| 112320 |  | Sula Lightship. Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. | Cycleway: Misc cycleways | |
| 112319 |  | High Orchard Bridge unmetalled Canal Towpath which is made of very rough old railway ballast and it is so uncomfortable to ride a Bicycle here. On the left is a kerb over the drain in the awful unfinished ground work. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 112318 |  | High Orchard Bridge. Here the Lifting Bridge has Shared Use Bicycle and Walking over the Canal and Towpath on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. The Shared Use Towpath is metalled here but not underneath the bridge. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 112317 |  | Llanthony Secunda Priory Bicycle Parking. Llanthony Secunda Priory is in Gloucester. The original Llanthony Priory is the Black Mountains in Monmouthshire. Gerald of Wales is associated with Gloucester. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking | |
| 112316 |  | Llanthony Bridge in Gloucester Docks. Bicycles and Walkers mostly cross the lifting bridge deck, with the odd Taxi and very rare Bus. | Dutch-style cycleway: Infrastructure dutchcycleways | |
| 112315 |  | Llanthony Road and Llanthony Bridge in Gloucester Docks. Mostly used by Bicycles and Foot, seldom used by Taxi or rare by Bus. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 112314 |  | Llanthony Bridge in Gloucester Docks. There is mostly Bicycles and Walking on the deck of the lifting bridge crossing over. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 112313 |  | Llanthony Bridge over the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal in Gloucester Docks. The Bridge only allows for Bicycles, Walking, Buses and Taxis. Dutch design lift bridge allowing for Ships and Canal Boats in Gloucester. | Dutch-style cycleway: Infrastructure dutchcycleways | |
| 112267 |  | Cheltenham with On Street Bicycle Parking in the Promenade. Car Shaped Bicycle Stalls showing how many Bicycles can be far more easily parked in the space of a car, which is a very poor use of the street space. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking | |
| 112265 |  | The beginning of the Bicycle road paint along Worcester Street which ends at the start of the designated on street parking on the left. Whilst on the right is the Advanced Stop Line (ASL) which is to enable Bicycles to go in front of waiting vehicles. It would be much better have proper Segregation for Bicycles with less space for cars. Above is the overbridge of the South Wales Railway. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 112040 |  | Turnpike House in Gloucester Road in Tewkesbury. There is no Segregated Bicycle Path or Cycleway here unlike in Kingsholm Road in Gloucester. Neither is there a Segregated Bicycle Path all the way to Gloucester. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 111961 |  | Turnpike House in Kingsholm Road. The start of the road paint for Bicycles towards Gloucester. Going to Longford it is better to turn left into Sandhurst Road and use the Shared Use Crossing as the Tewkesbury Road Roundabout and Traffic Circle is dangerous. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 111958 |  | Cycleway Sign. The Bicycle Path easily curves with a right angle view of traffic when crossing the road. No tight turns here for people on Bicycles. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 111956 |  | Shared Use Bicycle and Footpath with out Traffic Lights for Pedestrian and Bicycle users. Going from Tewkesbury Road turning into Estcourt Road which is a blind corner. The accelerating traffic from Tewkesbury Road Roundabout/Traffic Circle is dangerous. The volume of traffic on the dual carriageway is very dangerous to cross to reach Kingsholm Road and towards Gloucester. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 111954 |  | Copper Beech by the Bicycle Path. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 111952 |  | Traffic Lights on the Cycleway and Footway. The turn is tight across the road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 111951 |  | Cassies Crossing. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 111904 |  | Shared Use Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic Light Crossing in St Oswald's Road. Photo taken from Sandhurst Road across the road is Sandhurst Lane which does not have a Shared Use Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic Crossing or Traffic Calming. Some cars and vans go too fast turning left from St Oswald's Road when they should give priority to people crossing the road (Sandhurst Lane). Some cars on Sandhurst Lane turning left onto St Oswald's Road only look right but not left. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 111892 |  | A Wee sign telling people about Air Pollution. On the Middle of a post on the Shared Use Path. Priory Road is an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) which sign does not say. It does mention Bicycles and Walking. "Pollution Fact #1 Pollution builds up inside cars. Cyclists and walkers often breathe cleaner air than drivers." The sign has Gloucester City Council and National Clean Air Day official logo's. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs | |
| 111891 |  | Golden Opportunity to go into Gloucester City Center by Bicycle or on Foot under the trees. Deans Walk by the South Wales Railway. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 111848 |  | Red Alert! Red Shared Space Sign. The space of the road is supposed to be shared Cars/Bicycles/Pedestrians and 20mph upper speed limit in the upper part of Commercial Road. Maybe the vulnerable road user on a Bicycle or on Foot can find the area to be daunting, if motorists are aggressive then it can be dangerous. Red for Danger! The Shared Use Bicycle/Foot Traffic Lights is in front of the Red Sign by Gloucester Docks. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs | |
| 111555 |  | Seen from the Bicycle Saddle this beautiful Maple in Deans Way. This Street has an official 20mph Limit as well as Traffic Calming. The Traffic Calming reduces Rat Run car use making the Street Safer for Cycling. The streets in Kingsholm are still littered with cars as the parking has not yet been reduced. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 111554 |  | Hare Lane has easy access for Bicycles to go into Gloucester City Centre as well as leave. It is forbidden for cars to enter here but they can go out along this part of the street. The Bicycle has better mobility in the historic city centre by Ye Olde Fish Shoppe. Gloucester's Oldest Fish and Chip Restaurant. | Destination: Good practice destinations | |
| 111553 |  | Under the Arches of the South Wales Railway. Park Street left which is one-way and Hare Lane which is two-way. Going by Bicycle into Gloucester City Centre then Hare Lane only is used whilst going out towards Kingsholm and Longford then both railway under bridges can be used easily. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 111546 |  | Coach and Horses, Gloucester. The Blue Sign suggests left to Longford and Kingsholm, but that doesn't seem right judging by the map. This is Hare Lane and if you take everything out of the blue you will be made into an auld hare! | Route sign: Problem routesigns | |
| 111544 |  | Dangerous Cycleway Design forcing the person on a Bicycle into the path of the prevailing traffic. The Zebra Crossing has been built out for Pedestrian safety yet adversely comprises the Cyclists safety. The SLOW road paint is where the person on a Bicycle would have made an awkward turn onto the carriageway just in front of the Zebra Crossing. Some people on Bicycles get trapped by the sharp corner in the kerb forcing them to stop by before moving out. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 111542 |  | Here there is road paint which shows the Bicycle Lane marking end yet the kerbs allow for Bicycles to turn left from Kingsholm Road into Sandhurst Road. These Hatching Diagonal Lines are more for the errant motorists which are inclined to park in an area used by people on Bicycles. Sandhurst Road can be accessed by Bicycle in all directions whilst cars have a No Entry Sign with cars only allowed to turn out into Kingsholm Road. A person on a Bicycle turning left here can avoid the dangerous Roundabout/Traffic Circle at the end of Kingsholm Road. The Traffic Circle has Kingsholm Road/St Oswald's Road/Tewkesbury Road and Estcourt Road with heavy traffic. The Person on a Bicycle can use the Shared Use Bicycle Traffic Lights in St Oswald's Road and can then use the Shared Use Bicycle and Footpath into Tewkesbury Road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 111534 |  | Estcourt Road has some Cycletracks from the Inter War Era. They could be updated into proper Dutch Style Segregated Bicycle Paths. Here is the Shared Use Bicycle and Footpath. The work to improve the Crossings with Safe to use at the busiest junctions Traffic Lights at the Traffic Circles/Roundabouts at either end of Estcourt Road is very much needed as the Crossings are dangerous. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 111531 |  | Around the Houses. There are Barriers Galore on this Shared Use Path. A very long and slow way to go around the Houses. These Barriers hinder everyone on Foot and Bicycle. They could be removed and replaced by tactile paving. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 111485 |  | The Shared Use Bicycle Path is Segregated from the Motorised Road Traffic. However it does not go all the way to Tewkesbury. Here there are distances measured in time not mileages which is not very useful as people travel at different rates and there are Crossings over Roads ahead. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 109538 |  | Trearddur Bay Strand. | Destination: Misc destinations | |
| 109537 |  | Trearddur Bay/Bae Trearddur Bicycle Sign with no place named but pointing to Holyhead/Caergybi. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 109536 |  | Painting on the Gable End advertising Garys Cycles in Sligo. | Other: Good practice general | |
| 109533 |  | Garys Cycles in Sligo. | Other: Misc general | |
| 109238 |  | Bicycle Parking at Sligo Railway and Bus Station. The Shelter for Bicycles is not big enough and is not fully enclosed from the rain that comes across the Atlantic. | Other: Problem general | |
| 109235 |  | A Wee Sign on the Kingfisher Trail and National Cycle Network in Enniskillen. This Wee Sign points in the way to go but does not say where ye will end up in Ulster. | Route sign: Misc routesigns | |
| 109120 |  | Awful Anti-Bicycle Obstruction under the South Wales Railway on Alney Island, Gloucester. A Mental Metal Contraption to stop Bicycles on the National Cycleway Network. It locks people out with Dutch Bicycles, Tandems, Wide Handlebars, likewise the Mobility Impaired will be hindered. This useless Blockage is under the low height Bridge with no Warning Signs Under the Low Bridge. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 109119 |  | An Awful Obstruction under the South Wales Railway Bridge by the River Severn on Alney Island in Gloucester. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 105169 |  | Direction signs for Newent Cycling Loop. This picture taken from the Double Decker, Stagecoach West 32 Bus. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 105168 |  | Newent Cycling Loop Direction sign in Glebe Close, Newent. | Route sign: Misc routesigns | |
| 105167 |  | Newent Cycling Loop sign on the side of Newent Library owned by Gloucestershire County Council. Very good to have a map which is in the middle of Newent. It can be seen near the bus stops. | General sign/notice: Good practice signs | |
| 105151 |  | This sign is located on Horsefair Lane in Newent on the traject of the Newent Cycle Loop. It informs people using motorised road vehicles that, "This is NOT an empty road." Alongside the roadside greenery there are the stark red warnings of animals and people that are likely to be about, adults and children walking, deer, sheep, someone on a bicycle, a tractor, a horse and rider and a wild boar. These images in red of wildlife and people have the red letter caption, "I CARE DO YOU?" Underneath there is a family group with the black letter caption, "WE WALK HERE." | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 105053 |  | The Protected Bicycle Path is segregated here from the road with the bus lane and general traffic. On the left is the Bicycle Counter next to the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Further along is an example of good design with the Bicycle Path going around the Bus halt/stop which has a shelter. This section of North Road in Cardiff is safe to use on a Bicycle as it is protected from traffic. | Other: Good practice general | |
| 105052 |  | A Bicycle Path that is segregated with separate walking then the road with the bus lane and general traffic. Here is a Bicycle Counter at the Welsh College of Music and Drama in North Road in Cardiff. | Other: Good practice general | |
| 105050 |  | Utterly ridiculous sign for people using bicycles on the Bicycle Path. It is not clever to have End of Route when the Bicycle Path carries onwards. Likewise the Cyclists Dismount sign is also silly as the side road is seldom used and is gated for a warehouse. This is Gavel Way in the area of the former Gloucester Cattle Market. The Bicycle Path is protected here which is good but the priority over the side streets is not given which is bad in terms of design. To compare the Netherlands, which would have priority for people on Bicycles and road vehicles turning into the side street would have to be ready to stop for the person using the bicycle crossing over the side street. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
