[Image taken 10.5.21] Marygate car park, York. The blue cycle route sign in the background on the right indicates the access to the less steep of the two slopes from/to Scarborough Bridge. The shared space here is just about adequate. People on cycles create a circular path when turning corners and this one is quite tight. The paved area with the pedestrian on it is shared. But access to this point avoiding the conflict and the congested area the pedestrian is headed for was, today, no longer possible through the car park. The lighter sections of wood are the ones that were used today to block the previous access/exit points. The fencing reinforces the no access message. There was no prior warning and there was no signage at all in place today. The white markings on the tarmac are the (presumably former) Tier scooter and cycle bays. Images today: #168694 and links
