Route onto path obstructed by railing, and no dropped kerb.

#194053, nearby

Barriers to preserve this as a footpath

#193617, nearby

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

#193613, nearby

Concrete blocks across an entrance. They are not blocking a right of way, but they do seem to be excessive and antisocial. Concrete blocks across a footpath to the Beach Ditch. There are bridleway signposts from the road called Green End, … [more]

#193062, nearby

#192992, nearby

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

#187943, nearby

Barriers where the new riverside route from Chamonix towards Lake Geneva meets a bridge

#186591, nearby

[UPDATE: On 4.11.22 I did a count here while waiting for someone - #187500. It was a dry, sunny day though sharp and gusty by the time I was here. In 30 minutes, 15.12-15.42, 74 people passed through. Dog walkers; a runner with a buggy and … [more]

#185829, nearby

Not exactly a modal filter

#185744, nearby

I was looking for the steps marked on the WHW on OpenStreetMap (which didn't appear to exist), but found these steps instead next to the library. As I was on the bike, I didn't go up them to find out where they led.

No way through at Milngavie Library.

#185663, nearby

[Image taken 19.8.22] Terry Avenue (ahead), near junction of Butcher Terrace (behind camera left), Millennium Bridge (behind camera, right), York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] I was perplexed that yet more bollards … [more]

[Update: #180478.] [Image taken 23.3.22] Haxby Cycleway, New Earswick, Huntington/Haxby/York. [Note: No street view at this location.] The barriers (very tight) have now both gone back in. Depressing. Context see: #180362, #180413.
