Unclear priorities for buses and cyclists in bus lane merging with general lane. Narrow footpaths cannot be shared by pedestrians and cyclists. Unpleasant for pedestrians in any case as you have to walk very close to sometimes fast traffic. At commuting times a lot of cars race through unsafely fast if they perceive a gap. Easy win would be a 20mph local speed limit, maybe speed bumps, and clearer priorities for merging. In an ideal world where active travel was put first wider footpath and stepped cyclepaths in both directions on the correct sides of the road, with traffic light to control motor vehicle access turn-about.
