No cycling or walking infrastructure

Sign needed here to point to Gatwick Airport. The path to the west looks like the correct route, which it isn't.

Junction needs a cycle route off the busy road eg left hand pocket with separate traffic light phase to reach Russells Crescent.

Signs needed to make the entrance to the subway more obvous when travelling south along route 21

Resign route 21 to use the new pavement cycle path.

Ressign national route 21 to use the cycle path under the railway not the road.

This whole section of route 21 is a national embarrasment. Hopelessly flooded and muddy yet its the Avenue Verte from Paris to London! Needs a massive improvement with proper drainage and rideable surfaces, not mud baths!

Flooded section here needs raising to stop the path being blocked next to the road.

Muddy surface starts at the edge of the road which is dangerous as someone will fall off into the traffic here. Needs a better surface for the first few meters of the bridleway as a minimum and ideally the whole path needs a much better … [more]

Create a Wandle Trail route under this bridge so people on cycles can avoid the horrible main road.

[Image taken 28.11.23] New Walk, York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location.] Climate resilience means safe and usable routes for non motorised users at all times. When the Ouse floods in York (many times a year) some or all of the … [more]

[UPDATE CYC response 27.11.23 "The current status of your report is: closed. The problem has been inspected and no follow up work is required."] [Image taken 25.11.23] The Stonebow, York. Extensive tarmac damage. The fissures are directly … [more]

Taken on 17 March 2023, the new and improved (?) steps which are difficult to use for abled bodied people and impossible for others. LTN 1/20 rules should be applied here.

[UPDATE 25.11.23 I saw the lights here and on Denning's Yard access were working again and the associated tech was gone.] [UPDATE 23.11.23 Compounded problems: #199482.] [Image taken 16.11.23] Crichton Avenue, looking south-east towards … [more]

[Image taken 16.11.23] Crichton Avenue, looking towards Wigginton Road, York. The mobile temporary lights unit massively impacts on a busy insufficiently wide shared use route. This is a blind corner on a steep slope. There’s no sign to say … [more]

Cycle path is being abused by local resident to drive car to park on grass by house. Replace the bollards and have a firm word with them.

Bollard in the centre of the path as you come round a corner. Remove as serves no purpose and is a hazard.

Far too many non-compliant chicanes on this path preventing accessible cycling. Remove.

Remove the barrier here to accessible cycling.

Upgrade the footpath to a properly surfaced bridleway to enable residents to cycle into St Neots from Rookery Road.

Upgrade the footpath to a properly surfaced bridleway to enable residents to cycle into St Neots.

Enable people on cycles to use the footways over the bridge to get away from fast cars and lorries.

Hedges to north of shared use pavement are very overgrown in places forcing people on cycles and foot too close to speeding cars using the road as a rat run to avoid congestion on the A421. Prune the hedges.

Phasing of the lights does not allow enough time for cyclists to clear the bridge before the opposite flow starts leading to conflict as witnessed today.

Allow shared use of the pavement to enable families on cycles to reach the traffic light controlled crossing of this very busy road.

Very poor muddy bridleway which ought to be a good safe cycle route to Shuttleworth museum. The Shuttleworth estate should give this a proper surface.

Very poor muddy bridleway which ought to be a good safe cycle route to Shuttleworth museum. The Shuttleworth estate should give this a proper surface.

Bridleway is very muddy badly maintained where it crosses the field but is advertised as a route to Shuttleworth for visitors.

Where the cycle path joins the footpath the surface of the shared path is narrow and slippery. Needs a proper wide surface as it's part of the Biggleswade Green Wheel.

Allow contraflow cycling

Re paint contraflow markings which are invisible so drivers know people on cycles can use this road and enforce the 20mph limit for cars rat running along here.

Lots of bad tree root lumps in this section of national route 12. Needs resurfacing.

Bridleway is very narrow due to vegetatation which needs cutting back. Poor muddy surface needs improving.

No safe crossing of the road from the permissive path to the cycle path. Needs a formalised crossing and dropped kerbs.

Need a safe crossing with island to get people on cycles and foot from the bridleway to the cycle path on the north side of the road.

Need an island in the road to enable crossing to the bridleway. Too many cars driving too fast.

Share use pavement is very narrow as the hedges on the west side need a major prune. The path is only effectively one bike wide and pushes people too close to fast cars.

Need an island to help people cross this busy road when cycling the green ring

Very muddy section here on Etonbury Green ring cycle path. Needs mud removing and resurfacing with better drainage.

Green ring path is badly erroded on the slope downhill, washed out by rain. Needs resurfacing.

Remove the cyclists dismount rule and give walkers and cyclists priority over cars at this car park entrance.

Allow people to cycle right up to the front door of the station along this path.

Busy road. Need a traffic light controlled crossing here.

Cycle path doesn't actually go around the corner here. Markings on the road direct cyclists onto the A road until the access point is reached 50 metres on. Needs a wider shared use pavement to be safe for families and children.

Horribly busy road with unmarked road crossing, not safe for 12 year old. Needs a toucan crossing.

Remove the barrier as not LTN 1/20 compliant.

NCN1 is a narrow muddy strip 30cm wide so horrible cycling and completely useless for anyone on more than 2 wheels. Fails the accessibility test and desperately needs a much wider hard surface.

NCN1 in a very poor condition with surface worn away down to the membrane layer under the foundations of the path. Needs a proper smooth accesible surface for all users.

NCN1 in a very poor condition with surface worn away down to the membrane layer under the foundations of the path. Needs a proper smooth accesible surface for all users.

Narrow cycle lane on a bridge - it would be far better to make the footway shared-use.

Signs needed to ask drivers leaving Wimpole Hall to drive slowly around people on cycles.

Allow pavement cycling to create a safe link between Church Lane and Wimpole Hall.

Allow cycling along this path

Loose sandy surface needs replacing with a surface which is safe to ride.

Narrow, needs widening to LTN 1/20 standards

Need a safe crossing here between what should be sections of National Route 12

Allow shared use of pavement from toucan crossing to Westminster Drive. Just needs signing.

Paths are shown on the Kettering cycle map as shared use but no actual signs on the paths. Make it clear the paths in this area can be legally used for cycling to encourage use

Upgrade bridleway with good surface to creat a safe off road path into Kettering via Wickstead Park.

Make this a shared path to allow direct cycling to the station entrance.

Create a direct cycle path from here via the station car park to the station to create a more direct route.

Very narrow shared use path. Needs widening to be safe.

Signs needed to make it clear if this is a cycle path or not. Also too narrow for safe use with pedestrians.

Path is very narrrow and needs widening to meet modern standards.

Path is very narrrow and needs widening to meet modern standards.

Path is very narrrow and needs widening to meet modern standards.

Cycle path has a poor surface so not easily useable by disabled buggies and wheel chairs. Needs resurfacing all the way to the west end at Minerva Business park.

Cycle path has a poor surface so not easily useable by disabled buggies and wheel chairs. Needs resurfacing all the way to Ferry Meadows.

Allow shared use pavement cycling north from here to the cyclepath to Ferry Meadows

Remove chicane barrier and replace with bollards if any are really needed.

Improve the route across the road here from the cycle path to the stub of Oundle Road which is the cycle route. Marked formalised crossing point needed.

Extend cycleway over A1 bridge and beyond the slip road to the A1 so east bound people on cycles do not conflict dangerously with cars.

Allow cycling on the footway to enable people on cycles to avoid crossing the slip road to the A1. Very wide junction with no protection for people crossing in front of cars.

Bridleway has a horrible muddy surface but could be a very useful link out to villages to the north east

Extend cycleway west along south side of Barton Road to join up with cycle way into the town centre

Extend cycle way on south side of road to at least junction with Warkton Lane.

Need a safer crossing of this busy road to enable people on cycles to exit the quiet estate roads and reach the cycle path on the east side of London Road. A toucan crossing needed.

Road is far too heavily trafficked for safe cycling. Needs a segregated cycle path along all of Shephall Way.

Modal filter being used for car parking so you have to cycle on the pavement to get past the parked cars. Yellow lines needed to ensure a clear path through for people on cycles.

Remove the barrier between the byway and road to make cycling easier for those on tandems and with cycle trailers. Poor.

Byway Open to All Traffic but in reality a narrow tarmac path, muddy in places in desperate need of vegetation management. Poor.
