There are reports of drivers from Roseford Road not having visibility along Histon Road without nosing into the new cycle lane and forcing cyclists onto the carriageway.

Warwick Road meets Histon Road and Gilbert Road at the Cyclops junction. The low level signals have to be activated by pressing a button.
When I first saw the disappointing final design for the junction of Histon & Victoria Road, this is what I feared would happen. Even worse, it only took me a few minutes to photo a left-hook near-miss example. It's just a matter of time … [more]
The blue and white contraflow sign is the wrong way round, and Except Cycles plates are needed on the red and white signs. Hardly the first time they've got it wrong on Histon Road.
The Histon Road/Canterbury Street junction, which one local driver is struggling to find because the double yellow lines continue down the road.
Advisory cycle lanes - because of course people have to be able to drive to get their Sunday croissants. So much effort and disruption to produce so little improvement.
The south end of Histon Road, currently with the left-turn lane closed and cones partially blocking the southbound exit (currently for cycles only).
One sign with an Except Cycles plate, one without - and a car parked but leaving the (temporarily) contraflow cycle lane open.
More confusion - the yellow and black signs are correct, the road is currently northbound only for motor vehicles, so the blue and white sign is the wrong way round.
The new cycleway continues alongside the road while pedestrians presumably are led to the right for a safer crossing of this dead-end road.

I really hoped that contractors had been told to destroy all these awful Cyclists Dismount signs, but no, here's another one. Unacceptable!

Advisory cycle lanes at the south end of Histon Road - but I do quite like the cycle symbols on the outside of the bus stop.
Histon Road cycleways built to the minimum width, and with no protection from close passing motor traffic. A short section of single-yellow will allow motor vehicles to park in this cycle lane.

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.
Histon Road cycleways built to the minimum width, and with no protection from close passing motor traffic. The footway continues across the side-road and there is a slight upstand of 25mm to make the turn. This is a newish type of junction … [more]

The current arrangement at the south end of Histon Road - only cycling allowed southbound. The sensors don't seem to be detecting bikes - there's a red light until someone activates the pedestrian crossing to the left.
New arrangement of the Histon Road roadworks, with cars northbound only, to the right of the bollards, and cyclists to the left - but without a sign here.

Histon Road is now closed southbound except for cyclists - this is the rather messy arrangement at the southern end.
I think this means that pedestrians and cyclists are sharing the same space for about ten metres - but it shouldn't be necessary to dismount.
Histon Road is now closed southbound - most (but not all) of the No Entry signs have Except Cycle signs in place.
Traffic flow has been reversed through the Histon Road roadworks. This gap is how cyclists are meant to rejoin the road network.
Some mistake surely? Northbound cycle lane, northbound general traffic lane, no southbound cycle lane.

Southbound cycle lane through the Histon Road roadworks - the yellow signs now say 'Reading this whilst driving a Motor Vehicle? You're driving ILLEGALLY the wrong way. CCTV in operation. You have been REPORTED'
The current state of the long-term roadworks on Histon Road - northbound traffic lane, southbound cycle lane
Temporary arrangements at the south end of Histon Road and two contractor's vehicles largely blocking the contraflow cycle lane.
There will be roadworks on Histon Road for the next year - as promised there is a contraflow (southbound) cycleway, but all the signs ignore the existence of cyclists.

There will be roadworks on Histon Road for the next year - this road sign wrongly shows that traffic can't turn in to Warwick Road or Gilbert Road.
