Before and after at this location - huge gyratory replaced with at-grade crossing. From Local Transport Today 427, 29th September 2005.
Advanced cycle lights - they're only activated if a bike is detected, otherwise the lights go to green for motor vehicles at once.
Off Highfield Road There's a half barrier at the end of this road which acts as a modal filter, meaning motor traffic cannot connect through.

[Image taken 29.8.23] Burton Stone Lane (looking south), York. Now this is a change - and good practice. The sign - aimed at some but not all road users - has not been placed on the pavement (compare with: #192697, #192698), but in the … [more]
[Image taken 24.8.23] Burton Stone Lane, southern end looking northwards, York. Dropped kerbs with raised road table. One of the few places designed for pavement users to cross this street. However, there is a blind bend yards from here: … [more]
Bollards recently added here - presumably to prevent the grassy area from being driven upon? Or perhaps (shudder) from being cycled upon... #108204 ?
[Image taken 16.8.23] Shipton Street, York. New H-bar. Painted today or late yesterday. Very visible. I hope it will be effective. There are many people in this area who use mobility scooters and wheelchairs. There are people who push … [more]
Churchfield Road Modal Filter - ETRO introduced during lockdown for quiet approach to Poole Hospital, and for access to local schools. Confirmed as a permanent measure, but awaiting final design.

Useful modal filter at this point makes the country lanes beyond much, much quieter and better for walking/cycling.
Seating areas and streetscaping introduced where there was previously some car parking and empty space.
Modal filter in Oxford, preventing formerly 2,000 vehicles a day rat-running through this neighbourhood. This one was featured on BBC Panorama in Summer 2023.
This crossing used to be one of the slowest in Cambridge but has been altered to change almost immediately! Fantastic for pedestrians heading for Cambridge station, and I don't believe it's holding up motor traffic at all. [Actually I think … [more]
Bristol is looking great and this is the best looking contraflow I have ever seen. https://t.co/xhENMNXpfm Location inferred from clever shop name Tuk Tuck: … [more]
A cycle slip for leaving the carriageway and joining the shared footway. An excellent example of how to provide for this manoeuver, but somewhat redundant in this case when there has been a shared footway along the other side of the road … [more]

[Image taken 22.5.23] Jubilee Terrace looking towards the junction (for cycles only) with Bright Street, York. The sign showing the wandering nature of the cycle route is new. Even if not detailed I think it has merit as it alerts people … [more]
[Image taken 22.5.23] Jubilee Terrace junction with Kingsland Terrace, York. This long established contraflow cycle lane meets none of the current standards. The recently installed wands (and armadillos that support them) segregate the … [more]
The new traffic signals, including signals for the SWCW cycleway, are now fully operational. This side includes a detector strip on the approach, for those leaving Pollok Country Park.
[Image taken 14.5.23] Goodramgate, York. I took this to show how the road here should work. If there is a red light, motorists queue in the direction of travel. People on cycles have a green filter. Cyclists can pass through on the left … [more]

Just been away after leaving my bike for 1 night at @SouthernRailUK's supposedly secure cycle store at #Brighton to find someone tried to steal my bike by anglegrinding through its rear lock damaging the frame @sussex_police … [more]
A welcome intervention here, the council has removed pedestrian islands, removed all street parking, and installed very wide wand-protected cycleways. They've also built two zebra crossings. This work was done so the council could remove … [more]
