Crossing Clifford Bridge Road, Coventry from the hospital. This is an oddity, it seems to be part of a signal controlled junction but there's no button to press here nor any sign of bike detection equipment.
Wonder what the thinking was here: Brand new cycle route: zebra crossing, pedestrian priority. Great. Road: screw you, pedestrians! Have this painted island and take your chances! Cars rule! @TheWarOnCars @RantyHighwayman … [more]

The old sign in #48310 which had faded out has been replaced, but the new one still does not explain who to phone or what needs permission to cross. The road forms an access to the Forth & Clyde Canal for the general public, so is not … [more]
The dropped kerbs either side of the road closure on Morven Street don't align. I noticed this too late and came straight off of the high kerb. See #152275.
This looked like a good cycle exemption from a road closure, but the dropped kerbs on each side of the strip don't align. See #152276.
@helenpidd This one is pretty special - near Middlesbrough’s football ground https://t.co/tZddKVshoy
The road markings on part of Alderman Road have been renewed, including a buffer strip between the parking bays and the cycle lane, but there's really no point in painting it less than the width of a car away from the kerb.

UPDATE JUNE 2023 https://twitter.com/Cyclinstructor/status/1672486895891226627 A reinstated chicane but opposite handed. To even out the surface wear? This encourages cyclists to take the inside bend with reduced sight lines and a much … [more]
Sale Trafford route along Sinderland brook. The A frame is too narrow. After much argument the gate on the left is now left open giving access to the park - no noticeable increase in motorbike nuisamce
Sale Trafford route across Sinderland brook . The A frame has been widened unofficially which make it slightly better but still an issue especially the poor surface at the site of the access.
A new cycle route on Archerhill Road, leading to the BMX Centre at Knightswood Park. A bus stop impasse? It appears the intent is that cyclists using this cycle lane should use the dropped kerb to join the footway and go around the back of … [more]
A new cycle route on Archerhill Road, leading to the BMX Centre at Knightswood Park. The view from the rear of the bus shelter in #99493.
A new cycle route on Archerhill Road, leading to the BMX Centre at Knightswood Park. Quite why a proper bus stop bypass wasn't installed here I don't know. The bus shelter should be moved closer to the boarder and the segregated cycle … [more]

Is this telling cyclists to take the lane? Or is it marking where the traffic-light sensors are buried?
The turning circle at the end of Water Street has a cycle lane painted around it! The access to the riverside path (in #87599) can be seen (centre). The Sainsbury car park also exits onto the turning circle (at right).
Bizarre cycle lane merges onto the wrong side of the road and then ends abruptly at a give way marking.
@citycyclists @AlternativeDfT That's nothing:check out this beauty in Hackney. https://t.co/uqrlL1PRvU
Narrow cycle lane leeds to a dead end with a right angle swerve across the path of traffic. This is the Bradford end of the Leeds-Bradford cycle superhighway.
Another of those lunatic locations where cyclists are expected to switch to right-hand riding to proceed in a straight line.

Bizarre routing of cyclists on Long Millgate between tramway crossing and link road to Corporation Street. The second cycle route sign appears to be sending cyclists up a one-way street the wrong way! This could have been designed far … [more]

It's a busy junction. Pressing the pedestrian call button does absolutely nothing except light word "WAIT". There are many light sequences and it takes a while to go through them all. Presumably there has been an accident or two. What's the … [more]

This road layout was completed from a blank canvas (the whole of the Oatlands housing scheme east of this point was demolished) and yet the road planners still didn't leave enough space for their planned "cycle facility" past one of the few … [more]
Shared-use route on very narrow footway - absurd token provision for NCN route 4, cyclists are much better off staying on the road here.
Pointless short stretch of shared-use by the Wrexham Western Gateway Road (the footway ends abruptly behind the camera)

Its hard to believe that the cycle bypass that weaves onto the verge area of the footway and between a lamp-post and telegraph pole was ever a practical idea worth pursuing. I'd like to think that after about 18 years of campaigning for … [more]
Stretford near Victoria Park and St Anns primary schools - Crazy cycle lane with legal car parking on approach
The dreaded barriers on the Morrisons Cycle Path. On Morrisons land and they insist they stay put for cyclists' safety - try getting a trailer round them or even a bike for that matter! Photo of someone trying to do exactly that: #58634.
Entrance to and exit from shared-use footway along Ardencraig Road opposite Ardencraig Crescent junction
We're used to short, isolated and useless sections of cycle lane - here's a similar piece of road (ok, it can be entered across the traffic-calming at the far end, but it makes a point).
Strange combination of cycle lane, bus stop and pedestrian crossing. When a bus stops here, it is at a dropped kerb for someone's driveway and stopped over the pedestrian crossing, and there's no Bus Stop markings on the carriageway to … [more]
High kerb with tactiles at road crossing on cycle route through Silverburn Shopping Centre car park. Unbelievable!
Experimental cycle parking inside Charing Cross Multistorey Car Park. The bars are hinged and the bracket on the end attaches to the handlebars either side of the stem, then secured with your own long shank padlock. Never known to be used. … [more]
