[Image taken 27.11.22] Filey Terrace (looking southbound), York. Scaffolding on no 6. Closeup of this hazard for all pavement users. The apex is at my height – around 5ft.
[Image taken 27.11.22] Filey Terrace (looking southbound), York. Scaffolding on no 6. Note the light. But – you wouldn’t be expecting a pavement to be completely obstructed. And if you have no or only limited sight? In any case every on ... [more]

[Image is Street View from August 2019] Hoardings on Station Road, junction with Rougier Street, York. This is a key route into York from the station. This makes it one of the first but also last views of the city visitors will have. The ho ... [more]
[NOTE: Riding Burton Stone Lane southbound at lunchtime on 21.11.22, ie in the opposite direction to the photo in this image, I realised a driver was trying to beat me to the new measures. Motorists will want to get there before me - or any ... [more]
It is not uncommon in this area to see people walking down the middle of the street. Cars are stored on the pavements for the full length of the street on both sides, so what are folk to do? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaywalking ... [more]
Green End Road, Cambridge Video of cycling along here in 2022: https://twitter.com/the_spokeswoman/status/1596187645922578432?s=20&t=GydhIA1ssCPa04tQTl5v0g
Again I forgot to approach this gate on the footway, since there is no dropped kerb to assist with getting around it from the carriageway. Update 2022: See #188011 where dropped kerbs have been provided.
Signpost on the "Thicket Path" between St Ives and Houghton, stating "considerate cycling welcomed". This confirms that cycling is permitted despite the absence of the usual "Shared route for pedal cycles and pedestrians only" signs. Se ... [more]

187869 Here is the daily school-run congestion in Oxford Iffley Rd: angry drivers, wasted time and CO2. It has been like this for years. One must be crazy to think this is OK and we should do nothing. Proposed traffic filters may help, but permits must be minimal!

https://twitter.com/dreliseuk/status/1595121314272284673?s=46&t=gUlk1gG27TZThFjVutsr1g- 187830 This is a very dangerous stretch for pedestrians and cyclists: in westward direction there is no pavement and no cycle path, the road curves so obstructs view and drivers pass at high speed.

- 187748 Chalkwell Road 's footways are too narrow as you approach the roundabout, with motors parked on footway both sides, wheelie bins and outward-opening windows in the way, poor lighting and poor visibility for people on foot. There's nowhere to cross safely. Sometimes have to walk in the road.

- 187744 It's very dark and I feel very unsafe riding here and all the way down Canada Way for my job. Can we get more street lights?

- 187739 Although Densole is a village, the A260 through here has a 40 mph limit and is used by HGVs. As a local resident, I would certainly cycle more if traffic were calmed and speeds reduced here
