'Removing obstructions' subgroup

This subgroup investigates issues surrounding obstructions in cycle routes.

Forthcoming meetings, if any, are listed in the diary of events.


Cambridge continues to develop a large network of routes that allow cycling away from the busy main roads. These routes can help encourage people, including young families, to get out of their cars. Although restricted access points are often required to prevent use by motor vehicles or to reduce conflict between cyclists and pedestrians, there are many examples where barriers are unnecessary or poorly designed.
