Cycle parking at the Rutherford Building, West Cambridge (with some of those awful old 'high-density' racks in the background)
No dropped kerb - wheelchairs cannot get from the car park to the Civil Engineering building (there's a gazebo on the footway to the left).
The only way from the car park to the Civil Engineering building - with a No Cycling sign at the end
Why on earth are they so determined not to let people get through to the Civil Engineering building?
If you're cycling on the shared-use footway, there's a temporary ramp and diversion. If you're using the on-road cycle lane, you're a bit stuffed.
This looks unofficial but in the corner of B&Q car storage area is one space hashed out and with a blob of tarmac to make a smooth transition.
#Amazeballs the @wfcouncil #WhitneyRdE10 #ModalFilter off of #LeaBridgeRd goes from strength to strength! Gorgeous. Thank you to the volunteer gardeners who tend it and bring us this splendour!
[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. The blue cycle route sign in the background on the right indicates the access to the less steep of the two slopes from/to Scarborough Bridge. The shared space here is just about adequate. Peopl ... [more]
[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. Ahead is the lower of the two serpentines of the less steep of the two slopes from/to Scarborough Bridge. Today, to reach here from the underpass from Bootham Terrace, for example, you had to ... [more]
[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. On the left is the access to/exit from the steeper of the two slopes from/to Scarborough Bridge. The camera is therefore beyond the conflict area and closer to the less steep slope. Images toda ... [more]
[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. This pedestrian showed one desire line: he came down from Scarborough Bridge, stepped over the low fencing and set off across the car park. There are no diversion signs. Images today: #168694 a ... [more]
[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. No access from the car park to this end of the shared use route closest to the less steep slope to/from Scarborough Bridge. This point is beyond the congested/conflict zone at the access to/bas ... [more]

[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. No way through the car park. No diversion. The steeper of the two slopes to/from Scarborough Bridge is visible in the background, right. The shared use path is not wider at the base where peopl ... [more]

[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. There were NO signs warning people that the route was limited to the one between the rail line and edge of the car park. Many users of this route do not want to put themselves at risk of or inc ... [more]
[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. This cyclist with child trailer is only just able to get through the 107cm gap. On this side, the foot of the fence panel is 25cm wider than the barrier. Further image this rig see: #168696. Al ... [more]
[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. 107cm is only just wider than this cycle with trailer with children inside. The other side of the barriers, there's a pedestrian 'queuing' to get through. I also believe the foot of the barrier ... [more]
[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. 107cm is the width of the access to the shared use route that links the station, schools, parts of the city on either side of the river, and used by... everyone including people with sight, phy ... [more]
Flooding across the West City Way in Kelvingrove Park. Not as deep as the previous time I went through it.
The person seen in #168687 gets frustrated at the lack of green signal on the cycle track and moves into the main carriageway to cross St Vincent Street legally on the Elderslie Street green.
Lack of cycle priority at cycle traffic signals on Elderslie Street. This person was already waiting as I arrived, when traffic on St Vincent Street had the green. See also #168688.
Traffic-calming with a wide clear cycle bypass - the two to the north are nearer trees and are not so clear.
Two-tier covered cycle parking at Whittlesford Parkway station - Sheffield stands are available elsewhere.

[Image taken 2.5.21] Rowntree Park, York. These two cycles fit but they are unadapted and unadorned. There are no child seats, panniers, baskets... They are not the norm for a park (see: #168295) or York (see: #165594). You cannot 'roll in' ... [more]
[Image taken 26.4.21] Lidl, James Street, York. This cycle is occupying more space than those shown in illustrations for cycle parking. Perhaps due to the bag on the handlebars. Perhaps due to the quite steep slope here. Another reason for ... [more]
The signs from #33032. Could do with being rationalised (a new NCN11 sign has been tacked on the bottom) and the road sign to the station is looking rather tatty. However, they're all useless thanks to the tree that hides them!
The north-south cycle route is fairly clear, but there's no indication that this is a shared-use route to Whittlesford Parkway station.
The farm road is even more firmly closed off now - surely it's time to remove the nonsensical Cyclists Dismount signs.
Recent placeholders
168718 Footway connection between bypass and footpath on north river bank- 168717 Paths need widening to make them safer for the public, too often you see young mothers having to walk on the road
- 168713 For my bike parking
- 168710 No footpath on this stretch of very dangerous road. Used to be very popular for a walk but too much traffic now.
- 168696 In the car parking area behind No's 32-42 Tranton Road there are always empty parking spaces. There is also plenty of space around off the street - please use that area for a few of the loop cycle hangars - i would happily rent 3 or 4 spaces straight away.
- 168693 More cycle parking required
- 168692 Cycle parking outside the Job Centre.
- 168675 Add pavement here - this would actually make Bramley Road a cul-de-sac with access from Glenfield Road - this would make the road along path safer and reduce cut throughs - Please add trees and flower beds
- 168669 No pavement on a very busy road no zebra crossing - both are very much needed - it is impossible for me to get across the road like a lot of disabled.
- 168587 Very narrow road, right outside a school entrance. Cars use it as a shortcut to avoid lights at Edward St/Richmond Place.
- 168586 Reduce speed limit to 30mph from Beggars Lane to Braunstone Cross Roads, cycle lanes are not fit for purpose except when for when standing traffic
- 168577 Pavement is wide enough however people always park their cars on it, despite the No Parking signs on the wall, meaning pedestrians have to walk along the road.
Oddly, bollards have been added to pavements in other (much quieter) areas of this estate but not on North Side between Autumn Drive and Fall Pass where pavement parking occurs regularly each day.
