[Image taken 17.7.22] Jockey Lane junction with Kathryn Avenue, Huntington/York. Moving around Monks Cross on a cycle ought to be easy, intuitive, family- age- disabled-friendly, for example: #184962. It ought to be a destination or a reason to ride for everyone. This location with its 'End of Cycle Route' and nonsensical 'Cyclists Dismount' signs is just one example (see another here: #184963) of why it’s difficult and dangerous to navigate. If you’ve reached here along the off-road segregated cycle path you are now dumped. How do you reach the road? How do you know it is safe to join it? You can't see behind you to the right to see if there is a motor vehicle approaching... Another route to that road is via the crossing to the right. It’s a toucan. But when you get here there are those signs... How do you reach the road that heads left from this point? The reasons for turning left are because it leads to… the LNER stadium, a pool, a play area, a climbing space, Vangarde shopping area, and… Aldi – see: #184970, #184971, #184972, #184973. Other image today and links: #184962.
