96510Photo #96510Recently constructed junction on one of Warrington's signed cycle routes. Unfortunately, cyclists do not seem to have been considered in the design. It is not possible to ride the line of the route (towards Hall Street #84869) and there is no signing of the route. (the old sign #84870 has been removed)Road environment:
