Nice new raised parallel crossing in Bowthorpe where Boatman Way cycle path crosses Clover Hill Road. However, the warning signs from one direction include the Zebra crossing and Cycle route ahead signs whereas the other direction only h ... [more]

Continuous pavement design recently installed in Norwich. I give them kudos for trying. It's not up to Dutch standards & doesn't quite meet the criteria laid out by https://robertweetman.wordpress.com/2019/10/01/design-details-2/ Howe ... [more]

Wide and direct cycle crossing with segregated pedestrian crossing. Sadly this is two stage with a long wait at each stage.

As we arrived at @NorfolkCC HQ, something about the cycle lane directing us into the sharp edge of a sign made us suspect they're not great at #space4cycling! @NorwichCycling @bollocksinfra @Ed_Colman @SmudgeThomas https://t.co/kJ5BLcASZb

These prongs on Greater Anglia's regional Class 170 trains will support three bikes (although they can swing around a bit) - or most bikes will fit underneath.

It would be good to have a cycle-friendly crossing here for access from the north to Norwich station (not just the roundabout official route to the south).

This is the obvious route into Norwich station, not the roundabout official one.

Link to the cathedral close, Norwich

One arrow ahead and one to the right - according to OpenCycleMap cyclists should go to the right then either turn sharp left to the cathedral close, or keep right towards Norwich station - but you can go straight ahead and use the footway ... [more]

The main area of cycle parking (and taxi stand) on Norwich's Market Square

Useful, but it would be better if the sign made it clear the road was one-way in the wrong direction.

No Entry except cycles, Norwich (and bypass in front of the sign)

There should be cycle parking here at Norwich Castle - but space for wedding cars is more lucrative.

Typical - rather than just 'End of Cycleway' there should be a cycleway arrow to the right.

Start of riverside route, Norwich

There should really be a cycleway here between Norwich station and the river

This was a controversial contraflow because car parking should really have been removed to make spece - but it seems to be working well, with drivers and cyclists being considerate.

There could be better access to this cycleway in Norwich

No-one wants to walk or cycle on the central section!

Access to the riverside path. Norwich

Stepfree but very awkward access to the riverside path, Norwich!

The radial pedalway makes a discreet turn to the right here.

There are cycle routes on both sides of the river, it seems.
