Broadheath Altrincham nr MCR . Would be a nice direct route with a dropped kerb . Even better with 3 dropped kerbs for each path.
One of the consequences of installing barriers like this is severe degradation of the surface. I'd prefer the barrier to be removed completely, but a simple solution is a couple of bags of gravel.
As on the south side of the railway, barriers here encourage the growth of weeds that eventually make the path too narrow to be shared. The barriers should be removed, the overgrowth eliminated, and the path restored to the full width of … [more]
A good surface on this railway bridge. This route is very popular with pedestrians and cyclists, despite the barriers on either side.
A barrier encourages the growth of weeds on this approach to a walking/cycling bridge over the railway. These should be removed and replaced with a simple, single bollard.
I'm not sure why the path is laid out this way but why can't we just cycle in a straight line, rather than have to weave through these obstructions?
An unreasonable layout here, probably due to the large gates. The path should be straight across, to avoid making these awkward turns.
Extremely narrow footway here is a safety issue, two cyclists cannot pass easily. Also, the low sun at evening time flickers through the fencing, which is a huge distraction.
Redesigning this junction to prioritise walking and cycling would help create a quiet alternative to the A56 Manchester Road.
Visit the new Krypton Factor studios in Dunham to find a series of fiendishly difficult barriers to cycling.
An upgraded surface here (camera right, looking northwest), would enable a safe means of crossing the motorway and getting to the Bridgewater Circle.
Potential for a continuous route here, enabling cycling on quiet roads between Carrington and Woodsend. Two footways required, with a central cycleway. There is enough space for this.
Potential for a good route from Carrington to Woodsend, this section would benefit from extended footways either side (there is space for this) and a central cycleway straight through.
Potential route through here, needs obstructions removing and surface treating. Potential for slight widening by taking some of the allotment land.
