| 105871 |  | Conceptual cross-section for Chesterton Road with protected cycleway, separate footway, and an avenue of trees in planted grass verges. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 104528 |  | Cross City Cycling scheme in progress, improving shared-use pavements on either side of Horningsea Road - B1047. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 104527 |  | HB2 double height kerbs stops pavement parking perhaps | Road environment: Good practice road | |

| 103590 |  | Current state of transition between Whitehouse Lane & footpath parallel with Darwin Green orbital cycleway. Whitehouse Lane is primarily being used as a haul road for construction right now, it has a broken up surface & is busy with construction vehicles. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103589 |  | Temporary orbital cycleway in Darwin Green construction site. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103588 |  | Reinstated footpath in Darwin Green construction site parallel to future orbital cycleway. About 2m wide. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103587 |  | Footpath under construction in Darwin Green, parallel with future orbital cycleway. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103586 |  | Temporary orbital cycleway in Darwin Green construction site. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 103585 |  | Reinstated footpath with sealed surface. Appears to be 2m wide, in a 4.5m-ish corridor. Orbital cycleway should run in parallel with this when works are completed. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 102666 |  | Stepped cycle track with painted priority over side roads. Dropped kerb technology leaves something to be desired here however. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 102665 |  | They don't like music here. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs | |
| 102664 |  | Quiet country road up the hill to Aurel Vlaicu and the monastery. Marked as having a 'cycle track' on OSM but quite clearly it should have been marked as a recommended 'cycle route' instead. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 102663 |  | Yellow line on the pavement - 'cycle infrastructure' in Sighișoara. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 102579 |  | Some of the villages around here had surprisingly very high quality pavements along the country roads and quite a few people cycling. I'm told that cycling has been a common means of transport for villagers for over a century. Unsurprising since it's cheap and simple, and probably only became more dangerous when car ownership levels rose in relatively recent history. From Google Streetview it looks like these pavements have been recently renovated, which explains the quality. (Location may be off, since we were just passing through) | Other: Good practice general | |
| 102578 |  | An attempt at providing lightly segregated cycle infrastructure, here shown at a roundabout, including a walking and cycling priority crossing. The quality is poor but it's clearly a starting point for a city where not much is expected. Surprisingly, I only saw one car parked in the cycleway; given that drivers here seem to selfishly shove their cars into any and every available space, perhaps that is progress. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |

| 102575 |  | Horribly wide roads filled with insane amounts of motor traffic. Very unpleasant for everyone. This is no way to build a city. Sad to see the consequences of car-crazed planning visited on the people here. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 102574 |  | A wide pavement with a really crummy painted cycleway and pavement-parked cars. This side of the city seemed to have worse infrastructure than the other side. But selfish pavement parking is widespread here. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 102573 |  | Pavement parking is the scourge of Romania. | Road environment: Problem road | |

| 102571 |  | Paint is not infrastructure, Bucuresti edition. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 102570 |  | 'End' of a bidirectional protected cycleway. Joins with another cycleway (coloured red) in a weird, 90-degree fashion, controlled by signals. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 102569 |  | A right-turn lane for cycling, controlled by signals, in addition to a bidirectional protected and segregated cycleway. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 102568 |  | Separate cycling traffic control signals based on lane. A little crude-looking compared to Dutch or even London examples, but effective. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 102567 |  | Easy-boarding bike share | Bicycle: Good practice bicycles | |
| 102566 |  | Protected & segregated cycleway in Kielce at a traffic signal junction. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 102565 |  | Protected & segregated cycleway at a traffic signal junction in Kielce. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 102563 |  | Compact roundabout with parallel walking/cycling priority crossing & bidirectional segregated cycleway as well as Zebras across the cycleway for pedestrians. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 102518 |  | Compact roundabout with Zebra crossings in a small Romanian city. Not unusual though, pretty common junction type all over the country. I just happened to be passing through and thought I'd snap a photo. There's also somebody cycling in the roundabout, which I only noticed when I got home and looked at the photo! | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 101421 |  | Where the path meets the perimeter road the highway engineers provide safe crossi... just kidding, they don't give a shit about you, you're just some schmuck on foot or a bike. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 101420 |  | Eventually the spine path turns into this. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 101419 |  | Path guardian. | Other: Good practice general | |
| 101418 |  | Unmaintained path unceremoniously dumps you onto roadway. Someone left me a trolley, how thoughtful. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 101417 |  | The Spine Path had some nicer parts that were well maintained and landscaped (despite the dry season killing the grass, sadly). | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 101416 |  | Path almost gone. Like pushing through the jungle. Except I can hear a very wide and fast-moving roadway on the other side of the hedge. No doubt the roadway is well-maintained, after all, it's for motorists. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 101415 |  | Degraded path. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 101414 |  | Path junction with no visibility splays at all. Clearly not designed for cycling, nor for personal security. Very anti-social design, with the buildings turning their backs and presenting blank walls to the path. Unsurprisingly nobody wants to be here... | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 101413 |  | Access to the library from the path network. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 101412 |  | Part of the network of 'safe' paths within Bar Hill. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 101411 |  | One of the entryways to the network of 'safe' paths within the development. Sadly, one of the better ones. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 101410 |  | Can you see the entrance into the network of 'safe' paths within the development? | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 101409 |  | Exclusionary barrier blocking one of the main paths inside Bar Hill. Of course everyone just goes onto the grass... | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 101408 |  | Bridge in poor shape along path, steep upstands on either side as path settles. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 101407 |  | The only cycleway connecting to Bar Hill dumps you onto the big wide perimeter road where you are left to fend for yourself against speeding motor traffic. Rather defeats the point of having safe separate paths... | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 101406 |  | exclusionary barrier preventing use of the path by tricycles, mobility scooters or other types of cycles | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |

| 96498 |  | Someday this may form part of a 'strategic cycleway' on the west side of Hobson's brook. This part was done differently to the others, and it's clearly incomplete. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 96497 |  | Someday this may form part of a 'strategic cycleway' on the west side of Hobson's brook. This might be a semi-decent stab at filtered permeability / cycle street network. The bollards are OK. Maybe a little close, and of the unforgiving wooden design, but otherwise OK. They completely failed at building a flush interface between the two surfaces, though. This is quite a sharp jolt, especially for someone in a tricycle or recumbent. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 96496 |  | Someday this may form part of a 'strategic cycleway' on the west side of Hobson's brook. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 96495 |  | Bridge to the nature reserve, not yet connected to anything on this side. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 96494 |  | Interesting desire line, maybe, on the way to the bridge over the brook. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 96493 |  | Bridge to the nature reserve -- at least it'll be nice when it's done | Other: Infrastructure general | |

| 96483 |  | Ridiculous 'Cyclists dismount and use footway' sign. Meanwhile, the works are preparing to narrow the shared-use path in order to create yet another traffic lane! It's like I stepped into a time machine and ended up back in the 20th century, with the incessant and insane road-widening monster rolling on... | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 96479 |  | Rollercoaster footways, undulating up and down. They had complete freedom of design and lots of space, and yet they managed to build the footway in the worst possible way! | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 96478 |  | New busway junction that prioritises a tiny amount of motor traffic over walking, cycling and public transport. | Road environment: Problem road | |

| 96473 |  | New busway junction that prioritises a tiny amount of motor traffic over walking, cycling and public transport. Note that the car has just blown past a sign reading 'No motorised vehicles except buses' | Road environment: Problem road | |

| 95758 |  | The bus driver did not break the law here. Toucan crossing appears to show 'green man' at the same time that the bus driver receives a green light. In fact the green man is for the crossing parallel to the bus, off to the left of the photo. This is a user-interface failure, similar to twitter.com/MattTurnerSheff/status/954749924557639680 | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 95757 |  | Newly constructed Cross City Cycling scheme but the '2.2 metre wide' refuge is considerably narrowed by the poor placement of poles. And seems to be a trash collection point as well (probably due to the wind). | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 95443 |  | New crossing of B1102 near Anglesey Abbey. The refuge appears to be approximately 1.8 - 2 metres deep. Although this seems to be the same length as a typical bicycle, you would have to be extraordinarily confident to try and wait in this refuge while cars raced past you. My perception while using it is that my wheels were overhanging the edges and would be clipped by passing cars if I tried to wait. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 95442 |  | Someone's enjoying the new cycleway along field edges near the B1102 quite a bit. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 95441 |  | New cycleway behind hedges along field edge near B1102 | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 95440 |  | New cycleway along hedges by B1102 | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 95439 |  | End of the new cycle route connects to small street through business park. Seems a bit confusing to people about the best way to navigate it. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 95356 |  | Forest of bollards. Good luck trying to get your bike through here on this 'national cycle route', much less a tricycle or adapted cycle of any sort. Typical masochistic 'infrastructure' brought to you by Sustrans. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 95355 |  | Ramp to railway bridge on NCR12 in Crown Lakes. Somewhere under all this moss and corrosion is a pathway that was built long ago and never maintained. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 95354 |  | NCR12 just east of railway bridge in Crown Lakes. Muddy path. Nice views though. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 95353 |  | NCR12 muddy route through Crown Lakes | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 95044 |  | This used to be thick with trees but also a fairly awful / steep path link that the college decided it had to make worse with chicanes & a cyclists dismount sign. Unsure what's up, but it's all gone now (the sign has since been removed entirely). There's been a lot of construction works on the lot, so it may be some redevelopment. | Other: Misc general | |
| 94793 |  | Looking at the end of the new pathway from across the road, Anglesey Abbey-side. Somehow an informal uncontrolled crossing is going to be installed here. There's no possible way the refuge is going to be large enough for a bicycle much less anything else. The connections at either end are the weaknesses of this otherwise decent scheme, unfortunately. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 94792 |  | Unfinished end of the pathway across from Anglesey Abbey. Not yet surfaced. | Cycleway: Event cycleways | |
| 94790 |  | Field-edge pathway, separated from highway by hedge. Will be very nice when done. Not yet surfaced. | Cycleway: Event cycleways | |
| 94789 |  | End of hedge separated portion of pathway - connection unfinished - machinery still in place. | Cycleway: Event cycleways | |
| 94787 |  | Beginning of on-highway verge-separated section of path - the connection between the hedge-separated portion and here is not yet complete. | Cycleway: Event cycleways | |
| 94786 |  | New pathway, in this section there is a 0.5m-wide verge. Less separation than standards call for but certainly much better than what we had before (nothing), and connects to very nice hedge-separated pathways. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 94785 |  | Pathway gets a nice healthy 2.5m-wide verge for a bit. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 94784 |  | Hedge protected pathway | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 94783 |  | Unfinished section of pathway | Cycleway: Event cycleways | |
| 94782 |  | Pathway behind hedges again for a bit. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 94781 |  | Unbuilt end of the pathway | Cycleway: Event cycleways | |
| 94780 |  | Unbuilt end of the new pathway for now | Cycleway: Event cycleways | |
| 94779 |  | Where the new under-construction pathway currently ends, at the edge of Stow-cum-Quy. If I recall correctly, it will continue a bit further -- when fully built -- rather than unceremoniously dumping you in national-speed-limit territory. | Road environment: Event road | |
| 94528 |  | More recently the county has painted a left-turn arrow in the left-turn lane, and it looks like they are adding ASLs to the junction. This is still, however, a terribly dangerous junction design because it tells people cycling that they should position themselves to the left-hand-side of left-turning traffic, with no visibility (especially for larger vehicles). This junction exposes just how much of a lie the so-called 'safety audit' process is. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 93444 |  | I hope that someday this junction will be made safer, for her and everyone else. | Road environment: Problem road | |
