Riders coming from behind the camera wanting to follow straight on need to cut the corner shown where the bike is parked. See https://twitter.com/frankshad/status/1450527117914087440?s=21
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 bef ... [more]
There's a shared-use route on the far side of the road, but the route from the Robin Hood junction on this side just seems to vaporise.
Repair the path suface: Baldy potholed and when wet difficult to see if we can safely ride through the puddles.
Junction very confusing. Is it legal to cycle on the pavements around the edges as one corner says yes, the other say nothing. Traffic lights have no cycling images so not clear if can be cycled. Not good to have cyclists mixing it with b ... [more]
No indication that the cycle route continues on the (rather broken-up) shared-use path ahead - many cyclists must continue on the road.
Nightingale Avenue modal filter - eventually I suppose the pedestrian crossing will have to be moved to allow a straight-across movement for cyclists to Red Cross Lane.
Ice on the footway/cycleway at the top of this busway bridge over the railway, where there’s a shadow from the wall.

The cycle counter barometer on Parker’s Piece is blank on both sides - so no way of knowing the number of “Cyclists this year”. Additional comments at: https://twitter.com/simon_nuttall/status/1344778875155456000?s=21
We ought to be grateful for the gritting, but it's not right to see a truck driving along the cycleways in Eddington scattering salt. A much smaller vehicle should be used. Cycleways are not for motor traffic of any kind in my view! It c ... [more]
Poor drainage on Huntingdon Road. Reported at: https://highwaysreporting.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/ reference: 00354582 Update: I was a bit surprised to get a reply from them on 2 June 2021 (i.e. more than five months later) to say: "We a ... [more]
This section of cycleway has been resurfaced and the stud lights have vanished - the second time this has happened. It also needs clearing of dead leaf mush.
Barriers here are totally unnecessary and the priority should be for the major route (the cycleway) not 12 houses in a cul-de-sac
Barrier and missing flush kerb. Remove barrier, add flush kerb, surface properly and widen for bidirectional use and distancing.
The central divider means there isn't much space for people either walking or cycling and visibility at the blind corner is terrible. In a survey of 15 users none of them liked having the path divided. Remove the divider.
Barrier prevents distancing and barrier plus lack of flush kerb makes it very difficult with a cargo bike or trike. Put in a flush kerb and bollard.
Barriers and no flush kerb make this route very awkward with a cargo bike or trike, and add conflict with pedestrians. Put in a flush kerb and a bollard instead.
Put in some proper segregation here with wands, kerbs or armadillos rather than just painting a line.
Road surface along this entire stretch from Ferry Path in the east to Croftholme Lane in the west is appalling and very dangerous. Re-thinking of cycle paths through the route, and then proper resurfacing is urgently required.
Set-back crossing, but lacks priority. Had it been designed with priority and surfaced accordingly, it would be Dutch quality
The on-road cylepath from the Barnwell Road roundabout to the Ditton Lane junction could really do with repainting: most of the red has now vanished.
This crossing is really dangerous for pedestrian and cyclists. The traffic lights don't take them into consideration at all and it is a dangerous point in a otherwise great cycling path.
Farm entrance and exit needs to give way to cyclists on the cycle path. No markings are provided and vehicles turn in and out without care without looking along the cycle path for vehicles
The actual M11 bridge is quite wide, but the shared-use links on either side are riidiculously narrow,
Travelling westbound, add a straight-on filter lane for bicycles, open when either the eastbound car or bus lane is open. There's no need to make bikes wait while cars are travelling westbound on the Newmarket Road, and no need for bikes ... [more]
Road is effectively single lane here due to on street parking on a blind bend. Oncoming vehicular traffic will often force cyclists into the kerb or the the wing mirrors of the parked cars (depending on direction of travel)
Cyclists share cycle path with pedestrians and it is dangerous for both groups. There needs to be a clearer division between which part of the pavement is for walking, and which for cycling.
Very poor layout for cyclists here with tight bends and criss-crossing footpath. Traffic signals poorly arranged for cyclists approaching from Victoria Avenue.
Mill Road too narrow , heavy traffic, dangerous for bikes. Make one way for cars and two way bike lanes or at least add bike lanes
The "up" cycleway here is stupid, mixed with unnecessary parked short-stay cars and queuing cars. In the other direction the junction is 30mph not 20mph, wide and scary, with cars turning across cyclists. There's a silly cycle lane on the p ... [more]

Clumsy signposting here means it's confusing to find the busway path to the station when entering the P&R
Remove or reduce unnecessary gates on path. Replace with bollards if required to prevent motor traffic
Nice new cycle path on Green End Rd has no good interface to very narrow shared use path going NE Milton Rd, trapped behind fence. Yet traffic has 3 lanes going townwards there. Scrap fence and use current inner traffic lane for cycle + ped ... [more]
Critical access link to the Biomedical Campus connecting Red Cross Lane to new Queen Edith's Way cycle roundabout. Road needs to have all on-street parking removed to make space for bikes. Ongoing parking enforcement will be required.
Road and pavement surfaces are unsafe for cycling. Cycle path on the road encourages cars to pass when there is not enough room, and there is certainly no space for cyclists to move away from the kerb to distance from pedestrians. Needs a ... [more]
Cycle bridge along the railway - convenient link between Impington, Science Park, North railway station, King's hedges area and the path along the river (out of the city) or eastwards towards Bottisham

MILL ROAD BRIDGE. Cycle path on the left, inboard of the pavement, for cyclists travelling towards Petersfield; and a similar cycle path on opposite side of road, for cyclists travelling towards Romsey. WITH THE PROPOSED ONE WAY TRAFFIC FOR ... [more]
Earlier, in view of the ongoing Covid-19 situation, I recommended having pedestrians moving in a ONE-WAY system across MILL ROAD BRIDGE (eg on the left hand pavement going from Romsey to Petersfield, and again on the opposite pavement comin ... [more]
The section of Arbury Road between Leys Road and Milton Road is narrow and really dangerous for cyclists. Modal filter west of Leys Road would open up road space for safe cycling and socially distancing pedestrians
That barrier... Presumably given the lack of tourists as a terrorist target it can be left open or removed
Cut-through to Addenbrooke's Road - shown as a cycleway on OpenCycleMap but not wide enough for a new development.
Crossing to/from end of new shared path parallel to drain to go to Milton St John's Innovation Centre etc is terrible. A small 3.5m wide bridge over the drain with a crossing of Cowley Rd to reach Orwell Furlong would be a far more pleasant ... [more]

Cycling over Mill Road bridge can be intimidating, especially for younger cyclists, and is a barrier to making trips by bike. A dedicated cycle lane (preferably separated from traffic) would solve this issue (presumably by reducing vehicula ... [more]
New Aldi means people driving cars are turning across those cycling in the bus lane and are not looking properly - priority for pedestrians and cyclists needs to be strengthened here, this is a new danger and high likelihood of an injured p ... [more]
Shared use path is so narrow cyclists can’t really use it. Too many pedestrians, even outside rush hour. The road is unpleasant for children because buses are very intimidating - drive up close behind. Also terminates in a drop ker ... [more]
Busway needs barriers to protect cyclists, especially children, cycling south. Even at slower speeds, busses can not serve if a cyclists were to fall in front of them.
Unpleasant right turn into Tennison Road from the station. Cars pulling out often don’t check to their left.
North/south cyclists should have priority here, rather than cars from the garage and side roads. Could be a nice, safe alternative route past the station.
No access to advanced stop box from cycle path without going down a kerb. It’s a busy box, and most cyclists seem to do this, which isn’t comfortable.
Poorly designed pedestrian path means a large number of pedestrians side step into the cycle path without looking. Needs a redesign so the most natural route to cross the cycle path is not sidestepping into it without looking. At leas ... [more]
Vehicles pull out of this access road without stopping for the shared use path. This will continue to be an access road for the sports fields after the construction road is complete, so it needs better visibility, and obvious markings to ... [more]
North bound cyclists have three seconds for the green light cycle. That is not enough for when the traffic island is full of cyclists (eg in the morning school run)
Cycling north, cars have priority from the left. The hedge is quite high for young cyclists. Adjust the priority, or reduce the hedge height.
This cycle path is used way more than vehicles but vehicles have priority to turn. It’s a major access route to the secondary school. Travelling north, cyclists have a blind corner which vehicles drive round quite fast - not child friendl ... [more]
