Photo listing: road environments (good practice)

The most recent photos are listed first. See also photomap view.

This listing only shows photos within Cambridge.
Go to the national CycleStreets photo listings for photos beyond.

Advanced cycle lights - they're only activated if a bike is detected, otherwise the lights go to green for motor vehicles at once.

Bollards recently added here - presumably to prevent the grassy area from being driven upon? Or perhaps (shudder) from being cycled upon... #108204 ?

This crossing used to be one of the slowest in Cambridge but has been altered to change almost immediately! Fantastic for pedestrians heading for Cambridge station, and I don't believe it's holding up motor traffic at all. [Actually I think … [more]

Excellent to see clear support from the Petersfield Labour Councillor for changes to Mill Road Bridge. (Leaflet dated late 2022).

Charging point for electric taxis on Station Road, Cambridge

What I kept telling councillors and officers was one of the most abused ASLs in Cambridge has been repainted at last, along with the whole junction.

Advanced cycle lights - which only work when a bike is detected in the ASL.

Advanced cycle lights have appeared at the Station Rd/Hills Road junction - with a surprisingly long period before the main light turns green.

Parent with children cycling on Mill Road, now it’s safer

Just two weeks since a coalition took over the county council and already the dangerous pop-up barriers here have been removed. Coincidence? See #151657, #151658, #156151, #168794

Success - Norfolk Street now a School Street - long overdue given the danger shown at #91918 and #10532

Red Cross Lane, with very welcome new parking restrictions.

Panton Street experimental traffic order allowing two-way cycling and prohibiting through motor traffic.

Panton Street has an experimental traffic order changing this section to one-way except cycles.

Panton Street two-way for cycling at last (experimental order).

Changed priority, giving cyclists using Kings’s Parade priority, which is much safer and more sensible given the lack of traffic using Silver Street these days.

Altered priorities at the Silver / Trumpington St junction. Part of Tranche 2 of the active travel programme.

Lane was coned off but traffic flowing fine, so maybe roadspace can be reallocated for cycle tracks.

Dooring zone markings on the newly resurfaced Station Road, Cambridge - cyclists are entitled to keep well to the right.

Station Road has been fixed! with a short stretch of red cycle lane. Let's hope it lasts.

Surprisingly this delivery driver chose to stop jutting out into the carriageway rather than blocking the cycleway.

Nicely placed sharrow to get contra-flow cyclists riding well away from car doors. Compare #70403.
