Photo #12506

Gates found in various locations in Petersfield and Romsey. These closure points are an extremely effective way of making the area very permeable and accessible for cyclists and walkers but stopping rat-running by vehicles.

A central bollard rather than gates would however be preferable as that would avoid people having to wait as sometimes happens when two cyclists approach at once from opposite directions.

See also #12504 for the same location but without the cyclist in the picture.

Illegal parking on Kingston Street is rife. The street itself is perfectly wide for two-way cycling.

Looking down Kingston Street - still marked as a one way street.

The "No Entry" signs at the far end of the street have been replaced, permitting cycling, but three "One-Way" street signs have been left behind - creating ambiguity.

"Beware oncoming cyclists" sign in Kingston Street. Hopefully this (currently needed) signage will soon be able to be removed as people become more used to the principle of two-way cycling in one-way streets, totally common on the continent ... [more]

There appear to have been no changes made to the road markings or layout at this end of Kingston Street in light of the change to permit two-way cycling. The one-way street signs that remain here are in conflict with the no-motor vehicle si ... [more]

Cycle parking needed here - perhaps shift the car parking on Hooper Street up by one?

Barriers temporarily opened here during the Mill Road Winter Fair. For the rest of the year, whilst a barrier is needed to stop through-traffic, this photo shows how much easier cycling through here would be if the gate were replaced wit ... [more]

Another example of selfish parking on Kingston Street. The pavement is totally blocked, forcing a mother to push her child down the middle of the road.

Emergency access gate and cycle cut-through—forming a very effective solution to rat-running, Hooper Street.

Bikes absolutely everywhere near the Kingston Arms on Kingston Street, due to lack of cycle parking (there are zero stands) here.

Cycle parking needed in this area, near the Backstreet Bistro in Petersfield. Cycle parking could go at the end of the car parking row, on street.

The appearance of railings in Kingston Street immediately results in piles of bikes being attached because of the shortage of cycle parking (there are zero stands) here.

Its not uncommon to find people walking along the middle of the road in these streets, where parked vehicles, bins and street furntiure heed progress on the pavement.

Ainsworth Street. Despite being very narrow due to parked cars, two-way traffic is permitted and creates little difficulty for cyclists. Compare with Kingston Street, which is wider but where two-way cycling is not permitted.

The result of the lack of cycle parking: pavements blocked. This was taken early-evening outside the Kingston Arms, on Kingston Street, where there is zero cycle parking. No wonder theft rates are so high.

Near the Cambridge Blue pub. Some signposts (council-owned) now have signs up threatening to remove bicycles left against them, reducing the number of safe places to leave bikes.

Why not have residential cycle parking instead of bollards either side of the crossing here? There is a hairdresser opposite which would also benefit.

This build-out would be an ideal place for much needed cycle parking.

It's clear that moving the central reservation across by 1.5m would create space for a much-needed cycle lane on Hills Road

Many cyclists create their own advance stop line at the lights on Hills Road - needs to be formalised in the clear interest of safety and convenience
