Large puddle on Mill Road / Hope Street Traffic sprays water over the footway. Reported to Cambridgeshire Highways 10th March 2023, awaiting ref.
A bit of a blockage at the renaming ceremony for the Equiano Bridge (#187356), although through passage was maintained throughout for pedestrians and cyclists.
Barriers near the Cadent gas main works on Addenbrookes - Great Shelford Cycleway blown over and blocking cycleway. There is a small sandbag threaded through every sixth barrier but that didn't work!
Over the months this pop-up lane closure, which forced left-turning cyclists into the path of through traffic, has gradually moved to the left and is becoming less of a problem.
This stretch of the fen has been flooded for over a month - there's a free-flowing stream to the right but somehow the cycle path seems to be an impermeable barrier to drainage.
Useful cut through temporarily closed, with explanatory note emphasising that it will re-open as soon as possible.
A pavement parked van is obstructing the path of a disabled man on a mobility scooter. We spoke to the driver and they finally shifted the van to give enough space, reluctantly, after several minutes of waiting. Lots of people were … [more]
The driver was happy to stop, but really didn't need to block the cycleway on the new 'Dutch-style' Fendon Road roundabout.
Saying Thank You for supporting the @camcycle campaign to remove the barriers at Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Lots of happy appreciative cyclists 😀 https://t.co/gvhOWyxmT6
I’m on King’s Parade in Cambridge again for the fourth day running as councillors have again said they are due to close the new anti-terror barrier today. The road is very busy with cyclists at the moment. https://t.co/rtB8bWUk2m
Counting cycle and motor traffic at the location of a new obstruction on the busway cycleway at the Biomedical Campus, Addenbrooke's, Cambridge, UK. I am pictured using the four bank handheld counter which is shown at #112987.
I think this taxi driver genuinely thought he could drive down Bateman St (contraflow cycling only from this point). So much for local knowledge.
A campaigner marking the success of an #absoluteBollards campaign to get rid of the shin-gougers which are now in the down position within those diamonds. There's a new taller bollard in place. Hmm, I think the diamonds need removing now … [more]
Blatant obstruction of Hills Road cycle track by a private vehicle. The driver claimed to work for Cambs Highways and to be dealing with a collapsed manhole cover in the verge, but I had seen him walk out of Holbrook Road and speak to a … [more]
Construction of new building finally completed, and Abbey Street cycle crossing still obstructed.The two cars on the left are on double yellow lines.
National Grid lorry blocking a very busy cycle route to and from the station. https://twitter.com/roxyfromoz/status/703248314729418752
Access to the station cycle parking closed off with no alternative route yet signposted - although there are marshalls ready to direct cyclists.
New poles (which will eventually indicate the new route to the station cycle parking) immediately used for a failed attempt at cycle parking.
Contraflow cycle lane closed for building work (presumably 'Use New Street Road' means use the carriageway of New St, not a cycle lane).
Delivery at the University Arms construction site, 9:30am. Reversing with no banksman at rear, blocked cycle lane for ~5mins. Was refused entry, waited on the double yellows at Pizza Hut until 10am, went round the block and entered site.
All the cycle bypasses on St Philip's Road have been closed off without warning signs - but this van driver was happy to wait for the ride to the Cambridge Cycling Campaign's 20th birthday picnic.
Cattle grids permit easy access for cycles to routes over the commons, but not easy access for cattle to the roads
An unmarked police car is parked for non-emergency business on the footway where parking, waiting and loading are prohibited. Vehicles passing are forcing cyclists off the road.
These Councillors will be responsible for the increased danger to cyclists and pedestrians at 103 Mill Road
Temporary chicane during buildings works for AstraZeneca site Also, note the "CYCLISTS DISMOUNT" sign that has appeared since 2011
This sign should refer to the Fen Causeway footway ahead, now being removed - someone moved it to close the route into the city, and I took it down altogether.
In 3 minutes I photographed at least 20 cyclists on the grass of Lammas Land due to the road closure.

See clip at http://youtu.be/v6Yuzyi2BgI Really do not understand the reaction here, short of wanting to complain. I approach along SHARED path on the (traditional) left side. They stare at me, clearly indicating they had seen me, but … [more]
See clip at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZIwdrl6tp8 I support dog walkers and pedestrians, and always give way to them and their pets. However, some dog owners fail in their responsibilities towards other path users. Dog walkers … [more]
Busway maintenance track blocked by maintenance vehicle (how dare they?) - in fact we crept past on the right.
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkFR3A8bLmE Yet more experiences of Sedgwick Avenue. This time it's a car that must just get ahead. I could see the oncoming traffic ahead as it passed and immediately knew that it was going to … [more]
Cycle contraflow completely blocked by MACC Building Solutions van. Occupants, in back of van, said they had to block the cycle lane because there was nowhere else to park.
CAT Scaffolding Ltd with number plates V353 FHW obstructing a Mandatory Cycle Lane despite space on the driveway. Cyclist forced into main lane with speeding cars and lorries. See also #22296
Taxi AG04 LCN with license 1051 parked in contra-flow cycle lane with double yellow line. So much about professional drivers.
Totally selfish and illegal parking to deliver at St Faith's School - no reason not to pull in a few metres ahead, off the zig-zags, and the road would not have been obstructed.
Cambridgeshire Police Scientific Support unit parked in a mandatory cycle lane (MCL). Officer had just returned to the car to fill in forms. There was plenty of space (see #19172) to park the car with number plates AF52 VMO without blocking … [more]
