Milton Road southbound at the corner with Union Lane benefits from a advanced stop line. But how does a cyclist get to it if the bus & cycle lane is blocked by buses and taxis?

Milton Road northbound. The lane is to narrow for cars to overtake cyclists safely.

Rush hour traffic on Milton Road. In some section cars northbound move marginally faster than bicycles. Nevertheless motorists often choose to overtake dangerously on the narrow lane to hit the brakes behind the next car...

Milton Road northbound. Cyclists may choose to go on the on-pavement cycle way, giving way at every junction, or continue on the road "under the wheels of buses and impertinent motorists".

Milton Road crossing with Arbury Road. No Advanced Stop Line, no cycle lane. Left-turning traffic is given green light while cyclists wait in limbo. Very poor layout, very intimidating. Not "Cycling Demonstration Town" material...

A cheeky little sign post on the right hand side indicates that the the cycle lane ends here, some 8 m before the traffic lights at Arbury Road. Most school children cycling here don't notice...

Between a concrete mixer and a turning car... Milton Road northbound, crossing with Arbury Road lacks Advanced Stop Line and a cycle lane. Left-turning traffic is given green light while cyclists wait squeezed between cars. Very poor layout ... [more]

Milton Road with Arbury Rd / Union Ln. The crossing is missing an Advanced Stop Line for bicycles northbound. At this crossing, there is no provision for cyclists going north/towards the Science Park.

Milton Road in rush hour. Speeding mopeds, fast cyclists, taxis, buses, slow cyclists, pedestrians, wheelchair users, lots of stationary cars and soon a "guided bus".
