FeedPhoto listing showing an obstruction (other)
The highest rated, most recent photos are listed first. See also photomap view.
This listing only shows photos within a square radius of 15 kilometres of the centre of Cambridge.
Go to the national CycleStreets photo listings for photos beyond.
Hand over all your carrots if you want to get through! (The National Trust's Konig ponies are supposed to be wild, but they're getting street-wise.)
Interesting and perhaps clever use of bollards to slow down cyclists at a busy entrance to the Sedgwick Site from West Road. You can still cycle through but have to wiggle, which slows you down enough, but not too much to be a pain. But the ... [more]
The positioning of this sign is really annoying, but on the other hand it does force you to slow down as you negotiate this rather narrow and entirely unsatisfactory shared use arrangement.
Seemingly pointless gate on this connecting route between Green End road and Gainsborough Close.
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONG9O1UxpT8 Not so much of a problem to me, but anyone coming the other way is completely stuffed. The temporary roadsigns make no reference to a closed cyclelane in either direction. The only ... [more]
This is an example of a modern removable bollard, splendidly adorned with two large reflective bands. This one appears to be branded Autopa.
Concrete blocks restricting the maximum possible width on NCN 11, east of the Reach Lode bridge—latter is visible in background. Location approximate.
Rather bad photo of the end of a path onto this busy road. Cycle ride from Cambridge to Histon, through King's Hedges and Arbury.
After checking that the roadworks were really not operational we moved this sign clear of the cycle path. Reach Fair Reconnaissance ride - 2010
What is a cycle lane good for if cars are queueing in it? Gilbert Road needs to change! In this 4 min series: #21515, #21516, #21517, #21518.
There should be no cycle lane obstruction in Gilbert Road. In this 4 min series: #21515, #21516, #21518, #21519.
Gate and horse step-through on bridleway - not great for cyclists. Surface is also very poor for cycling.
Truck blocking cycle crossing while repairing the ironwork and pothole shown at #20321 (also the chap who offered me a 'drive-through Big Issue').
'End of Route' - permanently closed, in fact, due to the new access to the Cavendish Lab just west (see following photos).
Overgrown bridleway - but it's probably not a route to develop for cycling, as it emerges right on the M11 slip road.
Footpath to Dray Drayton - not accessible to wheelchairs and buggies, so why spend so much money on an accessible bridge just 100 metres south? or is there a plan to convert the footpath to a cycle route?
The cycle parking has been placed on the diagonal desire line between the road and the riverside foot/cycle path. . This is on a national cycle route. The curbs are higher than the old ones, and new 30cm high railings are to be inst ... [more]

Of course the road is open to pedestrians and cyclists, but the TRO can probably only be for a total closure.
Gridlock! The oncoming bus and car can't move because the roadworks takes up the whole of their side of the road (see #15796). Traffic coming the other way has filled the the entire length of the roadworks. Be careful cycling near these ... [more]
Park Street is a major pedestrian route into the city centre from Jesus Green. Despite a massive and empty car park right next to it the security staff choose to park their van in the mouth of this former entrance to the car park forcing a ... [more]
Footpath past Home Farm, Great Wilbraham - the landowners clearly don't want any bikes slipping through.
The obstructions on the approach to the bridge over Swaffham Bulbeck Lode. The bicycles exclusion seems to have been crossed out on the sign here, and other signs nearby.
Double barrier seen from inside the estate off Monkswell Road: Must cyclists and wheelchair users be kept out? See #13010 from cul-de-sac. Link between Southbrook Close (off Alpha Terrace) and the Monkswell area.
Double barrier seen from Southbrook Close cul-de-sac: Must cyclists and wheelchair users be kept out? See #13011 from inside the estate. Link between Southbrook Close (off Alpha Terrace) and the Monkswell area.
Negotiating a stile on the University Farm track. We are told that at this location "the gate next to it is normally unlocked and so this is not necessary".
In front of Anglian Home Improvements inconsiderate parking in part on MCL, part pavement, part double yellow line, part over the dropped kerb for cyclists causes an obstruction. The double yellow line is somewhat worn out, but continues we ... [more]
Typical situation on Hills Road. What are MCLs good for if cars (BT service van, number plate FL05 ZNH ) stand / stop and even park in them?
Why is this obvious route closed? But this whole area north of the Nanoscience building is very balkanised, with through routes blocked off.
Severe chicanes - these get in everyone's way. The clear desire line here surely calls for a crossing - like a raised table or zebra or toucan.
The small opening here successfully slows cyclists down when entering the newly-cycleable 'pedestrian' zone.
Approaching Broadway from Cambourne on the old airfield track. This barrier prevents motor vehicle access, but is sometimes over to the left to permit access. Take care if approaching in the dark! This path is likely to be upgraded as Camb ... [more]
Its a lousy quality photo, but here the bike is balanced on the 'pram arms' of this access.
