| 95792 |  | The County RoW officer says that local residents object to the surface of the Grantchester Meadows path here being repaired "because it would encourage parking". Well the state of it clearly doesn't deter parking, people park on the bits with fewest potholes and force anybody on foot or bike to splash through the puddles. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |

| 95321 |  | For as long as I can remember the end of Red Cross Lane has been made awkward to negotiate by anybody trying to get through to Addenbrookes from the East by bike - gated, no dropped kerbs, rough surface, barriers to stop you accessing the road from the path. cambridge.cyclestreets.net/location/33236/ Last week I came down Red Cross Lane and found this. Wow, brilliant, just what was needed! Thank you to whoever finally made this happen. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |

| 89674 |  | Not much respect for speed limits in evidence on "New Road" in Barton. The school is just around that bend, as is the post office, pub and village centre. | Enforcement: Problem enforcement | |
| 89311 |  | Garret Hostel Lane | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 89310 |  | Garret Hostel Bridge A rare shared use path with enough width to cycle comfortably. If the Cambridge News is to be believed the County want to stop allowing people to cycle on it over fears that a tourist will get bumped into the river | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |

| 85758 |  | There is a nasty, blind dog-leg on the Tesco Fulbourn path. I was hit, head on, by another rider as I came round this bend earlier this summer. The path continues straight on, to the left (see lady just emerging on a bike), but visibility is blocked by the hedge in front. There is also a path emerging from the back of Tesco car park, where the lady on the right is about to disappear. Visibility approaching this path is poor from the west, due to vegetation, and is non-existent from the east. Both of these issues can be easily addressed. 1. Cut back the hedge in front to give clear visibility. 2. Re-align the path to give a smooth dog-leg instead of the very abrupt realignment currently present. 3. Re-locate the path into Tesco so that it is away from the corner (to the west 50-100m), and cut back the hedge to improve visibility. There is | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 85757 |  | Going fishing! Much improved bollard arrangement where Carter Bridge ramp joins Devonshire Road. Personally I would have liked to see a centerline marked for 5m up the ramp to help warn of the bollard, but this arrangement is as clear as anyone could expect. Mind you, people still ride the "wrong" side of the post,, like this guy going home from a fishing trip. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |

| 85745 |  | Traffic and tranquility Location: Cambridge (England, United Kingdom) The path across Coe Fen, with nose to tail traffic on Trumpington Street beyond | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 85744 |  | At the duck pond Location: Cherry Hinton, Cambridge (England, United Kingdom) Cherry Hinton Hall | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 85737 |  | October mist at Coe Fen Technically a public footpath, as are almost all of Cambridge's traffic free cycle routes. The bridge was closed for several months for re-painting. It is a shame that it was not widened or a parallel cycle bridge installed at the time. The bridge is very narrow, far too narrow to pass, and it is very busy at peak hours with people both walking and cycling. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 85630 |  | Cargo trike The only way to travel for any self respecting toddler in Cambridge. Newnham corner is a bit of an awkward mess to negotiate unless you are heading up Barton Road. A widened pavement and a flat topped hump help. | Bicycle: Infrastructure bicycles | |
| 85629 |  | Midsummer Common Technically a public footpath, and rather too narrow for shared use. This is never the less a useful and attractive route. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 85606 |  | Carter bridge by night | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 85581 |  | Path between the Queen Anne Car Park and Parkside Pool Technically a public footpath, this path provides access to the cycle parking for the pool, and also links Gonville Place with Mortimer Rd and Mill Road. Visibility at corners is poor. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking | |
| 85580 |  | Grantchester path Technically a public footpath, very narrow (see how riders need to leave the path to pass), and with a poor surface. This is never-the-less a fabulous route into the city from the south. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 85579 |  | Parker's Piece Path across the Piece - technically a public footpath, but heavily used for cycle access away from the busy roads surrounding the Piece. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 85578 |  | Child trailer on Gonville Place Why would you want to reduce traffic on a road like this? Gonville Place used to have cycle lanes but they were removed in order to create an additional traffic lane to allow more vehicles to queue at the Hills Rd and Mill Road junctions. The result is a very hostile environment for cycling. The City Deal proposes possible traffic controls on East Road, Mill Road and Hills Road. That would transform this busy street, back to a quiet avenue. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 85577 |  | Carter Bridge Both the footway and cycleway are below recommended width, and this causes congestion in rush hour, but this is a very useful and popular crossing of the railway. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 85461 |  | Bakfiets Outside the Parkside Pool | Bicycle: Misc bicycles | |
| 85460 |  | Cycle counter Parker's Piece | General sign/notice: Good practice signs | |
| 85459 |  | Palmers Walk - home to a furious campaign by local residents opposed to the path being improved for shared use. | Track: Infrastructure track | |
| 84358 |  | Narrow and blind - the path under the railway bridge on Ditton Meadows. This is acceptable as a "temporary" fix, but a permanent solution is needed to give acceptable width and sight lines. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 84357 |  | Gratuitous pinch stile obstructing the path. Action - make the cattle grid full width with a bypass gate for dog walkers etc and remove the pram arms. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 84356 |  | Horningsea village is generally fine for cycling but can be a rat run. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 84355 |  | The footbridge at Baits Bite Lock is not cycle friendly. This is an important crossing point and should be easy to improve. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 84354 |  | Green End is a dead end. It SHOULD be a meeting of ways. 1. The Byway meets Horningsea Road at the point where the cycle track becomes far too narrow. 2. The footpath to Baits Bite Lock could connect to the towpath on the other side and so to Milton and Waterbeach with a suitable path and bridge. All need developing. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs | |
| 84353 |  | Fen Ditton High Street - an escape from the busy rat run that is Ditton Lane / Horningsea Road. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 84352 |  | Plenty of room here to widen the shared use path into Fen Ditton | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 84351 |  | The roadside shared use cycletrack narrows from "uncomfortable" to "you cannot be serious" as it enters Fen Ditton. For most of the way to the important High Street crossroads it could clearly be widened as there is little development on the West side of the road. Close to the High Street it becomes dangerously narrow and tight against the kerb. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 84350 |  | Not as bad as it looks, but never the less, a clutter of signal poles at the A14 slip roads | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 84348 |  | Cam towpath at Clayhithe Bridge | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 84347 |  | Clayhithe Rd - quite a busy rat run | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 84346 |  | Narrow path next to Clayhithe Rd. Note the lady cycling on the road, not the path. It is however a useful way to get on and off the Cam towpath. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |

| 84343 |  | Horningsea Rd cycle track | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |

| 83124 |  | I gave a little cheer when the Council finally gave up replacing the bollards at the western ramp of Carter Bridge, a few years ago. Sadly they are back, and badly positioned. The day they re-appeared I was not expecting to find a bollard directly in my path and I nearly collided with it. Although the bollards are placed centrally in the cycle track, the "effective" (ie usable) part of the track is not central on the track. The southern (station side) edge has a railing and overhanging vegetation, that reduce the effective width, pushing the centre of the usable path to the north. This is exacerbated by the bend in the path, and the fact that the path is well below the recommended minimum effective width of 3m. As can be seen from the photograph, most people pass to the "wrong" side of the bollard when coming down the ramp. This increases the danger of a collision with an oncoming rider, as well as with the bollard itself. These bollards are not needed, it is just an unnecessary hazard. There is a bollard at the east end of the bridge so vehicles cannot drive across it, and there is CCTV coverage in case anybody is stupid enough to try. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 83123 |  | Works at the western access ramp to Carter Bridge have been left unfinished for several months now. There does not appear to be any urgency to complete them. There are many hazards - trip hazards, uneven edges, projecting feet from barriers - to catch the unwary. I wonder what the Contractor's Risk Assessment has to say about them. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |

| 83020 |  | Mural in the underpass under the A14 on Mere Way | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 83019 |  | Mere Way A very pleasant byway that would make a great cycle route between Landbeach and Cambridge with surface improvements and a little vegetation management | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |

| 83017 |  | Hybrid cycle lane inside parking bays | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 83016 |  | Loading bay across hybrid cycle lane Rather incongruous, especially as there is a bus bay in the roadway just beyond. The raised kerb makes it awkward for a rider to go round a parked vehicle. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 83015 |  | Hybrid cycle lane - newly built | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 83014 |  | Cycle lane behind parking bays Location: Camden Town, London (England, United Kingdom) I have been a bit scheptical about cycle lanes behind car parking bays, because of the risks of being car doored, or potential for obstruction. This does seem to be working fine though. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 82969 |  | The A10 at Waterbeach. Conditions for cycling are poor. High speed, heavy traffic, lots of HGVs. | Road environment: Problem road | |

| 80773 |  | The path across the Leys Used by dog walkers and by children cycling to school. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 80772 |  | The footway alongside the A603 Wimpole Rd Used by primary school children from outside the 30mph limit when cycling to school. There is ample width to upgrade this to a proper shared path | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 76118 |  | Barton village - lots of poorly used road space | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 76117 |  | Cracks and steps in surface | Pothole: Problem potholes | |
| 76116 |  | Comberton Road junction - acres of tarmac to cross and an alignment that encourages fast traffic speeds. Approaching traffic is directly behind you as you approach the crossing and people enter the junction at speed. I have seen two collisions here in 2015, one of which left a cyclist injured. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 76115 |  | Crossing the M11(N) slip road - poor visibility. The road alignment encourages speed, and makes it difficult for people waiting to cross to anticipate which exit a car might be heading for. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 76114 |  | M11 bridge - some cyclists prefers the road to the narrow footway conversion | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 76113 |  | M11 bridge - path is much too narrow. See how far people ride away from the edge barrier, and how close that puts them to the kerb. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 76112 |  | M11 bridge approach - See how much clearance people give each other and how close that puts them to the path edge. This path could do with being wider here, and is much to narrow across the bridge itself. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 76111 |  | Gratuitous give way markings at farm entrance | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 76110 |  | You have to give way to traffic directly behind you - very difficult to anticipate and see. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 76109 |  | M11 Coton Rd roundabout - using the main roundabout in preference to the cycle track Location: England, United Kingdom M11 Coton Rd roundabout - using the main roundabout in preference to the cycle track | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 76108 |  | M11 Coton Rd roundabout crossing - busy, difficult, too wide, poor alignment | Road environment: Problem road | |
