Photo listing: route signs (problem)

#190256, nearby

Milton Keynes route signs refering to cycle routes aligned with the H and V terminology of the main road network. H and V is perhaps horizontal and vertical. These are pretty hard to relate to unless you know the grid map.

#190127, nearby

Misleading sign - you can either go left and then right on the route towards the Newmarket Road roundabout, or right into a school.

#189404, nearby

[UPDATE: An email from CYC says: "It [My email] has already been passed to the Head of Housing Services who has taken the matter up with contractors." I hope all involved will learn from this and the practice will stop - at work but also in … [more]

#189401, nearby

[Image taken 11.1.23] Bootham, York. Nonsensical, inaccurate, confusing and ultimately therefore clutter. The information is aimed at people on cycles who need to turn right into Bootham Terrace. The 'Ahead' belongs to the information in … [more]

#188683, nearby

[Image taken 10.12.22] Foss Islands Path, York. [NOTE: Location on street view approximate.] I asked this cyclist if he’d mind my taking an image as he rode through the route 'closed' signs. Instead he stopped so I could get a better … [more]

#188681, nearby

[Image taken 10.12.22] Foss Islands Path, York. [NOTE: Location on street view approximate.] The main sign is very visible to everyone approaching the temporary blockage. It is (almost) correct: This is a cycle route (though not a ‘lane’) … [more]

#188680, nearby

[Image taken 10.12.22] Foss Islands Path, York. [NOTE: Location on street view approximate.] Ah, this poster uses the phrase “cycle/footpath”. And the image is clearly aimed cyclists though it ignores all other non-motorised users. And why … [more]

#188679, nearby

[Image taken 10.12.22] Foss Islands Path, York. [NOTE: Location on street view approximate.] Lots of signage. Quantity rather than quality: it ignores the group that may be the largest users of this route: people on cycles. Other image this … [more]

#187773, nearby

Road closed, pedestrians can take their usual route without problem, but what about the signposted cycle route?

#187687, nearby

[Image taken 12.11.22] Stirling Road, York. Location of cycle parking in relation to the leisure facility - tenpin (www.tenpin.co.uk/our-locations/york/bowling/) - I assume they are intended to support. But no sign alerting people there … [more]

#185686, nearby

Cryptic sign on Craigdhu Wedge path.

#185682, nearby

[Image taken 20.8.22] James Street, York. This 'cycle lane' sign has bothered me for a while so today I stopped to take an image. It's ambiguous at best. Or is it wrong? Is it directing people to turn left along the Foss Islands Path … [more]

#185186, nearby

[UPDATE: #185661] [Image taken 31.7.22] Ahead left, Butcher Terrace (left), Terry Ave (ahead), Millennium Bridge (ahead right), York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] This sign is filthy and illegible. It’s also unhelpful or just … [more]

#184932, nearby

[Image taken 19.7.22] Terry Avenue, York. This Road Ahead Closed sign close to the exit from/entrance to the campsite is inaccurate. It is closed ahead to motor vehicles. Context: #184932. Other images Terry Avenue today and links: #184930.

#184931, nearby

[Image taken 19.7.22] Terry Avenue, York. This Road Ahead Closed sign is inaccurate. It fails York and its residents. The route is open - to people cycling, scooting, walking, wheelchairing... It's a shady, quiet and pollution free option … [more]

#184768, nearby

No Entry except emergency vehicles - and cycles, it seems

#184309, nearby

NCN route 21 has an unprotected crossing of this main road to the left.

#184128, nearby

Finally cyclists on NCN route 2 can escape the tedious and hilly road - but there really should be a coastal route all the way through the country park to the left.

#184098, nearby

Route sign telling cyclists to stay on the road and turn right at the roundabout - although there's an obvious off-road option.

#184097, nearby

NCN route 2 turns left at the roundabout. It would be easy to take it off-road, but the local dog-walkers might object.

A recommended route for cyclists along West Princes Street, but signed as a No Through Road.

#183650, nearby

[UPDATE: 27.8.22 #185803] [UPDATE: 3.8.22 Someone has cut the foliage that covered the front of the sign exactly following the edge. It is legible again though the blind corners of the entry/exit have not been cut back. So perhaps the sign … [more]

#183089, nearby

Route sign in Sandgate - but the route towards Folkestone ends at some steps, so NCN route 2 uses the road just inland.

NCN 1 route marker but without the crucial arrow to the right.

#182129, nearby

[Image taken 26.4.22] Haxby Road, York. Helpful cycle direction signage. But each sign should also include the distance (compare with: #182456). That enables people (including pedestrians and wheelchair users) to decide if they can manage … [more]

#180285, nearby

Route signs and crossing (with barriers to force cyclists into the pedestrian space), Mark Hall South, Harlow

'Improvements' on the B183 mean that this sign is now redundant - non-motorised traffic has to make a detour south to a new crossing.

#179862, nearby

To get onto the contraflow cycleway to the right you'd have to go left to find a dropped kerb. And the sign doesn't mention that this is NCN route 4.

#179756, nearby

The sign for the White Cart Footbridge is branded as being part of NCN7, which it is not.
