Need an off road cycle path on this road which is no longer the main A road so could be narrowed and off road cycle paths provided.

Surface of Briary Lane is badly eroded making cycling challenging on what is otherwise a nice route out of town.

Build the bridge and cycle route to Melbourn advocated by the A10 campaign and local business.

Use space alongside the railway to create a shared walking and cycling route from Rosecomb to the new Lancaster Road housing to create a route into the town away from the main road.

Use space alongside the railway to create a shared walking and cycling route from Rosecomb to the new Lancaster Road housing to create a route into the town away from the main road.

This footpath provides a direct route via Green Drift to the station so ideally should be upgraded to a shared use path for cycling. possibly by routing around the lake next to the railway.

In the absence of a safe cycle path and given the high speeds on this road, the pavement here needs converting to shared use as far as Downlands, but ideally into the town centre with Baldock Road narrowed as it is no longer a main A road.

Good to see what looks like a cycle path being built from here to Therfield Road, but the entrance off the road here needs legally correct bollards to LTN1/20 standards.

Very nasty crossing. Poor sightlines and cars doing 60 mph. Needs something to make this safe for families to cross on cycles.

Make it possible to use the closed road to rear of station eastbound plaform to create an accesible walking and cycling route out of the station platform, as no lift.

Challenging junction to cross on bikes when leaving the station as there are 6 directions to look. Needs a toucan crossing.

The cycle route to the central Letchworth shopping area turns right, but you could just as easily take the path to the left.

The cycle route from Hitchin to Letchworth turns left off the A505 (unsigned) and rejoins the carriageway.

Shared-use path with Cyclists Dismount sign - the route goes past the bus stop and crosses the road at the Toucan crossing.

Going from Letchworth to Hitchin (no great distance) it's clear there's a shared-use path - in the other direction you wouldn't have a clue.

End of the route past Sainsbury's, Hitchin

Route past Sainsbury's, Hitchin - no link to the cycleway across the stream.

Signage for motorists and safer crossing for cyclists.

SIgnage for motorists and ease of crossing for cyclists.

Crossing the A1M at this point is tricky - no signage to motorists to warn of cycles crossing.

Some minor rat-running has been blocked by making the east side of this junction cycles-only.

London Road Between Buntingford & Royston There are numerous cycle/footpaths that are either overgrown, damaged or non-existent. The ones that are there are pretty uncomfortable, dangerous, or impossible to use because of overgrown trees … [more]

Upgrade footpath to cycle way so cyclists going from Codicote to Knebworth by way of Gipsy Lane (southern) do not need to detour along busy Gipsy Lane (northern) and Park Lane.

Reduce speed limit as fast cars plus narrow road make this not fun for cycling,

B636 from Codicote to Welwyn is a very busy road with overhanging bushes and trees. The roadway is wide enough to accept a reduced width so that a wider cycle/pedestrian path can be added going south to Fulling Mill Lane.

Segregated cycle way between Hitchin and Lower Stondon/ Henlow Camp continuing to Langford. Or install speed limit to 40mph and cameras.

Remove the gyratory. Traffic speeds are high. TfL is removing gyratories in London with good effect especially when combined with public realm improvements eg Highbury Corner

Some form of protection / priority / lane for cyclists on all arms of the roundabout.

Safety measures for cyclists here. I’ve had to stop in the roundabout to avoid getting knocked off by vehicles coming from Nightingale Road and turning right.

Create segregated cycle lane from Hitchin to Letchworth.

The access for cycles to Hitchin town centre is poor. A cycle way along the river looks possible.

Improve security at station for cycles

This is a common route for dog walkers and cyclists, with a path leading into Laurel Way from Burymead Icknield Way from Letchworth. Wider path and marked cycle lane needed to safely complete the loop back into Hitchin.

Very Dangerous Difficult Crossing for Cyclists and Walkers, Low Visibility of Cars travelling fast around the bend.

Difficult for cyclists and pedestrians to cross this busy section of the A505. Some form of crossing/ underpass required to make safer and enable families to use the roads either side of the main road safely

Make a link from improved junction with A602 roundabout to Bridleway north of Graveley Lane. Already a footpath so widen.

Baldock High Street needs a cycle lane.

Along works road from Baldock to Letchworth. More space needed for cyclists. It is a convenient route to connect both towns & already used by some cyclists.

A real cycle track between Stevenage and Knebworth, remove the overtaking lane and reduce speed limit

Lack of space for cyclists and difficult for pedestrians to cross. Convert to one way street, along with station road and use the other half for two way segregated cycle lanes. Provide a zebra crossing for pedestrians across Bridge Road.

Difficult roundabout for pedestrians and cyclists to navigate on NCR 12 and school route. There is enough space and existing layout lends itself to conversion to Dutch roundabout.

One has to cycle on a narrow road here. Travelling west the road is narrow with 2 pedestrian traffic islands in the centre of the road which makes it very narrow and vehicles after either try and overtake a cyclist at this pinch point and … [more]

It is very dangerous on this road travelling north. There is no cycleway and one has to ride on the road with 2 pinch points where there are pedestrian traffic islands which narrow the road and make it very dangerous.

There is a combined footpath and cycleway from Norton to Stotfold. However at the Norton end you have to go onto a main road at a dangerous point and it is not well signposted. There should be better links from this cycleway into … [more]

Dangerously narrow cycle lane needs widening. Having a lane there means drivers don't feel they need to give cyclists any additional space when passing, but there are sections along St. Michael's Road where the cycle lane isn't even as … [more]

Restrictive barrier needs to be removed to make walking, cycling and wheeling more inclusive. They discourage rather than welcome, discriminating against people who use wheelchairs, mobility scooters, handcycles, cargo bikes or … [more]

Car have priority at this cycle crossing point. If the cycleway was on a raised table crossing giving priority to the cyclists it would be much safer. The road is a residential one shopp not busy.

Consider providing access to Royston Town Centre from the East of the town via Priory Gardens.

Secure access rights for safer North-South cycleway along Dog Kennel Lane and past the Manor House

Provide a cycle way along Melbourn Road to connect Royston Town Centre with the future A505 bridge
