Dangerous scaffolding St Andrews St

Regent St. When requested PC 1532 spoke to this driver he said there was no where else to stop, despite a nearby vacant loading bay. The Officer said this was a LAPE matter. He is incorrect. If the adjacent crossing were 'normal' this location would have zig-zag lines tand this offence would automatically attract 3 penalty points!

With illegally stopped taxis there will always be a conflict between cyclists and buses at this location

Even with two PCSOs and a PC present the taxis remain

Taxis overranking and obstructing the informal pedestrian crossing

At 09:00 illegal unloading (which is also a breach of planning consent) causes serious problems for the hundreds of cyclists using this route.

Revolution are at it again.
Staff think it is funny when someone complains at the illegal, dangerous and obstructive unloading

despite warning notices motor vehicles still overtake cyclists in thse 3m lanes.
The pedestrian barriers now make it even more dangerous. I counted 30 overtakes in 20 min

New cycle parking outside Christ's Lane shops. 15 stands and 31 bikes. More stands are proposed (and required in this area)

New obstruction for cyclists at Addenbrooke's

Both the manager of the Co-op and the driver believe they have the RIGHT to break the clearly signed unloading ban, and believe I'm unreasonable to complain.

The driver of this illegally unloading Co-op vehicle wrestled me to prevent me taking further photos, and the store manager supported him

This young cyclist thought the 3663 lorry was waiting in the queue for the lights. I told her it was illegally stopped. She moved out crossing the centre line only seconds before a southbound bus !

The driver of this 3663 delivery lorry says he stops here to (illegally) unload every week and get a ticket

This tricycle, and trailer could not get through the new cycle gap 0f XXXmm at the start of Downing Street.

This is the 'Cambridge Blue' sandwich van parked outside their shop in Regent Street. I've spoken to the driver before and tried in vain to explain it is illegal. He says 'everyone does it'. Were it not for the 'cycle crossing' there would be 'zig-zags' here and his actions would be an endiorsable offence!

The phasing of the new Downing Street lights still means that despite there being a dedicated pedestrian phase, pedestrians cross at the only time cyclists can turn left or right into Downing Street. This cyclist took an innovative route to reach the contraflow lane

Cycles parked outside the new John Lewis store

The only nearby (insecure)cycle parking for the new John Lewis Store

The new 500 space cycle park under the Grand Arcade was lit but locked, and hence empty on the first day the new John Lewis store opened

If buses turn left from Downing Street they are likely to over-run the Advanced Stop Box for cyclists

In London Rd, Stapleford this car transporter had been parked overnight, totally obstructing the pavement partly the road

Long Rd cycle underpass on Aug 7th. All the box sections are in place and work has started on 'wing walls'

"Use cycle lanes where possible"-extract from 'bus and coach council' operators guide? ('dooring' lanes Trumpington Road)

This van was there at 08:30 and reported at 09:00. It was still there at 13:30. Police had attended but done nothing 'It won't be there overnight' driver reported.

The day after 'Revolution' (new name for pub) were supposed to have been read the riot act, this lorry was stopped for some 20min, and the driver laughed.

This new 'speed hump' is on a main cycle route to the station, and is well positioned to throw off cyclists making the turn on a wet day.

This road is an 'Urban Clearway' at peak times. It is also illegal to park HGVs on the pavement. The person responsible for works here was unconcerned.

This builder thought it was OK to park here.
Reported to police as incident 279 of today's date

I don't see where the 'new' cotraflow lane in CornExchange St is going?
from 'build-out' gap to otherside must be well under 4m?

First signs of new contraflow in Corn Exchange St. Look how close it is to wall, and how wastefully wide the island is!

New bollards blocking off 'cycle bypass' on Regent St. Cycles and other vehicle 'merge' at bus gate.
This arrangement should continue until gate is active (July 2007).

'Over-ranking' Taxis cause continual problems in St Andrews St. Cyclists get squeezed off the road by advancing buses who have moved over to avoid the taxis

Get a death!
This taxi driver told me to 'Get a Life' when I complained about his illegal behaviour.
Upto 500 cyclists per half hour use the contra-flow cycle lane he is so effectively obstructing.

This 'new' Give Way for cyclists does not work, cyclists cannot be expected to look right back over their shoulder, whilst going through the narrow gap

This vehicle was parked outside the Rat and Parrot for over 2 hours between 8:30 and 10:30, and despite requests no police action was taken. Stopping in this section of Downing Street is very dangerous, and here even pedestrians were force into the road. Repeat offences seem likely as apparently a change in ownership is occurring

Regular abuse of Mandatory Cycle Lane (MCL) in Shelford. Not content with illegal driving, this man makes rude gestures at photographer. Streams of cars do this each day, with some resorting to footpath as well.

It could help fix the situation shown in Gilbert Road at #28396
