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.
The entry to the Tombland cycleway if heading south on Palace Street. Should you want to turn right in to Wensum Street...?
New 1.5m advisory cycle lanes on Palace Street work when there's no traffic, see #72469 for rush hour.
1.5m advisory cycle lanes have been added to Palace Street with limited success. There is a pair of bollards just before the up ramp.
Palace Street was closed for six months for construction works in Tombland. It has reopened with advisory cycle lanes. Now there is queuing traffic and Norwich drivers seem unaware that they need to keep out of the lane. Couldn't this … [more]
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.
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.
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.
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.
Panorama of Saint Stephens Street, Red Lion Street and Westlegate. It is proposed to improve the streetscape by removing much of the signal, sign and railing clutter.
Junction of Westlegate and Saint Stephens Street and Red Lion Street. It's proposed to close Westlegate (behind the camera) to motor vehicles and to close Red Lion Street to private motors, which would allow much of the traffic signal, … [more]
Somewhat confusing signs near the end of King Street: the contraflow path on the left is shared use while one of the no entry signs has an 'except cycles', though I don't think it was intended that this section is two way.
This part of King Street has a contraflow shared use path on the left and a narrow mandatory cycle lane on the right.
