FeedPhoto listing showing route signage (bad)
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.
The signs from 33032. Could so with being rationalised (a new NCN11 sign has been tacked on the bottom) and the road sign to the station is looking rather tatty. However, they're all useless thanks to the tree that hides them!
Can you spot the tiny walking and cycling route signs ? The one on the lamppost on the left says 'Rustat Road', and the one on the lamppost on the very right has symbols only.
Note the big uninformative cycle lanes sign contrasting with the smaller detailed and virtually illegible (from the riding position) directional signage.
The new Sawston to Babraham cycle route is signed as a footpath! Why is the county so scared of being seen to provide anything for cyclists?
Does this mean cyclists are meant to be on the footway? (partly obstructed by drivers waiting to collect children from school)
To reach the new cycle route from Whittlesford to Sawston, you have to use a footpath.
To reach the new cycle route from Whittlesford to Sawston, you have to use a footpath.
End of Cycle Route sign on one side of the road, cycle route signs on the other - a bit of joined-up thinking please?
Would it be so hard to add a little sign indicating the quiet cycle route to Cambridge a couple of hundred metres further south?
The West Cambridge site now has a peculiar road lay-out, presumably designed to discourage driving through the site, but which can confuse cyclists - better signage needed!
No exemption sign added yet for the contraflow cycle entrance from Mill Road into Mackenzie Road
'Farm Access Only' at the Girton end of Washpit Lane - not if you're on foot, bike or horse it isn't. As usual, road signs refer only to cars!
Another guided busway farce. The bridleway signage indicates 1 mile to an invisible development on the outskirts of Cambridge: Impingham.
The shared-use footway, north side of road, has End signs at every sider road crossing. It is poorly maintained and not used by reasonably confident cyclists.
Badly placed End of Cycle Route sign - in fact this is the start of the cycle route alongside the Addenbrookes Access Road, to the left.
These sign posts on Jesus Green, by Jesus Lock, are pointing in the wrong directions.
There is a badly placed cycle route sign here: i/ It is ambiguous - does it mean go up the ramp and over the bridge, or down the river? ii/ It is obscured by the railings
The sign in the centre of the image indicates a cycle lane towards Croft Holme Lane. Croft Holme Lane is a rather intimidating stretch of road for cyclists and it has no cycle lane. See also #3120, #16530, #16531. The sign featured as "spo ... [more]
Union Lane, Chesterton, Cambridge. This view shows a hard to see poorly angled cycle-route sign, the purpose of which is not clear.
Signage blocking cyclists' and pedestrian's line of sight of cars coming around the A10/M11 roundabout. Addendum: This is now resolved. See http://www.camcycle.org.uk/map/location/15085/
Confusing and silly signage, which is contradictory and at the same time fairly useless as it gives no directional name. Who knows what the difference between the blue and black signs are?
Cycle track on the southeastern side of Addenbrookes - in theory it ends after less than a hundred metres, still 30-odd metres short of the bike sheds. Obviously cyclists continue riding past the bus shelter.
What's the point of the new blue sign? To tell cyclists they can cycle on the wrong side of the road?
No access for cyclists to the cycle parking in front of the Grafton centre - surely with a 5mph limit it should be perfectly safe?
No sign at all that there's a cut-through to the Trumpington park and Ride and Waitrose
Elizabeth Road / Milton Road roundbout. Shared use pavement interrupted between Highworth Avenue and Arbury Road. Signs are contradictory.
End of cycleway restriction sign. The sign basically tells cyclists that they can un-dismount from the "cycle route" around the Grafton Centre.
NCN51 goes to the Park and Ride site via Tiptree Close on the left here. Give yourself 10 points if you spotted the little blue sign.
Girton Road northbound totally inadequate and dangerous shared use. Dangerously narrow "cycle lane".
