Newmarket Road where the cycleway splits - a breakthrough at the time, but now considered discriminatory and exclusive as it requires quite a bit of confidence to hold a central road position while tailed by heavy traffic.

The junction of Histon Road with Canterbury Street (and other side streets) has been designed with an upstand of 25mm, enough to throw a rider off their bike unless they turn sharply.

Narrow Lane on Cambridge Retail Park, and there's a 5 mph sign. (You need to be pretty skilled to cycle as slow as that!)

Cambridge Retail Park A new narrow cycle lane has been marked out, narrower than the space allocated to the footway. Narrow cycle lanes draw cyclists to the edge of the road where they are less visible to vehicles parking / unparking.

CYCLE LANE SUSPENDED AHEAD I can’t see it myself.

Dear @GreaterCambs (@lewis_herbert, @AidanVdeW) please commit to improving dangerous junctions in the area. Too scared to take on this Newmarket Rd one with my daughter in the child seat today, but it wasn’t much better walking over the … [more]

Contraflow cycling Norwich Street, Cambridge Fantastic! Such a small, simple, but incredibly important breakthrough. No entry, except cycles... in the UK! Thank you to whoever is responsible.

Kenzies coach driver parks up illegally in Hills Road cyclelane whilst getting coffee. An increasingly popular stopping place. @LibralLady https://t.co/crxyXmwxRo

This was parked, not unloading as it went over the 40 minute grace period. Even unloading in a cyclelane is illegal.

Travis Perkins using the new cycle infra as an unloading zone. FTA link is http://www.fta.co.uk/export/sites/fta/_galleries/downloads/pcns/drivercard_1.pdf [PDF, bottom of page 3] Also note stopped in zig zag crossing area, a double … [more]

The irony of a "Cyclists, pass with care" notice on a bus driving in the cyclelane.

Another example of misuse of the Hills Road cyclelane. And at a time when lots of children are likely riding from their school.

Oh dear! After getting it right yesterday (https://cambridge.cyclestreets.net/location/84024/), Toyota lorry driver is back to stopping illegally in the cyclelane to unload like two weeks ago … [more]

Much better than https://cambridge.cyclestreets.net/location/83577 where they'd illegally coned off the cyclelane.

Illegally parked in contraflow cyclelane. Right opposite plenty of space to park legally.

It's hardly surprising that people think it's okay to stop up in a cyclelane when the police do it. They do have some leeway, but clearly not in this case.

Illegally Coning Off Cyclelane at @ToyotaCambridge What I don't get with these modern developments is, with so much space, why didn't anyone think of delivery space?

I'd love to know the legal position here. I'd suggest that it follows the car rules, in that only enter the cycle lane if it's absolutely necessary (non-mandatory lane). And my feeling is that it's not necessary, thus breaking the law.

It's a 3-points-on-your-license for this offence. Although it's another example of how people driving get away with traffic offences as this simply isn't policed. The police say they are far too busy to prosecute these style of offences. … [more]

At last the pavement is getting wider - for far too long the footway was only as wide as the left hand side of that green box. There's still a width restriction beyond in force because of ongoing works.

See clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKn3w2eMWHY This is breaking the law but also recognised as being very dangerous, mainly as it's a contraflow cyclelane. There are schools nearby and a lot of children use this to get to and from … [more]
