This is an obvious, natural link from the Industrial area to the estates east of the North Road.
The existing uncontrolled crossing is bizarrely off line, introducing inconvenience for the sake of it.
All of that guard railing gives out all the wrong messages - "don't walk or cycle it isn't safe".
Recommendations:
1. Realign the crossing to the end of Willowside Way.
2. Remove guard railing.
3. Put the crossing on a broad raised platform to highlight its presence.
4. Put in cycle friendly traffic calming on North Road to bring speeds down, encourage cycling and discourage driving.

This is the desire line, the current path does not suit it. Relocate opposite Willowside Way - without barriers.

There is no good reason to ban cycling on this path. It would make a very positive traffic free link parallel to Burns Road without eroding the rights of confident cyclists to ride in the carriageway on Burns Rd. Recommendations: 1. R ... [more]

These cycle lanes are less than half the recommended width (2.0m) and are downright dangerous. Even at this narrow width vehicles habitually encroach making cycling absolutely harrowing. This is exacerbated by the regular central isla ... [more]

Dropped kerb needs extending to create a smooth transition to the roadway at the end of this cul de sac. Vegetation must be cut back as it is encroaching badly on the path.

The North Rd roundabouts are wholly unsuited to the urban residential environment and are thoroughly intimidating for cyclists. Wide, flared entry and exit, and a wide circulation lane encourage high speeds and poor attention to cyclists ... [more]

Another path suitable for conversion to shared use. Widen where possible and extend dropped kerb to make a safe crossover.

Remove barriers, widen where possible and convert to shared use. Maintenance of vegetation is necessary to prevent incremental loss of width.

This car has plenty of space to its right and yet it is ecroaching into a cycle lane that is already far too narrow - less than half the recommended (2.0m) width. The red car coming the other way is also encroaching on that cycle lane. ... [more]

The cycle lanes in North Rd are downright dangerous. They are far too narrow - at 850 mm here they are less tha half the recommended width (2.0m) and yet traffic STILL encroaches on them. The reason for the encroachment is a large islan ... [more]

A horrible build out opposite Rosia school. This is very intimidating for cyclists as cars try to barge their way through as you negotiate the gap. The need to make the crossing safer is obvious but there are much better ways to do it: ... [more]

The desire line across this meadow is obvious. Make a shared use path to the corner of Ermine Close. The tatty car park needs smartening up and making into an attractive public space.

Newbolt Has obvious potential as a shared use path. Needs to be widened and maintenance of hedges would need to be thought about but otherwise is ideal.

Racks set much too close end to end force wheels to overlap. Difficult to park and with risk of damage when extracting. Unforgiveable. Cycle parking is so easy to get right.
