Monastery Street is temporarily closed whilst the final construction work for the Burgate to Longport cycle route is being completed.
Cycle crossing from Partick Bridge Street to the Byres Road cycleway, under construction at Partick Cross. The cycle traffic signal under wraps is lit and showing red.
Cyclist bravely ignoring the Footway Closed Ahead sign, which does refer to cycling as well - there's quite a detour to the left due to works on the Fen Causeway crossing.
The on-road cycle lane has already been suspended - now cyclists on the shared-use path have to dismount as well.
The end of Windsor Road where an onward connection into the Darwin Green development is under construction.
[Image taken 13.8.23] Skeldergate, York. Context: #196556. I missed the diversion. Like all the cyclists coming in the other direction I pushed along the pavement. I can… not everyone can.
[Image taken on 13.8.23: #196775.] [Image taken 9.8.23] Skeldergate, York. Context and links: #196555.
[Image taken 9.8.23] Skeldergate, York. Excellent example of a works information sign. You know: how long the works will last, the name of the company responsible, the number to call should you need to, the references for the work. Context … [more]
[UPDATE 19.8.23 Reworked layout: #196850] [Image taken 9.8.23] Skeldergate, York. Works remodelling the buildouts. Context: #184903. Other images here today: #196556, #196557. Other image today and links: #196553.
[Image taken 25.7.23] Haxby Road, York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location.] Turn off to/from Haxby Cycleway… but cyclists don’t exist. Though it’s the cycle route that’s blocked. In this direction (southbound) you need to cross … [more]
[UPDATE: #196510.] [Image taken 21.7.23] Shipton Street, York. Context: #170576. Contrast: #195926. Other image today and links: #196063.
Cycle Lane Closed - cyclists are presumably meant to cross the road and wait at the temporary lights to get through the roadworks. Not very helpful.
[Image taken 1.7.23] Burton Stone Lane, York. (Looking northbound.) I struggled to push my cycle in the gap marked by my red arrow. I don’t believe the space left on the pavement used for sandbags people was sufficient for easy or safe use … [more]
[Image taken 1.7.23] Burton Stone Lane, York. Road closure sign with information board (name of contractor, reference, phone number) though not the reason “Road closure” is not informative. Perhaps they didn’t know/it was too complicated. … [more]
[Image taken 1.7.23] Burton Stone Lane, York. (Looking southbound.) Actual road closure now visible. Context and links: #195918.
[Image taken 1.7.23] Burton Stone Lane, York. (Looking southbound.) Second warning sign of road closure and last chance to avoid it in a motor vehicle. However there were no diversion signs. Context and links: #195918.
NOTE: The road was closed for a week. It reopened on time. [Image taken 1.7.23] Burton Stone Lane, York. (Looking southbound.) First warning in this direction of road closure for utilities for the Duncombe Barracks site: … [more]
Excellent news - escalators and a wheelchair lift being installed on the link between the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'Est, Paris.
Two new pedestrian/cycleways under construction - and a barrier moved to allow passage over the bank holiday weekend rather than having to cross the main road twice.
Temporary lights - totally unnecessary, except I think that they allow a pedestrian phase around the roadworks. By the time the light changed there were 15 to 20 bikes (and 1 trike) waiting.
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location] Context: #193945. As I was looking for the signage to see where/until which point/from which point people can cycle on this … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. The temporary barriers at the closed shared use/toucan crossing over New Lane were upright today. Context: #193943. Other image here today and links: #194141.
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road, Huntington / York. Note the new sign. It says there is access to New Lane. That’s good. It’s true. This means pedestrians can continue to the path along this side of New Lane (and from there to the … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road, Huntington / York. Context: #193938. Other images this issue here today: #194142, #194144, #194145, #194146, #194148, #194150. Signage problems New Lane: #194151, #194152, #194153, #194154.
[Image taken 17.5.23] Tadcaster Road, York. The road works-related signage means this Sheffield (outside a parade of shops and a takeaway) cannot be used. Is this a problem of lack of care? Lack of understanding? Lack of training? Someone … [more]
[Image taken 17.5.23] Tadcaster Road (looking north east), York. I’m marking the sign - Cyclists use road - as good practice (though I shouldn’t need to) because it’s still all too common that people on cycles are told to dismount (see: … [more]
[Image taken 17.5.23] Tadcaster Road (looking south west), York. The sign - Narrow lanes do not overtake cyclists - is good practice. There was another for the north east-bound carriageway too. Second example of good practice these works … [more]
Construction of a wider cycleway/greenway - at the moment all cyclists and pedestrians have to cross the main road twice to get past.
Alternating traffic flows through roadworks - very long phases, and no real provision for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the road - just wait till the cars stop and rush across. But it looks as if there'll be a better cycleway when it's … [more]
[Image taken 14.5.23] New Lane direction of Malton Road, Huntington / York. The information sign does not provide a phone number to report problems on. Such as fallen barriers: #193945. Or complaints: that the shared use path is … [more]
Notification from the county council for the roadworks on Barton Road, Newnham, where space has been taken from the road to provide more space for cyclists and pedestrians, as well as a new crossing (presumably part of the Greenways … [more]
Cyclists Dismount sign at the start of roadworks on Barton Road, Newnham - this section of Grantchester Street has been closed to allow the use of two-way rather than three-way temporary lights, and as a storage compound .

Temporary traffic lights on Barton Road, Newnham, where space has been taken from the road to provide more space for cyclists and pedestrians, as well as a new crossing (presumably part of the Greenways project).
End of Cycleway - you don't say. But this area in front of Białystok station has been massively remodelled and improved, so it's all good.
This is Czech cycle route 4 (to the right past the cement truck) - but a span of the railway bridge is being rebuilt, so there may be a problem.
This is going to be great - every motor vehicle will encroach on the contraflow cycle lane. It may be better to use the next road north (also contraflow).
It's all happening here - after these City Fibre works, Cambridge Water is going to close Grantchester St (and Bateman St too) for a couple of days.
Following the attempt to use temporary lights (#189852 and #189853) they've given up - not ideal for the walk to school.
Local traffic chaos due to parked cars blocking cars trying to pass queuing cars. Also no lights on Chedworth St, one light for both Grantchester St and Eltisley Avenue.

It looks as if the absolutely appalling stretch of broken road surface at the Station Road junction is getting some overnight attention.
Water utility works at the north end of Grange Road - naturally cyclists can get past (although the puddles don't help).
Water utility works at the north end of Grange Road - urgent enough to close the road, not urgent enough to work on a Sunday. A shame the barriers were left blocking the cycle lanes, but of course cyclists were passing on the footways.
Future cycleway towards Berwick station (NCN route 2 - on the opposite side of the road to the northern section)
Still no path connection from the Bredisholm Road M73 bridge to Calderbank Road, and no evidence one is going to be provided. A detour via the unsealed path next to the railway line is thus necessary.
[Image taken 26.6.22] Manor Lane, junction with Manor Park Road, York. A fallen temporary works sign is a hazard - barely visible, And the cone couldn't be seen until you got this close. (I moved both off the road/avoiding the pavement.) … [more]
I don't think the replacement Sighthill Bridge will be opening in "the early months of 2022". https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=27331
Avenue being resurfaced for the Tour de France with minor improvements - what a shame they didn't take the opportunity to put in a good cycle track too. But Rodez doesn't even have much cycle parking.

The Old Dumbarton Road cycleway still awaits completion of utility works before it can be completed itself.

[Image taken 14.4.22] Mill Lane, York. The temporary traffic restriction order. Other images today this subject: #181690 and links.
[Image taken 14.4.22] Mill Lane, York. The explanation for the works is on that sign. But there is no information board for the works so there's no information about who to contact or how to do so to report issues. Other images today this … [more]
UPDATE: 14.5.22 I saw the route was open again. All signage has been removed. [UPDATE On 19.4.22 CYC said: "We have asked for the cyclists dismount sign at the northern end of Mill Lane to be removed." See: #181987] [Additional images taken … [more]
[Image taken 4.4.22] Aldwark, junction with St Saviour's Place, York. These are the companion signs to: #181274. Were these signs here on 1.4.22? Were they hidden by the vehicle exiting Aldwark? Or by one parked here? (See: #181605.) I also … [more]
[Image taken 13.3.22] Bootham, York. Context and links: #180045. A cone in the pavement adds to the mess, confusion and hazards. As I was taking this image a steady stream of pedestrians moved through the works in both directions: at one … [more]
