The first sign to say this footway is shared use is hidden by a tree. No invitation to leave the carriageway to join it, and the nearest dropped kerb is back at the previous junction. The shared footway is not particularly wide, and … [more]
Signs at the Jane Coston Bridge state: Route 11 is interrupted between Lode, Wicken and Ely, follow Route 51 to Bottisham. For NCN route 11 to Lode, Wicken and Ely, follow Route 51 to Bottisham.
[Image taken 29.5.23] Scarborough Terrace, junction with Hudson Street, York. This person (ditto the couple before her) was happy for me to photograph her having to walk around the inconsiderately parked vehicle. I said I would send it to … [more]
[Image taken 29.5.23] Scarborough Terrace, junction with Hudson Street, York. This vehicle has been here a few times when I've walked and cycled this route. For pedestrians the dropped kerb is obstructed. For all path and road users the … [more]
[Image taken 27.5.23] Wellington Row/North Street, junction with Tanner Row, York. These signs regularly face the wrong way. Are they hit by vehicles? Or is it vandalism? They are important for the safety of people using the contra flow … [more]
The start of the path from Shawbridge Street to Pollokshaws Road, for Pollok Country Park. But the sign says Auldhouse Park, which is the other way. This path is a short but steep ramp, to get around the steps beyond. See also #194237.
[Image taken 22.5.23] RHS Garden Harlow Carr, Crag Lane, Beckwithshaw, Harrogate. To reach this point on a cycle you have ridden 325m from Otley Road. A truly depressing trip. All of that distance is car parking. And it’s all full. There is … [more]
Image taken 22.5.23] Kingsland Terrace junction with Jubilee Terrace, York. Worn cycle direction/cycle lane markings. No clarity over priority – compare with the giveway markings for road users on the carriageway to the right. Other image … [more]
[Image taken 22.5.23] Kingsland Terrace junction with Jubilee Terrace, York. Cyclists (only) can turn left into the contraflow lane: #194206. But there’s no signage stating this option.
[NOTE: 29.5.23 The sign was still as here. Disappointing as this was a bank holiday weekend when Coppergate will have been used by more people who weren't local and who were therefore less likely to know there was a cycle contraflow lane.] … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location] The two signs are within feet of each other. The one facing the camera says users should expect people to be cycling on this … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location] There's a second sign relating to cyclists just feet from the first. It's completely obscured. Such signs are also important for … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location] Even when you get closer on foot the sign is not legible. Context and links: #194151.
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road / New Lane, Huntington / York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location] The path is very narrow. There is a sign saying cyclists can use it/pedestrians should expect cyclists at least to this point. … [more]
[Image taken 21.05.23] Malton Road, Huntington / York. Inaccurate/misleading sign. One week on from #193939 and any NMU heading along Malton Road needs to cross but and the route has now been opened up for pedestrians and cyclists wanting … [more]
Cycle route signs - but there's no indication anywhere of the walking route from Vohwinkel Schwebebahn (monorail) station to Wuppertal-Vohwinkel railway station
Drury Lane, Covent Garden, London London Cycle Network signs for: Euston and King's Cross straight on Left for Covent Garden, Soho RIght for The City and Islington But I think it has been rotated 180 degrees.
The road to the right has now been paved (see #71336 ) and winter tyres are required on the Cund road (in winter, presumably) - but the distance is still wrong.
Direction sign for Sustrans National Cycleroute 6 on emerging from underpass under Nottingham Ring Road at Crown Island. (The underpass was originally part of Nottingham Canal. A marker for Lock 6 can be seen in the same place). The sign … [more]
[Image taken 1.2.23] Bootham Terrace, York.The fallen sign is a trip hazard and an obstruction. It's also not doing its job. Other image this sign today: #190591. Related image on this street close to the junction with Bootham: #190589.
[UPDATE: All the signs relating to the works have been removed.] [Image taken 1.2.23] Bootham Terrace, York. I approached this street from the other direction. I saw there wasn't enough space for anyone let alone a wheelchair user or parent … [more]
Milton Keynes route signs refering to cycle routes aligned with the H and V terminology of the main road network. H and V is perhaps horizontal and vertical. These are pretty hard to relate to unless you know the grid map.
Misleading sign - you can either go left and then right on the route towards the Newmarket Road roundabout, or right into a school.
[UPDATE: An email from CYC says: "It [My email] has already been passed to the Head of Housing Services who has taken the matter up with contractors." I hope all involved will learn from this and the practice will stop - at work but also in … [more]
[UPDATE: All the signs relating to the works have been removed.] [Image taken 11.1.23] Bootham, York. Nonsensical, inaccurate, confusing and ultimately therefore clutter. The information is aimed at people on cycles who need to turn right … [more]
[Image taken 5.1.23] Clifton Backies, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] Location of the missing direction post. Context and links: #189172.
[Image taken 5.1.23] Clifton Backies, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] The route sign in the Backies has disappeared. (Sign in situ: #193699.) The pole complete with concrete post is on the ground. Vandalism? Location: … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Foss Islands Path, York. [NOTE: Location on street view approximate.] I asked this cyclist if he’d mind my taking an image as he rode through the route 'closed' signs. Instead he stopped so I could get a better … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Foss Islands Path, York. [NOTE: Location on street view approximate.] The main sign is very visible to everyone approaching the temporary blockage. It is (almost) correct: This is a cycle route (though not a ‘lane’) … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Foss Islands Path, York. [NOTE: Location on street view approximate.] Ah, this poster uses the phrase “cycle/footpath”. And the image is clearly aimed cyclists though it ignores all other non-motorised users. And why … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Foss Islands Path, York. [NOTE: Location on street view approximate.] Lots of signage. Quantity rather than quality: it ignores the group that may be the largest users of this route: people on cycles. Other image this … [more]
Route sign - which should be removed now the new riverside route from Chamonix towards Lake Geneva has been opened.
[Image taken 20.11.22] Burton Stone Lane, York. Completely obstructed pavement. The traffic calming scheme is supposed to deliver benefits for pedestrians as well as other non motorised users of the route. See obvious effect on pedestrians: … [more]
Road closed, pedestrians can take their usual route without problem, but what about the signposted cycle route?
[Image taken 12.11.22] Stirling Road, York. Location of cycle parking in relation to the leisure facility - tenpin (www.tenpin.co.uk/our-locations/york/bowling/) - I assume they are intended to support. But no sign alerting people there … [more]
A non-standard route sign, pointing in somewhat ambiguous directions, at the junction of Tower Road and Glenorchard Road.
[Image taken 26.8.22] Clifton Backies, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] Clear signposting. Needs distances though. It is categorically a cycle route. But see: #185798, #185799. Problems with the Backies route: #185794. Other … [more]
[Image taken 20.8.22] James Street, York. This 'cycle lane' sign has bothered me for a while so today I stopped to take an image. It's ambiguous at best. Or is it wrong? Is it directing people to turn left along the Foss Islands Path … [more]
[UPDATE: #185661] [Image taken 31.7.22] Ahead left, Butcher Terrace (left), Terry Ave (ahead), Millennium Bridge (ahead right), York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] This sign is filthy and illegible. It’s also unhelpful or just … [more]
[Image taken 31.7.22] Marker 1 on the York Orbital (http://e2e.bike/e2e-bike/yorkshire-ridings/york-orbital-route-guide/). Butcher Terrace (left), Terry Ave (ahead), Millennium Bridge (right), York. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] … [more]
[UPDATE: The route is now open again see: #186191 and links.] [Image taken 31.7.22] Terry Avenue, York (looking towards Butcher Terrace). [NOTE: No street view at this location.] The motor vehicle diversion infra is slowly being removed. … [more]
[UPDATE: Signs still in situ 31.7.22 see: #185184] [Image taken 23.7.22] NCN65, near the Millennium Bridge (right) and Butcher Terrace (left), York. [NOTE: No street view here] In contrast to my gripe here: #184930 the two signs in this … [more]

[Image taken 19.7.22] Terry Avenue, York. This Road Ahead Closed sign close to the exit from/entrance to the campsite is inaccurate. It is closed ahead to motor vehicles. Context: #184932. Other images Terry Avenue today and links: #184930.
[Image taken 19.7.22] Terry Avenue, York. This Road Ahead Closed sign is inaccurate. It fails York and its residents. The route is open - to people cycling, scooting, walking, wheelchairing... It's a shady, quiet and pollution free option … [more]
A route sign (if you can read the small writing) pointing cyclists the wrong way along a one-way road, marked as 'No Entry'. The 'West City Way' emblem has its own separate post.
[Image taken 14.7.22] Clifton Backies, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location. Location approximate.] The signage has disappeared. This means: People may get lost/confused. This is a blind corner even when the foliage is under … [more]
Finally cyclists on NCN route 2 can escape the tedious and hilly road - but there really should be a coastal route all the way through the country park to the left.
Route sign telling cyclists to stay on the road and turn right at the roundabout - although there's an obvious off-road option.
NCN route 2 turns left at the roundabout. It would be easy to take it off-road, but the local dog-walkers might object.
[UPDATE: 27.8.22 #185803] [UPDATE: 3.8.22 Someone has cut the foliage that covered the front of the sign exactly following the edge. It is legible again though the blind corners of the entry/exit have not been cut back. So perhaps the sign … [more]
Route sign in Sandgate - but the route towards Folkestone ends at some steps, so NCN route 2 uses the road just inland.
[UPDATE: 20.6.22. Now the sign itself is obscured not just the content: #183650, and the sight lines are even further reduced.] [UPDATE: 13.6.22. The writing on the sign is completely obscured. There are no sightlines at all. So the cyclist … [more]
[Image taken 14.5.22] View of Marygate car park, York from the eastern end of Scarborough Bridge. [NOTE: No streetview at this location] There are no signed entrances/exits between the car park and the infrastructure around it for people … [more]
[UPDATE 7.5.22: Resolved. A tall friend was able to balance on the fence and bash the direction pointers back into position.] [Image taken 6.5.22] Crichton Avenue roundabout, junction with the entrance to/exit from Kingsway North (east) … [more]
[Image taken 26.4.22] Haxby Road, York. Helpful cycle direction signage. But each sign should also include the distance (compare with: #182456). That enables people (including pedestrians and wheelchair users) to decide if they can manage … [more]
NCN regional route 15 rejoins the sea wall here in Westgate-on-Sea - although Minnis Bay is behind the camera
[Image taken 14.4.22] Hawthorn Grove-East Parade, junction (roundabout) with Mill Lane, York. Diversion signs. Why no mention of Foss Islands Path which runs parallel for cyclists/scooter users? By contrast there are no signs at the other … [more]

[Image taken 7.4.22] Aldwark, close to the junction with St Saviour's Place, York. The driver of this car is not in the parking space - there's a cone in the way. The signs stating that the road is closed and that there is a diversion for … [more]
[Image taken 7.4.22] St Saviour's Place, junction with Aldwark, York. There are critical signs here. (Context and links: #181274.) But you can't see them as they are behind the black car. The signs: #181468 warn of a closed road and a … [more]

[Image taken on 5.4.22] Spen Lane, junction with St Andrewgate, York. This is the text – crucial diversion information – on the sign leant against the wall in: #181592. It’s not fulfilling the purpose for which it was placed here (and I'm … [more]
[Image taken on 5.4.22] Spen Lane junction with St Andrewgate, York. This is a cyclists diversion. But now which way? Context: #181468. Note the sign against the wall on the left: #181593. Other image here today: #181591. Other images … [more]
[Image taken on 25.3.22] Thorpe Street, junction with Southlands Road, York. Yes there is a yellow diversion sign but it's a long way ahead. Context and links: #180483. Other image, other topic today: #180482.
[Image taken on 25.3.22] Swann Street, junction with Nunnery Lane, York. The arrow shows a diversion sign for the Clementhorpe Flood Alleviation Scheme. It's a very long way ahead. Would it be visible in the dark, in bad weather, if your … [more]
[Image taken on 25.3.22] Victor Street, junction with Nunnery Lane/Price's Lane, York. Despite being a clear cycle route and immediately opposite your standpoint, the cycle infra ahead is NOT the route you want if you are following the … [more]
[NOTE: Terry Avenue closed to diverted motor traffic and reopened to non motorised-users on Friday, 8 July 2022. Search on 'clementhorpefloodworksdiversion'.] [Image taken on 25.3.22] Victor Street, junction with Nunnery Lane/Price's Lane, … [more]
