| 164722 |  | I have no idea what this is supposed to do. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 164234 |  | An old modal filter that allows walking and cycling, but not driving. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 164233 |  | New cycleway entrance in Haslingden. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 164232 |  | New cycle route in Haslingden. A short section of the old footpath to the right has also been upgraded. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 164231 |  | New cycle route in Haslingden. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 164230 |  | New cycle route in Haslingden. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 164229 |  | New cycle route in Haslingden. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 161839 |  | Flooding due to recent storm | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 161838 |  | Blocked off entrance to the tunnel beneath the main road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 161837 |  | The blocked-off ramp down to the tunnel beneath the main road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 161836 |  | Another stupid, pointless obstruction on a brand new path. Why is this low barrier necessary, when bollards will do the same job? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 161835 |  | River Mersey was very high the day this photo was taken. | Cycleway: Event cycleways | |
| 161834 |  | An utterly pointless piece of fence that forces everyone through a narrow gap, in the middle of a global pandemic. How stupid is this? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 161833 |  | New link to residential streets from the new path | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 160671 |  | Cycle tunnel beneath the roundabout. High quality but needs cleaning of leaves and litter. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 160670 |  | Overgrown cycle infra here, very good but needs cleaning. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 160669 |  | Very good cycle infra to cross the motorway. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 160668 |  | Slightly overgrown but otherwise quite good cycle infra to cross the motorway. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 159526 |  | The correct way to filter the entrance to a walking/cycling route - with bollards. Not stupid A-frames. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 159525 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159524 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159523 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159522 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159521 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159520 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159519 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. Motorists have parked in this manner to stop other motorists driving along the pavement to bypass the filters. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159518 |  | Trial filter installation as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159517 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159516 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. The two planters have been moved from their proper positions by vandals. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159515 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159514 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 159513 |  | Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 157867 |  | Incomplete separated crossing for walking and cycling. Pedestrians press a button, while it looks as though cyclists will be detected by loops in the surface. The cycleway continues to the right (north) and turns left (northwest) down Newlands Avenue. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 157866 |  | This is a shared footway. A new entrance to a private business park has been built across it. This is really, really bad infrastructure. The islands are too small for long bicycles with trailers, the angles are severe and motorists will not be looking for cyclists approaching along the footway. This should be a continuous footway with priority given to those on it. But unfortunately, Manchester City Council don't have a clue how to build good walking and cycling infrastructure. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 157630 |  | Bolton Council seem to have run out of stripy paint and lit poles for this.....whatever it is. | Road environment: Infrastructure road | |
| 157629 |  | The new CYCLOPS junction at Bolton Trinity Street. This has made navigating this junction much safer. Unfortunately there are no sensors to detect the presence of bicycles, and users have to press a button to cross/turn. This is impossible to do without passing the STOP line. The buttons are also difficult to reach for some people with disabilities. | Dutch-style cycleway: Problem dutchcycleways | |
| 157628 |  | The new cycle lanes along Chorley New Road, ending prematurely at Beaumont Road. This is a major junction and cyclists should be given protection here. Ed (simon) these lanes are being used for motor vehicle storage, see: twitter.com/allpartycycling/status/1350064655339839492 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 157627 |  | New wider wand-protected cycle lanes installed along Chorley New Road. Unfortunately as of uploading this image, they end at Beaumont Road. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 154060 |  | Completely useless barrier that is a royal pain in the arse if you're pulling a trailer. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 152134 |  | The cycle crossings in this area are poorly maintained. This one doesn't drain properly, there's a big pile of mud which is a potential slip hazard for cyclists turning right. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 152121 |  | An extra beefy line has been installed here, although it will need wand protection to prevent intrusion by drivers. | Road environment: Event road | |
| 152120 |  | Temporary no-entry for motor vehicles and extra wide cycle lane for cycling, due to COVID-19 This filter makes a big difference, especially as at the top (and west) Deansgate has been temporarily pedestrianised. | Temporary closure: Good practice closure | |
| 151600 |  | Nice and simple access from the canal to the new cycleway. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 151599 |  | No dropped kerb to access the road and no way to access the cycleway on the other side. What on earth is going on here? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 151598 |  | This is ridiculous - how are you expected to cycle onto the road when there are no dropped kerbs and when there's a sodding great fence in the way? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 151597 |  | The surface on this cycleway is absolutely superb. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 151596 |  | Cycleways aren't just for cyclists... | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 151595 |  | The crossing is welcome but the approach is difficult to navigate. Cyclists do not ride in right-angles, they ride in curves, and so the approach should be curved. And the buttons can be difficult for someone on a cargo bike to reach without nosing into the road. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 151594 |  | These typical TFGM crossings are better than nothing but the controls are very difficult to see while cycling and the layout is difficult for a cyclist to navigate. Also, pedestrians and cyclists should not have to cross the road in stages. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 151593 |  | It's very nice to see such good access not spoiled by a silly barrier. This is excellent. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 151592 |  | While this is a welcome addition on this new road, the shared footway is too narrow. Valuable space has been taken by the armco on the left, which should really be on the right, taking space from the carriageway. If the barrier was on the right, it would also offer some protection to pedestrians and cyclists. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 151591 |  | While this is a welcome addition on this new road, the shared footway is too narrow. Valuable space has been taken by the armco on the left, which should really be on the right, taking space from the carriageway. If the barrier was on the right, it would also offer some protection to pedestrians and cyclists. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 151590 |  | The shared footway at the side of this new road is nice and wide and has an excellent surface. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 151589 |  | The shared footway at the side of this new road is nice and wide and has an excellent surface. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 151588 |  | The cycle lane merging like this is a nice idea, but it should be reinforced with wands in the chevron area. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 151587 |  | This gate should be modified to allow active transport, or at least some dropped kerbs added. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 151477 |  | Another example of the high standards that Bury Council maintains on this otherwise good cycleway. Who wouldn't want to cycle through a huge quagmire of mud, eh? And to those who aren't familiar with the route - there's a paved cycleway under that lot. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 149971 |  | A bodge job by Highways England. Please beware of this dangerous surface, which has been reported twice. | Pothole: Problem potholes | |
| 149824 |  | Cycle paths enable more activities than just cycling. | General sign/notice: Good practice signs | |
| 146391 |  | A very badly neglected path. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 146390 |  | And another barrier.... | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 146389 |  | Oh look, another barrier. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 146387 |  | This shared footway is ok, but is far too short to be worthwhile. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 146386 |  | A combined walking and cycling zebra crossing. | Road environment: Good practice road | |
| 146385 |  | More barriers, on a brand new surface cycle route. Why do cyclists have to put up with this rubbish? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 146384 |  | This barrier needs a wider bypass. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 146383 |  | I have no idea what this nonsense is supposed to be. Why is it there? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 146382 |  | Yet more silly barriers to walking and cycling. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 146381 |  | Someone has installed some very silly and pointless chicanes on this section of the A555 cycle path. These will do nothing but frustrate legitimate users. There's plenty of room to widen the path but despite this being very clear guidance from the government, the council haven't considered it. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 144947 |  | This hump (perhaps 2 feet high) of earth and tree roots is all that prevents easy access between the nearby housing estate and the route to Hollins Green. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 144945 |  | This hump (perhaps 2 feet high) of earth and tree roots is all that prevents easy access between the nearby housing estate and the route to Hollins Green. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 141482 |  | More pointless barriers. Cyclists aren't stupid. If there's a risk of conflict, put SLOW on the surface, as we do on the roads. Don't put these unforgiving barriers in. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 141317 |  | It seems that someone is annoyed that cyclists are avoiding the stupid barriers placed here. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 137954 |  | I agree with this sign - lots of motorists speed around these roads and some are impatient over this bridge. | Road environment: Problem road | |
| 115556 |  | Cycle parking placed in a lonely corner well away from the main entrance. | Other: Problem general | |
| 113813 |  | A really nice way to cross from one side of the road to the other. It's just a shame that you don't get a green man at the first change of lights. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 113810 |  | Although not yet complete the new road layout and protected cycleway is looking very good. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 113809 |  | An interesting little underpass. Bollards to keep cars out. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways | |
| 113808 |  | A new route, already flooded by about 6 inches. Clearly the path is too low. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113461 |  | Unfortunately a lot of engineering would be required to fix this flooding. The road isn't normally like this but it should remain usable 24/7 to be a viable route. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113386 |  | This track is badly flooded and covered with tree roots. Not recommended for cycling. | Track: Problem track | |
| 113374 |  | In case you accidentally walk out into the road... | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113373 |  | This could be a quiet shortcut but unfortunately the surface is very badly degraded. | Pothole: Problem potholes | |
| 113372 |  | This "cycleway" is a complete mess and nothing more than a very old pavement with a line of paint. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways | |
| 113371 |  | Watch your tyres! Kids are always hanging around under here, which explains the broken glass everywhere and litter all over the cutting. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113366 |  | This dark, unlit, narrow and filthy passageway with bollards at each end is on the Fallowfield Loop diversion. Would you use this at night? | General sign/notice: Problem signs | |
| 113365 |  | Welcome to the Fallowfield Diversion route. Would you use this unlit and muddy underpass at night? | General sign/notice: Problem signs | |
| 113364 |  | The wear on the left shows that many people choose to ignore this annoying chicane, which also serves as a point at which to mug users. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113323 |  | The barriers have been replaced with something less stupid, but it's unbelievable in this day and age that Sustrans, a walking and cycling charity, feel this is at all appropriate. WE DO NOT WANT BARRIERS TO ACTIVE TRAVEL. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113318 |  | Prohibited! | General sign/notice: Misc signs | |
| 113287 |  | New asphalt surface approaching the Mersey Gateway bridge, before you cross the canal. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 113286 |  | New asphalt surface beneath the Mersey Gateway bridge. Unfortunately the asphalt is ONLY beneath the bridge, the rest is compacted. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 113285 |  | New asphalt surface beneath the Mersey Gateway bridge. Unfortunately the asphalt is ONLY beneath the bridge, the rest is compacted. | Dutch-style cycleway: Good practice dutchcycleways | |
| 113236 |  | Possibly the grandest chicane/filter/obstruction I've ever seen. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113235 |  | This road west to Spike Island is in terrible condition, which is a real shame as it could be a good link to Runcorn. | Pothole: Problem potholes | |
| 113198 |  | This location is getting worse. The path is now inaccessible. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113197 |  | This popular walking and cycling route, which serves as an alternate route to the very busy main road, is dark and uninviting at night. There are streetlamps that do not appear to be the council's responsibility, and every one is dead. I have asked local councillors for assistance. | General sign/notice: Problem signs | |
| 113188 |  | A sharp, steep lip now prevents you cycling from the bridge onto the sealed surface. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113185 |  | Welcome to the National Cycle Network. Please go away. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions | |
| 113154 |  | The surface is a little forgotten but it's quite a nice ride along the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal. Access needs to be improved though. | Track: Misc track |
