Shared use path crossing Hutchinson Road. This could be improved by keeping the path level and adding give way on the carriageway.
Anti cycling barriers where Cricket Way crosses Bishy Barnebee Way. A cargo bike cannot easily go through.
Unnecessary barriers at the junction of Cricket Way and the cycleway along Three Score Road. Note the bypass route on the left.
NCN 1 leaves the railway path at Hellesdon Road temporarily and continues on shared use to the right.
Bollards protect people emerging from the path on the left. Great to see the bollards have reflectors and are marked by while lines.
The junction of The Avenues and Coleman Road. Segregated cycle tracks are proposed for The Avenues, what will the junction layout be?
A view down The Avenues. It is proposed to have segregated cycle tracks on both sides. Ed: A short video of that scheme can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFkyEZ8iyCY
Very narrow central cycle lane on Brazen Gate. The large refuge on the left may provide space to improve this.
The Yellow Pedalway, aka Lakenham Way, is a well used shared use route of about 2.5m width. The proposal is to change this to a 2m footway and 3m segregated cycle track with improved landscaping.
Ipswich Road. The proposal is to remove the turning area and centre bollards and formalise some of the parking on the left and add segregated cycle tracks on both sides.
Hall Road. The proposal is to remove the centre turning area, reduce the speed limit from 40mph to 30mph and add segregated cycle tracks. The trees on the right may have to be removed with compensating trees added behind the camera.
Looking up the hill towards Newmarket Road. It is proposed that the cycleway at the crest of the hill will be two way, however it's unclear how those heading up the hill would join it.
Slip road from Newmarket Road to Eaton. The proposal is to widen the cycle track and make it two way.
The Pink Pedalway cycle route crosses Jarrold's Footbridge and then heads to the city via the path turning past the bench in the middle right of the picture.
The Pink Pedalway crosses the road here on a raised table. Additionally there is a protected merge lane to the main carriageway.
Gurney Road has been improved with a 2.5m smooth shared use path, a narrowed part for motor traffic, the removal of the centre line, a 20mph limit and some tables and speed cushions.
A Maderna Truck XXL cargo bike on Britannia Road, Mousehold Heath with Norwich Cathedral in the background.
The crossing from the slip road to Eaton on Newmarket Road. It is proposed to add a signalised crossing here.
Newmarket Road junction with Christchurch Road and Lime Tree Road. The toucan could be replaced by a 'green scramble' to allow cycles to join the proposed on-road cycle tracks from the off-road track behind the camera.
There is some well-intentioned but rather confusing infrastructure here. You need to stop and think how to use it, which is a fail. The intention seems to be to allow those coming from the left to join the shared use behind the camera.
There is some well-intentioned but rather confusing infrastructure here. You need to stop and think how to use it, which is a fail. The point here seems to be to allow right turns (going to the left out of the picture).

Footway on the south side of Newmarket Road, cycling is not legal here. Although this could be made shared use there is the issue of blind entrances and crossing side roads.
Newmarket Road gets wider here in the south west direction. Segregated cycle tracks could be built here by replacing the two-stage crossing with a single stage or moving the crossing to the other side of the junction, see #64830.
Newmarket Road with two lanes plus a bus lane. The challenge is how to provide high quality cycle tracks from this point up to where the road widens, which is about where the traffic signals are in the far distance.
At this point Newmarket Road has two lanes plus a bus lane. There is little remaining verge on the far side. The near side footway could be narrowed a little as there is not a huge number of people walking here.
Exit from cycle-only Little Bethel Street to Chapelfield North. The footway is continuous and the layout makes it clear that cyclists are crossing the footway.
North connection from King Street to the Novi Sad Friendship bridge, and also a bypass of the junction with Rouen Road. Odd to have a shared use sign when the route is segregated.
South connection from the Novi Sad Friendship bridge to King Street. There is plenty of room here for a protected merge in lane when heading away from the camera.
The River Wensum path as it approaches Carrow Road. The fork to the left joins Carrow Road while the path to the right goes under.
The River Wensum path as it passes under Carrow Road. The path is narrow and the surface a bit lumpy.
