Gate obstructing route off Parkers Piece when heading to or from Lensfield Road. Produces holdups and pedestrian-cycle conflict as it's a heavily used route which is busy in both directions most of the day and especially during the morning ... [more]

The reflective strips on the black-painted gate at the exit from Parker's Piece show up well in the flash from a camera. Otherwise the gate is almost invisible. Visible or not, it narrows considerable the route on and off Parker's Piece, fo ... [more]

Parkers Piece - gate on corner nearest Catholic Church is locked. There are two bases / preparations for bollards (square lids on the ground). See also #20392 and #20574.

This is now the nearest cycle parking to the Catholic church (background), with the racks packed and bikes locked to fencing too even when there isn't a service or concert at the church.

Bollards on Parker's Piece (which were installed to stop instances of cars driving onto the Piece) forming an obstruction. This is AFTER changes were made following a request by the Campaign.

Problem associated with the ice rink on parkers piece - all the vehicles have churned up the park here creating a hazard for walkers and cycling. UPDATE: We've received assurances that these items will be dealt with [22 Nov, 4pm]

Gate obstructing nearly all the width of the Parker's Piece North South path, forcing pedestrians and cyclists into conflict over space.

Gate blocking the cycleway across Parker's Piece - stupid and annoying. How ridiculous to expect all cyclists to get through that narrow gap. And if this gate is to stop vehicles getting onto the green space, well it has clearly failed. ... [more]

A pothole with a depth of about 1 inch, but 18 inches across near where this cycle path meets Regent Terrace at the southern corner of Parker's Piece, Cambridge. The hole was left there following the removal of a bollard. Reported to ... [more]

The well used cycle racks here are unusally rather generously spaced out here. The number of racks could probably be doubled.

Conflict at the Parker's Piece gate - this little chap was dawdling and his mother wasn't paying attention.

Rush hour on Parker's Piece - a surprising number of cyclists come across the diagonal and turn left to the Gonville Place crossing.
18 metres
It's interesting how many cyclists turn right here - an asphalt path on the far side of the sign would be helpful.
18 metres
Conflict at the new Parker's Piece gate - the near cyclist nipped through and swerved around to the right of the cycle stands.

Cyclist passing the new gate on Parker's Piece at a pretty awkward angle, having given way to another cyclist.

New gate across path reduces usable width and causes conflict between cyclists and pedestrians. Becomes even more awkward to access when taxis are parked next to it.

Bollards on Parker's Piece (which were installed to stop instances of cars driving onto the Piece) forming an obstruction. This is before changes were made following a request by the Campaign.

The new gate on to Parker's Piece now locked open, with reflective strips attached.

Cyclists queueing to turn right onto Gonville Place in the morning rush hour.

During the morning peak with large numbers of commuters and school children cycling in both directions this gap is redicoulessly narrow, as it lets only one cyclist (only one direction at a time) through. All other parts have bollards, this ... [more]

Parkers Piece - gate on corner nearest Catholic Church is locked. The two bollards are sunk into the ground. See also #20389.

There's a new gate across the entry to Parker's Piece. That's right, you can't see it, it's black and there are no reflective strips.

This stunning award-winning public convenience at the edge of Parkers Piece, has plenty of cycle parking, no need to try and lock up your bike to the poles (which are widened at the bottom to stop bike parking!)
29 metres
No need for hundreds of little blue signs on poles. The meaning of these logos on the pavement is perfectly clear.

New system of street maps now on the streets of Cambridge. The maps are oriented the same way up as the way you are facing - rather having North = up.

New gate onto Parkers Piece funnels all cyclists and pedestrians through a ridiculously narrow gap

Quite a lot of cyclists turn right onto the footway between Regents Terrace and Regent Street. There would actually be space for a segregated lane, but the junction at the end would be problematic.
34 metres
Cyclists waiting to turn right from Regent Terrace to Gonville Place - tricky, but at least traffic speeds are mostly low. The child on the right is just sitting on the bike's rack.
35 metres
08.40 - almost no traffic at the Catholic Church junction, thanks to an accident at the Royal Cambridge Hotel roundabout. If only the rush hour was always like this!

Metal gate (illegally?) obstructing the shared use cycleway across Parker's Piece, causing conflict between cyclists and pedestrians, and contraflowing cyclists. Remove it and raise revenue by imposing hefty fines for illegal vehicular incu ... [more]

Detector loops, now reinstated, buried in the cycle path remove the need for push button units on the cycle crossing. One day they will be used to change the lights in anticipation as a cyclist approaches, instead of forcing cyclists to ... [more]

View of the Gonville Crossing now reverted to a 'parallel crossing' after spending the spring and summer in Toucany. The parallelograms marked in the cycleway in the foreground of this picture are the detector loops. However there is not ... [more]

Totally unnecessary use of a temporary 'cyclists dismount' sign at the new Gonville Crossing while under construction. No motorist would withstand such nonsense.

The new Parkers Piece side approach to the Gonville Place Toucan. Cluttered with poles. Can't see the crossing indicators (nearside only) which are hidden from view on approach.

I found this while going through old documents as part of a clear out. It shows a photo of the newly installed Gonville Place crossing, and it reads: Cambridge South East Cycle Route Opening 28th November 1989 by Robert Atkins - Minister ... [more]

This heavily used eastbound route in Central Cambridge has uneven, brick paving in the gutter of this 30 mph limit road. The brickwork's uneveness, slipperiness and rutting make it particularly difficult for cyclists, especially as they t ... [more]

The sharp turn after crossing Gonville Place toucan crossing. As shown, many cyclists cannot make the sharp turn without straying onto the opposite side of the 2-way cycle path. This is definitely worse than the old crossing as 1. the chang ... [more]

Gonville Place Toucan crossing. This new post for the main signal head is positioned right in the center of the cycle track, making for a very aukward manoever. This is complicated further by the presence of pedestrians walking in the cy ... [more]

New, very new, coloured road surface on Gonville Place crossing - there were workers on the crossing when I passed over at about 1015, but it was finished when I came back at 1250 (Sunday morning). Cars were queuing for traffic lights, but ... [more]

Hi, There is a long stretch of Regent Terrace, adjacent to Parker's Piece, which is reserved for car parking. Why not set a portion of this aside for cycle parking instead? Regards, Mr T

Contractors' cars turning Parkers' Piece into a car park. Why is this being allowed to happen?

Parkside students are mostly incapable of not cutting across the grass here (a well-worn trail).

Nowhere to park bikes here (officially), but such an obvious need, and there\'s plenty of space.
77 metres
On Sunday, this stretch of Regent Street is like a car park, as parking is free. But is there any cycle parking? None whatsoever.
79 metres
All bollards gone at this crossing, which has reverted to a 'parallel crossing'. Note the no-right turn which is there to stop cyclists turning into pedestrians who are using the crossing to the right, right?
