The need to make the crossing safer is obvious but there are much better ways to do it:
1. Make a wide zebra crossing on a speed table, WITHOUT narrowing the road.
2. Introduce cycle friendly traffic calming both sides of the crossing like these:

Excellent existing path from Eliot Rd to Chaucer Rd. Convert to shared use.

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.

Realign path left (southwards) away from the fence to improve visibility. Widen path and convert to shared use.

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

The track next to the BMX club, part of route 2 in the 1998 NHDC Masterplan. Needs clearing, surfacing, and linking to the road network at the bottom end

Royston seriously lacks cycle parking. Apart from the station, the leisure centre and a few stands at the end of the High St there is NOTHING. The Coombes Community Center, like most public buildings is a obvious candidate where there is ... [more]

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

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]

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.

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]

The Berlin wall. There is no connection between these two estates that back onto each other. When new housing is built it MUST be porous to walking and cycling, encouraging short trips to be made without cars.

Hatching emphasises that this is a space for vehicles, not for people. Use more creative measures like different surfacing, visually narrowing the width, junction tables, removal of centerlines and priority markings etc to create a more ... [more]
