protection from orcas. So taxi driver parks on footway at a pedestrian crossing point instead.
Oswald Street bus gate, helping to filter city centre traffic. But taxi driver stops forward even of the Advance Stop Line.
A dinkydoors foto-me booth on Mill Road bridge. It disappeared sometime on Friday evening: https://twitter.com/dinky_doors/status/1377894935668654082?s=21 There is a followup response see #166667.

Success - Norfolk Street now a School Street - long overdue given the danger shown at #91918 and #10532
Two out of three lanes removed from the side road as part of 20mph programme. This has created a much safer junction for pedestrians and cyclists at a well known pinch point. Wands could then be carried further over the junction.
Approach to the traffic free section of Academy Way Cycle symbols encourage cyclists to adopt a sensible road position to avoid left hooks.
Panton Street experimental traffic order allowing two-way cycling and prohibiting through motor traffic.
Changed priority, giving cyclists using Kings’s Parade priority, which is much safer and more sensible given the lack of traffic using Silver Street these days.
