The new covered cycle parking opposite Tesco Express where the market is in Royston. Most welcome. Looking forward to using this. https://t.co/nL4xwf8TZV
Link to housing development by Baldock station - the height restriction is for the main road under the railway, not the path.
Pretty although muddy pathway through flowers. Right alongside the A1(M) with motorists flying by just metres away on massive tarmacked road. Very noisy.
Pretty field and trees, muddy surface, right next to big massive motorway on the other side of the hedge -- which doesn't protect you from the noise.
Pretty pathway sandwiched between a farm field and the A1(M). It is very noisy here, sadly, which spoils it. The flowers are nice but it is a little galling that I have to cycle in the mud next to one of the widest, smoothest motorways in … [more]
A good crossing here and a cycle route up Windmill Hill (yes, I know there's a bit of a climb) would provide an excellent link between Hitchin Girls School and the town centre.
One of these children said 'There's a lot of people on bikes today' when they saw us. But these were just about the only others we'd seen in Royston.
Steps at end of footpath to Letchworth station - this could easily be replaced by a ramp for a useful cycle link.
Pinch points give no traffic calming benefit and create a well known hazard for cyclists. Remove and replace with cycle friendly traffic calming. Reduce the apparent width of the roads using cycle lanes and remove the centerline.
The path connecting the Tene to the Twitchell / Simpson Drive needs little action other than to replace the barriers in the distance with ride through bollards.
The High Street has plenty of width to introduce cycle lanes. The apparent reduction in traffic lane width would help keep speeds down. Suggest combining this with road centerline removal. The mass of car parking provided needs to be … [more]
Visibility where this passage (HCC link 14) emerges onto the High St is non-existant. The footway is set hard against the building frontage so there is no chance of people seeing each other. Making this passage into a shared path would be … [more]
Visibility where this passage (to the recreation ground, HCC link 14) emerges onto the High St is non-existent. The footway is set right back against the building frontage, giving people no chance of seeing each other. Making this passage … [more]
This passage (HCC link 14) is too narrow and too blind for shared use. Keep as footpath only and direct cyclists onto Simpson Drive and the Tene.
Clothall Rd is relatively busy. On street parking on the west side means that cycle lanes are unlikely to be appropriate. Whilst the east verge is wide, and free from side turnings to the south of Hartfield school, it is obstructed by an … [more]
Drop kerbs or raise turning head to create seamless transition from road to path. Connect to all cul de sacs
Speeding is a problem on this road due to the inappropriate high capacity, high speed design. The sign gives it all away.
Just how much road do three cars need ? This road is much wider than it needs to be. It starts and finishes as a 2 lane single carriageway. There is no reason why this section would not also work as a 2 lane single carriageway. There are … [more]
All of the traffic that goes down the 5 lane dual carriageway must get to it down a 2 lane single carriageway. The excess road space performs no useful function, it just encourages speeding.
The Berlin wall. There is no connection between these two estates that back onto each other. When new housing is built it MUST be porous to walking and cycling, encouraging short trips to be made without cars.
Hatching emphasises that this is a space for vehicles, not for people. Use more creative measures like different surfacing, visually narrowing the width, junction tables, removal of centerlines and priority markings etc to create a more … [more]
There is no good reason to ban cycling on this path. It would make a very positive traffic free link parallel to Burns Road without eroding the rights of confident cyclists to ride in the carriageway on Burns Rd. Recommendations: 1. … [more]
This is an obvious, natural link from the Industrial area to the estates east of the North Road. The existing uncontrolled crossing is bizarrely off line, introducing inconvenience for the sake of it. All of that guard railing gives out … [more]
