[Image taken 9.5.21] Manor Lane, Rawcliffe, York. Looking from Manor Lane. The ‘holding’ area between the road and the entry to the chicane is too narrow. You would need to wait on the road if someone else were navigating this or, if with dependants or other vulnerable companions, wait close to it on the road trusting that road users would see you/accommodate all in your party. There’s a nursery school close by but a man with two children said he (and other parents) don’t use this offroad, segregated link because: “It is a right, royal pain in the…” And because “We start on this [the opposite] side of the road [Manor Lane] and the number of junctions is the same.” He decried that drivers did not make concessions even for children at the roundabout with Kensington Road/Eva Avenue en route. If you don't/can't use this section of path alongside Manor Lane you can't avoid the speed cushions further west: #177230. And for trike users those are even more difficult to use than they are for people on two-wheeled designs. Images today see also: #169120 and links
