Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. The two planters have been moved from their proper positions by vandals.
Trial filter as part of a new Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Levenshulme. Motorists have parked in this manner to stop other motorists driving along the pavement to bypass the filters.
Several potentially serious issues here. The first is the requirement to give way to trams approaching over your shoulder, with little warning that this is about to happen. The second is the angle of the rails as they cross the road - thi ... [more]
Manchester China Town Faulkner St contraflow leads to the Tower Cycle hub # but one way st further South does not have contraflow in the other direction #72716 confusing. See
Exemption from prohibited turn allows cyclists to turn right to and from Park Crescent. It could do with an "Except Cyclists" plat under the one-way sign.
New cycle friendly road environment on Oxford Road Manchester. 20mph speed limit - 2 wide lanes (down from 4 narrow lanes) - restricted traffical make for a comfortable ride, so long as you avoid the narrow, humped, glass strewn channel tha ... [more]
These bollards were supposed to be spaced 1.7m apart (for 1.5m clearance) but they've not been installed to this specification. The new wide waiting area was worth campaigning for - it's a vast improvement over the original 'S-bend' proposa ... [more]
Who will end up as a bus sandwich? Portland Street cycle lanes are worse than nothing https://t.co/5IO2F2Kpjc https://t.co/gm3PukzOwC Link to their blog post: http://madcyclelanesofmanchester.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/the-cycle-route-into- ... [more]
Looking along Long Millgate from the cycle track crossing the tramway. The right turn ban at the mini-roundabout should exempt cycles since the road that way is buses, taxis and cycles only, unless the ban exists due to the unusually close ... [more]
No Entry except trams and cycles, straight ahead into Exchange Square. The painted cycle lane appears to encourage cyclists to risk left hooks rather than cycling closer to the tramlines. The road-width decreases suddenly just behind the ... [more]
The Dantzic Street cycleway studs lead users to the carriageway, but for how long is it two-way? The base of the bollard that has been removed could be a trip hazard for pedestrians.
Staggered toucan crossing across Cheetham Hill Road at Trinity Way junction, but nothing obvious on either side that permits cycling on the footway.
Bollards closing off old road at Hendham Vale, retaining cycle and walking access through to Kingsbridge Road.
I'm sure this could have been implemented better. Bear in mind anyone approaching this on the road will be cycling at speed, possibly being followed by a bus (or some other large vehicle) in the bus lane.
A city-bound cycle lane on Rochdale Road. Although not continuous, it has its uses for passing queuing traffic.
Cycles allowed to make right turn outside Oxford Road station into Whitworth Street West (and thus access Oxford Street), when other vehicles restricted to left turn only.
UPDATE4 A few neighbours have reported attempted muggings on Hulme Street (by the Mancunian way crossing) over the last few weeks. Please stay safe if you are in the area after dark! https://twitter.com/redbricksonline/status/105760833704 ... [more]
Protected cycle lane next to a 30mph dual carriageway in Manchester near British Cycling's National Cycle Centre. This side road is for an event car park, quiet at times, very busy at others. Crossing the side road has two options: (1 ... [more]
UPDATE It is signed that Deansgate is closed to motor traffic (except for access) and yet there is a 4 lane dual carriageway that accesses from here. UPDATE the lane directions have been changed yet again but still NO Advanced Stop Line ... [more]
Nice use of LED lights in the dotted white line for the advisory cycle lane. Can't understand why this advisory feature is only part time from 7am to 7pm - does anyone know if this is unique and/or legal ?
A two way cycle route on the left, and a one way bus lane on the right. Buses enter this lane at speed from a 40mph dual carriageway. Cyclists heading towards the camera are supposed to ride near the white line, close to and unsegregated fr ... [more]
