Parked car protruding into a new cycleway

No through way onto the Amey Cespa site. Unless the blockage is removed, routing journeys this way will be unhelpful.

Concrete blocks across a footpath to the Beach Ditch. View from the north. David Wilson's Google Streetview shows the path without these blocks, and must predate their installation. There are bridleway signposts from the road called Green … [more]

Why would anyone put two posts in the middle of the tactile paving? Because they don't have a clue what it's for, presumably.

#193121, nearby

What I think is meant to be a cycleway on the right comes to an abrupt (and unsigned) end at a tree. There's a sort of Cyclists Dismount sign a few metres further on - see #106195

#193062, nearby

These barriers date from when Hegyeshalom station was one of the main crossing points through the Iron Curtain - not needed now.

Access to bridge no.5, Șimleu Silvaniei - a dropped kerb would help

#192992, nearby

Bridge no.3, Șimleu Silvaniei - definitely not cycle-friendly

#192979, nearby

I think this is meant to be a cycle lane - but I also think there's probably nothing to stop cars from parking in it.

Modal filter - but a dropped kerb would be helpful

Bridge no.4, Aiud - not much use to cyclists.

#192891, nearby

Bridge no.4, Aiud - there are far more steps at the other end.

#192887, nearby

Footway-blocking is clearly totally normalised in Aiud.

#192812, nearby

This footbridge is shown on OpenCycleMap as a cycleway - it definitely isn't. Go to the next bridge east, which is far better.

#192789, nearby

Nicely ramped bridge across the Târnava Mare river from Blaj to Izvoarele - dropped kerbs would help.

#191052, nearby

A low wooden barrier, almost invisible in darkness, has been added to the down ramp from the Abbey-Chesterton bridge. This appears to be intended to prevent wheeled users from bypassing the chicane by cycling over the mud.
