[Image taken 23.2.21] We don't have a garden. We don't want to put compostable kitchen waste into landfill though. So we have a composter. When it fills up, we bag up some of the contents and carry it in our cycle trailer from home - this i ... [more]
The lines of desire - Bicycle and Footprints in the miry clay, where a Segregated Bicycle Lane is desperately needed along St Oswalds Road, Gloucester. Wide roads and narrow paths abound here.
Bollards are the only sure way to stop this being overrun by motor vehicles. Fixes problem reported in #87878.
Segregated cycleway through filter, alongside pedestrian path with planting. Part of Cycle Superhighway 6.

[Image taken 18.2.21] York, Wigginton Road. The Do not overtake cyclists sign is now visible but it is very close to the junction. This would seem to limit the chances of drivers seeing it and is too late on this section of Wigginton Road f ... [more]
[Image taken 18.2.21] York, Wigginton Road. Again, the Do not overtake cyclists sign would seem to have limited use being placed among a line of other signs, and therefore obscured. See also: #164311, #164310, #164312, #164313, #164315
[Image taken 18.2.21] York, Wigginton Road. Only at this point do road users have a chance of seeing the Do not overtake cyclists sign. But this location is too late to make a difference. Plus drivers have had so many signs with so many mes ... [more]
[Image taken 18.2.21] York, Wigginton Road. Too many signs. Messages get lost. The Do not overtake cyclists sign is still completely obscured at this point and therefore has no value. See also: #164311, #164310, #164313, #164314, #164315

Recent placeholders
164403 Separate traffic lanes needed if cycle path to exist. Too much mixed traffic.- 164402 Whole path needs rebuilding. Dangerous for all traffic types, needs to be segregated
- 164401 Multiple short less than 10 minute car journeys to walk dogs for less than 15 minutes
- 164400 Traffic speed too high, blind bends and lack of space for pedestrians and cyclists. Reduce limit to 30 mph. Cut back scrub to remove blind bends. Provide marked foot path.
- 164399 Speed limit inappropriate for road / drainage to pedestrians and cyclist. Poor surface . Reduce speed limit to 20 mph . improve drainage sweep road.
- 164398 Clear scrub/low hanging trees and widen path to accommodate cycles and pedestrians between rousebarn and next lock
- 164396 Provide proper paved cycleway /pedestrian route to allow greater accessibility
- 164395 Clearly a need for a dedicated cycle lane with such a wide road available.
- 164394 Remove cycleway from road and allocate space on the ample footpaths either side of the carriageways.
- 164390 This crossroads is a busy nodal point for people walking, to schools, and facilities in Penkhull, a raised table would calm road traffic to make the whole junction and surrounding streets safer.
- 164389 There are segregated cycle tracks along Harpfield Road, really useful for school and hospital cycle traffic, but there are no facilities to assist through the 4 armed roundabout with Newcastle Lane. This roundabout is still the original very old design, and highway engineering has advanced considerably in this time. Unusually, this roundabout is fortunate to be set in plenty of public space. A Dutch style roundabout with cycle facilities and zebra crossings of the arms for pedestrians could be created to improve safety and encourage more active travel.
- 164388 There are segregated cycle tracks along Harpfield Road, really useful for school and hospital cycle traffic, but there are no facilities to assist through the 6 armed roundabout with Keelings Drive. This roundabout is still the original very old design, and highway engineering has advanced considerably in this time. Unusually, this roundabout is fortunate to be set in plenty of public space. A Dutch style roundabout with cycle facilities and zebra crossings of the arms for pedestrians could be created to improve safety and encourage more active travel.
