34884		Overflowing with bikes! Many towns and cities in the UK are envious of Cambridge's level of cycling, but here the council has been slow to understand and respond to the demand with the result that cyclists are blamed for blocking access.	Cycle parking: Problem

34796		The issue is in the bus/cycle lane westbound on Newmarket Road, at the junction with Ditton Lane. It's sort-of an obstruction. The traffic lights for the bus/cycle lane default to red unless there's a bus with a transponder coming. However, I can't see any reason that a cycle only green filter couldn't be added here if it is also green for the adjacent normal traffic lane. I'm not suggesting it should be green when traffic is emerging from Ditton Lane - it can just go off at that point. At present I merge into the main traffic lane if I can, but that can be difficult as drivers are unfortunately not keen to let me in. Alternatively I (rarely) go up onto the shared use cycle path alongside, but the pavement is busy so it's a bit antisocial for pedestrians, and I usually find myself unable to merge back onto the road later on. I have seen other cyclists just go through the red lights :-/ I think this would be useful and harmless to any other road users. Thanks.	Obstruction: Problem

34584		This type of cycle rack was called the "Austrian". Ten years after these were originally installed they are still available from: http://www.broxap.com/cycle-storage/cycle-stands Unlike many bike racks which are symmetrical these racks have a 'handedness'. If you push the front wheel into the slot then any cycle light on the offside will get squashed. So these racks are really for countries where you ride on the right, not the UK where we ride on the left. OK, I know I need a better picture of a bike using the rack to illustrate what I mean more clearly. Anyway, these racks which were installed as part of a Cycle Theft Redcution Project in 2001 were ripped out when the Grand Arcade was redeveloped, see: http://www.camcycle.org.uk/newsletters/92/article13.html	Cycle parking: Infrastructure

34501		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi1foaNB_Ik You can't see very much here. A car coming towards me, then at about 10 seconds a sudden wiggle back and forth. This is me suddenly hearing brakes engage hard of a bus right behind me. I turned around them about 1 yard off my back wheel. My heart is going right here. Wow, the driver just missed taking several tons of metal right through me. Whilst passing the driver did redeem themselves by waving an apology ot me.	Enforcement: Event
34500		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYnclvBAkDg The car was a little irritating and only caused a slight jam of the brakes. The cyclist that followed without looking (you just catch the front wheel in the clip) caused considerable wobble despite me allowing for them!	Other: Misc
34499		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD_fCbnJ9I8 As a cyclist you are allowed to use your mobile phone. This isn't too difficult to understand, you are on a much slower vehicle that isn't capable of quite the destruction of motor vehicles. However, you do have a responsibility towards other path users. It's not clear here, but the second cyclist coming towards me looks up about 50 yards away, then goes back to concentrating on their phone without paying any head to other path users. By not being aware of what others are doing, they bumble around in the centre of the path then almost force me off with a sudden late (unassessed) move.	Enforcement: Event
34498		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwB4GVSIfVE Two all too familiar offences. Yet another driver ignoring the law about ASLs. All too common. The Highway Code Rule 178: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070332 And, what can be expected when my fellow cyclist decides it's fine to jump the red light at a busy junction. Still neither action is an excuse for the other.	Enforcement: Event
34497		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCOjqyB7Zjo Sorry, poor quality due to starting clip whilst at speed! You should be able to make out that I'm approaching a left junction with a van waiting to pull out. Quickly becoming visible is a cyclist waiting in the right side of the opposing lane to turn right into the side road. Then a driver forces their car through the gap between both and the other cyclist. This is a new level of dangerous on this infamous road. I was jumpy about the car being less than 2 foot from me, it can't have missed the other cyclist by more than a foot. The numberplate begins with "KF51". Minimally, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314 As the Highway code picture shows, why isn't the driver all the way over the central line? Well, there's a bike. So with this case there's a strong argument for the next level up. Arguably, something along the lines of Careless Driving really should apply here. http://www.driving-law.co.uk/offences/careless_driving.asp	Enforcement: Event
34496		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpH3xmRSnjA First, the car in front slows to make a left turn without hooking the bike in front (well done!). I manoeuvre to get past the turning car quickly (after checking it was clear to do so!). I then start catching up the other cyclist very quickly and move to overtake (again, checking there was nothing right behind me). This taxi comes past me very quickly and far too close. Minimally, breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314 As the Highway code picture shows, why isn't the driver all the way over the central line? However, I then had a look at the clip frame-by-frame, comparing it to the roadmarkings and check distances using the measuring tools on Google Maps Satellite View. That's how I spotted that this driver was doing upwards of 45mph whilst in the 30mph limit. So that's why the driver had to do such a poor manoeuvre, they were going far too fast. And 45mph was a lowest value I could guess. So, a speeding driver breaking Highway Code 124 (and backed up in law in the RTA) endangering live and limb around them very close to a town centre. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070304	Enforcement: Event

34467		The metal bollards at this location (and others along the cycle path following guided busway) can't be seen in the dark, even with bike lights, as the bollards have no reflectors. Very dangerous hazard, suggest reflectors be mounted on them ASAP, as a minimum. The following was emailed to: 'cycling@cambridgeshire.gov.uk' With the end of BST it’s now completely dark along large segments of the cycle path running along the guided busway from Trumpington to the station. This is fine, I have lights, reflectors, bell, etc. However there are a number of crude metal ‘bollards’ about 50 cm high in pairs across the path at various points, and these are very dangerous now. I know of one cyclist who has hit a bollard near the Hills Road bridge end and injured his foot. These bollards have NO reflectors on them (they have some crude reflective paint, which I don’t believe works), and they are so low down as to be missed by the time you get closer enough to see them with your bike light (as they are not in your line of sight). At the very least what you need to do is put reflectors on them as high as you can (ideally on a soft plastic paddle at eye level, certainly not at ground level!). Also, put raised cats eyes on the path in a line leading up to each bollard, so cyclists will recognise a hazard is coming. A far safer bollard would not be so solid, and would be self-illuminated, a bit like those used on Radgund road (for example) near the speed humps. I’d say the council’s legal position would be tenuous if a cyclist had an accident on these metal bollards in their current state... surely they don’t meet current design regulations. BTW, I got some brilliant (and free) reflective stickers from the council cycling promotion team at parkers peace last year (which I use) – if you have any leftovers you could nip down and stick these on these bollard posts ASAP, to avoid accidents tonight... better than nothing, until a proper solution is designed! Also, it is so dangerous along this path in the dark sections where other users (walkers, bad cyclists, joggers, dogs!) don’t have any reflective clothing. There was a jogger in black clothes last night, the only thing I saw before nearly hitting her was a tiny reflective strip on the back of her jogging shoes. Not good. Don’t know how to solve it except education or speed reduction of cyclists to say 10mph (which is a real pity, it’s such a good surface many cyclists are doing over 20mph). Maybe some signs at the start of path like ‘Cyclists/Pedestrians must wear reflective items at night’, it’s surely common sense, but alas...	Obstruction: Problem
34466		Disabled access to short stay car park at Cambridge station	Other: Misc
34463		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBB5I6FqB2M I'm turning left and need some space to do so. This driver can't be bothered to wait and decides to ignore my safety for the gain of a couple of seconds. I check behind me at 3 seconds and traffic is far enough away. I indicate at 4 seconds and start the manoeuvre at 6 seconds. At this time I'd doing around 18-20mph* coming into a 30mph limit. So a car slowing behind me only needs to slow by ~10mph as they are about to enter the 30mph limit as well and shouldn't be doing much more than that. The car passes me at 10 seconds, despite having 4 seconds to slow by around 10mph. I took a second look at the clip frame by frame, comparing it to the roadmarkings and check distances using the measuring tools on Google Maps Satellite View. That's how I spotted that this driver was doing upwards of 45mph whilst in the 30mph limit. So that's why the driver had to do such a poor manoeuvre, they were going far too fast. And 45mph was a low value. Taking my first position guess would have put it more like 55mph. So, a speeding driver breaking Highway Code 124 (and backed up in law in the RTA) endangering live and limb around them very close to a town centre. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070304 Minimally this is breaking "Highway code rule 163". http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314	Enforcement: Event
34461		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0gjcSANqr0 Yep, not only do cars pass too close at times, so do cyclists. Of course if a car had been this close it'd have been really dangerous, a cyclist is not as bad. However, you do see me jump and move into the ditch when they come past having appeared silently from behind. Give me a bit more room, boys!	Other: Event
34459		See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF36M3D1ZNA Another example of cars, vans, coaches, taxis all parking up in the cyclelane directly outside Robinson College.

Highway Code Rule 240 (backed up in law) http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_069860 You MUST NOT stop or park on a tram or cycle lane Of course, when someone is seriously hurt there should be some question over whether Robinson College did enough to stop this happening. Clearly all these instances are connected with activities from there.	Enforcement: Event

The onroad cyclelane just disappears because the road narrows. Surely the one place cyclists need protection is when the road narrows? Note also that to get onto the offroad cycle path I have to shimmy round the front of the car joining from the left. Nothing wrong with the driver's postion, just poor infrastructure.

34451		No video with this. I've stopped my car to take the picture. Yet another driver ignoring the law about ASLs. All too common. The Highway Code Rule 178: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070332 Hope they do it on their test and fail.	Enforcement: Event

34248		My mother has been a keen cyclist for many decades and has now begun to ride a trike. She finally steeled herself to ride into town on Saturday only to find that the speed bumps/ bollards on Grange road are an obstacle for her. She is unable to squeeze between the pavement and bollard and the gap between the kerb and speed bump is also too small for the trike's rear wheels. It should be possible to reduce the size of the 'refuge' that the bollard stands on to take this into account. I feel sure that with an ageing population there will be more elderly people transferring to trikes and I think they should not be disadvantaged by traffic management measures. I suspect the policies should be reviewed with this in mind and I'd be grateful to hear your views.	Obstruction: Problem
