The lines of desire - Bicycle and Footprints in the miry clay, where a Segregated Bicycle Lane is desperately needed along St Oswalds Road, Gloucester. Wide roads and narrow paths abound here.

[Image taken 18.2.21] York, Wigginton Road. Again, the Do not overtake cyclists sign would seem to have limited use being placed among a line of other signs, and therefore obscured. See also: #164311, #164310, #164312, #164313, #164315
[Image taken 18.2.21] York, Wigginton Road. Only at this point do road users have a chance of seeing the Do not overtake cyclists sign. But this location is too late to make a difference. Plus drivers have had so many signs with so many mes ... [more]

164394 Remove cycleway from road and allocate space on the ample footpaths eith side of the carriageways.- 164390 This crossroads is a busy nodal point for people walking, to schools, and facilities in Penkhull, a raised table would calm road traffic to make the whole junction and surrounding streets safer.
- 164389 There are segregated cycle tracks along Harpfield Road, really useful for school and hospital cycle traffic, but there are no facilities to assist through the 4 armed roundabout with Newcastle Lane. This roundabout is still the original very old design, and highway engineering has advanced considerably in this time. Unusually, this roundabout is fortunate to be set in plenty of public space. A Dutch style roundabout with cycle facilities and zebra crossings of the arms for pedestrians could be created to improve safety and encourage more active travel.

- 164382 Widen path to create safe link into Scremerston Village and avoiding dangerous junction

- 164379 Traffic cut through and speeding
- 164378 Gate to access path through allotments is very difficult to use for bikes. Needs cattle grid and accessible gate.
- 164377 Shared path ends before useful link to off road route across to university. could be extended to link Kilburn Rd to Hospital Fields junction
- 164376 Canal towpath is very poor throughout Hemel and Berkhamsted. Very muddy, pot holes narrow with overgrown hedges. The whole length needs to be improved for walking and cycling which avoids busy roads
- 164375 The surface on the whole Nicky line is terrible particularly in winter. can it be re-surfaced like the Alban way is?
