Mandatory Cycle Lane on East Road. Car parking on lay-by invades MCL with rear wheel right on top of the bicycle painted on the floor. This is the part where bicycle remerge onto the road from the pavement. The obstructing car (number plate ... [more]

East Road. Cyclists leaving the subway cycleway bypass round the Newmarket Rd roundabout have to stear around street furniture. This rainy day Mr Mondeo took care of blocking the dropped kerb, despite of the big bicycle painted right in fro ... [more]

Dismounting on a cycleway. For drivers this is the equivalent of having to get out of your car and push! This obstruction badly lets down the Cambridge South East Cycle Route - which was built in the early 1990s as an alternative the the b ... [more]

Roadworks sign - was anyone aware that this would force cyclists into the path of oncoming taxis from the station, SUVs from St Mary's school etc ?

Roots under the cycle path

Over-grown bypass lane on 60mph section of road! The Fulbourn 30mph zone should be extended beyond the pinch-point, and the bypass lane kept clear. Reported to County Council.

The dis-used bus stop is too narrow, cars park on the pavement with one side and obstruct the mandatory cycle lane on the other. This picture was taken on day two after Ian Greasley forwarded message to the "Local Authority Parking Enforcem ... [more]

Pram arms on the cycleway (note the cycle symbol on the ground and the directional signage in the distance.)

#1709, nearby

Pram arms on bollards, and then a fence. They really don't want you to get past here, and the graffiti says "Time to die".

#38168, nearby

At entrance to cattle grid for the bridge - the gateway has been deliberately narrowed by the Council. It's now dangerously narrow especially for trailers. Please explain what this is trying to achieve - and then remove it! Thanks

#38100, nearby

Both cattle grids for the entrance/exit from Trumpington Road traffic lights are partially obstructed by temporary fencing. This isn't safe for cyclists at this busy junction because it significantly narrows the grids and there is no warnin ... [more]

Several taxis AND a truck over-ranking on St Andrew's St

#37402, nearby

A bit of a squeeze due to no fewer than five over-ranking taxis - and the bus drivers are rather less considerate than this truck driver. Maybe a camera here coupled with the regulatory system for taxi drivers now being consulted on might h ... [more]

Busway flooding May 1 2012 after heavy rain

#37164, nearby

Large amounts of grit and stones on the new Cottenham - Histon cycle path, makes it quite hazardous if you need to turn or stop suddenly. I suspect that a recent heavy rain event caused a large puddle on the road and the subsequent wash ... [more]

Obstructive parking at pick-up time from Newnham Croft School is getting to be a problem again.

Cyclists coming from water lane turning right onto green end road face a hazard from cars. Cars going towards Milton Road (approaching from the left) will happily follow another vehicle over the roundabout without looking for a cyclist. V ... [more]

#36065, nearby

Useful link spoiled by these awkward chicanes. Why do the designers of these things not appreciate that all they have to do is slow people down, not force them to do awkward wiggles?

#36066, nearby

A dropped kerb here would be very helpful.

#35983, nearby

Ugly and very tight pram-arms make this river access point a little more awkward and unpleasant than it really needs to be.

#35691, nearby

Could you drop the kerb near where the alley comes out, please? It's a good cut through avoiding the road, but there isn't a kerb drop nearby.

#35475, nearby

No access from the Grand Arcade cycle park to the Grand Arcade!

#35473, nearby

24 hours after it began snowing - road clear, cycle track unrideable.

#35282, nearby

Provide a suitable way for cyclists to get onto the busway cycle track. The bridleway just to the North is a death trap with a base of loose cinders intermixed with sharp wires and other rubbish, designed to give punctures.

#35241, nearby

A bike ride between Cambridge and Babraham. This gate and narrow gap next to it would be hard to see at night. This path is a bit rough and not suitable for small wheeled bikes.

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, ... [more]

If I remember well, there's two barriers near tesco that make almost impossible to pass with a bike trailer and my kids on it.

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 the ... [more]

Thoughtless allowing of a hot potato vendor's larger stall on Parker's Piece. Moving it to the right a few metres would solve the problem

A new barrier has appeared where the cycleway into Cambridge Science Park crosses the guided busway track. This is a very dangerous obstruction as it forces cyclists to execute an awkward and distracting manoeuvre when they should be watchi ... [more]

This gate does open briefly to allow staff and students access to Chesterton Community College. But it seems that local residents prefer it to be kept shut at other times. Its quite a long walk / cycle round.

These new posts obstruct cycling along the Cam , off the surfaced path, between Cambridge and Grantchester . The bridge was paid for by taxpayers money. I think the county council should seek to adopt the cycle and foot paths on the meadow ... [more]

This could easily be an excellent cycle route but I have to choose between mud or gates.

This could be a useful, safe, cycle underpass but I have a choice of getting muddy or wrestling with the gates.

Why does this new development have all this dreadful caging?

Why does this new development have all this dreadful caging rather than a direct pedestrian crossing?

#33236, nearby

Poor entrance to Addenbrooke's

#32928, nearby

The bushes along the path are overgrown for quite a distance, pushing pedestrians and cyclists onto the grass. The footing is less firm, and there could be an accident.

#32669, nearby

There is a 'no cycling' sign here, which I'd argue belongs to a less enlightened time. This path is wide and quiet. The only possible problem is the blind corner. Perhaps a polished metal plate as a mirror would solve that.

Property management and scaffolding vehicles blocking the contraflow cycle lane yet again.

See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3hiDXyCHBQ There's a lovely route from the town centre back to my place. However, I only do it when I've got time to kill. It's a bit further that the straighter road route, but if that was th ... [more]

A smoother way through this gap would be good - the cobbles are uneven, and the addition of a disabled parking space has made this worse.

The barriers here are rather un-necessary because there is no pedestrian traffic immediately beyond, and there's plenty of visibility before the footway.

Much of the nation's reserves of steel are kept here. Can you tell from this photo where the pedestrians are supposed to be?

The utility of this useful cut through is destroyed by these ugly and over-zealous barriers which do much to spoil the street environment here. It is possible to slow cyclists down without making life difficult and unpleasant for everyone.

A useful walker and cycle access rendered horrible by over-zealous barriers. All they need to do is to slow the riders down, not make life difficult for everyone.
