Terrible road surface on NCN route 11 towards the Cambridge Biomedical Campus

Lynn Rd is too busy to be safe as a national cycle route. Either make the west side footway wider and usable for cycling or divert the route completely to a different road.

New haul road and diverted cycleway (NCN route 11) for construction of Cambridge South station. Note the lowered fence to give a bit of leeway for handlebars.

Parallel cycleways - good signage is needed at the junction behind the camera

Start of new haul road and diverted cycleway (NCN route 11) for construction of Cambridge South station

Scheduled to be part of NCN11 throughout 2024. Mostly 2.25m wide, some just 2.0m. Low fence separates it from Cambridge South railway station construction haul road.

Work in progress to add NCN11 diversion path alongside haul road from Addenbrooke's Road roundabout.

Work in progress on phase 1 of NCN11 diversion between Discovery Drive and Addenbrooke's Road. Haul road on the left heads for the rough track between Discovery Drive and the bridge embankment. NCN path joins Discovery Drive until the … [more]

The right turn here towards Cowhollow Wood is rendered hazardous by the combination of steep gradient, loose gravel, and uneven bricks.

Signs at the Jane Coston Bridge state: Route 11 is interrupted between Lode, Wicken and Ely, follow Route 51 to Bottisham. For NCN route 11 to Lode, Wicken and Ely, follow Route 51 to Bottisham.

Amazing potholes considering this is a dead-end for motor traffic - but it's a National Cycle Route and a vital route to Addenbrooke's, so let's hope it gets fixed.

There are potholes everywhere in what used to be a civilised city, but an added annoyance is the amount of gravel thrown out of them, especially on Trumpington Road.

Cambridge South station construction site, and NCN route 11 (the Genome Trail)

I think this means cross the road and then turn right on the on-road cycle lane, but it's not clear

Road giving way with lengthy longitudinal cracks easily wide enough to swallow a cycle tyre. This one appears to have been touched up by sprinkling some gravel into the whole. A very ineffective treatment.

Roadkill by Chaston Road, a Woodpigeon on NCN11.

There's a constant cycle of building and renovation work on Porson Road (NCN route 11) so of course there are huge potholes.

Replacing placeholders #178373 and #62746 - Pram handles on the pedestrian route mean pedestrians always use the cycle route, blocking it. Please remove unnecessary pram handles.

Cycle parking and crossing of NCN route 11 towards Ely Cathedral

Meandering footpath to the left, more direct shared-use path to the right on NCN route 11 - there used to be a segregated cycleway sign (#17892) but it's vanished.

Since NCN route 11 was re-routed through Jubilee Gardens, the obvious link to Ely station is through this car park.

Trail river bridge north ramp: base tarmac done, top layer still to do?

A sign to Sawston has been added!

Terrible infrastructure on NCN route 11 - there's shared-use footway where it's not needed (and no dropped kerb) and then you're thrown out onto the road where a cycleway to Station Road would actually be useful.

NCN route 11 crossing the A505, with a bit of shared-use path southbound only.

Northbound cyclists have to turn onto the island then wait for a gap in the traffic on the A505 (twice).

Road off NCN route 11 to Strethall church - it's not a dead end for cycles.

It's worth the detour off NCN route 11 (and it's not a dead-end for cycles)

Turn left behind the camera for NCN route 11 - there are arrows before and after the junction, but not actually at the turn.

National Byway sign - it would be good to have a sign for NCN route 11 too.

Slightly misleading signs on NCN route 11 - do not go up the bridleway.

Of course it's more important to have a statutory lawyer's notice about trespass on the busway than a usable sign for the National Cycle Network.

This is NCN route 11 south from Ely - not an impressive start.

Raised cycleway by about fifteen inches to get a bit above the flood. This path is the only alternative to the busy fast road over a footway-less river and road bridge.

This cycleway does not give way to driveways - these cycle markers should be enough for all users.
