161230 | ![]() | Approach to the traffic free section of Academy Way Cycle symbols encourage cyclists to adopt a sensible road position to avoid left hooks. | Road environment: Good practice road |
161229 | ![]() | The signs can't all be correct! | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
161228 | ![]() | Bicycles only westbound on Academy Way | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
161224 | ![]() | End of cycleway - with textured paving to stop people continuing on the pavement. But, no dropped kerb for cyclists to get onto the road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
161216 | ![]() | Cycleway ends leaving cyclists on the wrong side of the street. Where are cyclists supposed to go? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
161206 | ![]() | What on earth is the point of converting this 8 metre stretch of pavement to shared use? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
157283 | ![]() | The A57 from Peel Green (and further East) to the boundary with Warrington is a decent cycle path, one suitable for all users. It comes to an abrupt end at Hollins Green and from there to Woolston, it is 50mph and narrow. I wince every time I see a cyclist tailgated by a heavy goods vehicle. A decent width pavement upgrade is a minimum requirement between Hollins Green and Woolston, but a mixed use path would be even better. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
155496 | ![]() | Bollards with reflective strips replace the tight chicane barriers that were there before #84832 | Obstruction: Good practice obstructions |
155491 | ![]() | Detail of edge of cycleway. Wooden edging pegged into the top of a very steep bank. It is OK at the moment, but doesn't look like it was built to last. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
155484 | ![]() | Woolson New Cut greenway. New tarmac surface, but not really wide enough. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
155478 | ![]() | Woolson New Cut greenway | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
155475 | ![]() | This cycleway meets another cycleway at a T junction - so why the "END OF CYCLE ROUTE" sign and incorrect tactile paving? | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
155474 | ![]() | Brand new road with no constraints of space - so why is the cycleway design so dangerous that cyclists are told to get off? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
154783 | ![]() | Total shit at the arse end of the car park. Do better @asda and maybe our towns wouldn't be so clogged with motor vehicles. This is a town centre store in the middle of Warrington FFS. t.co/AUHLNFNlCb See also #84872. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
153964 | ![]() | Dangerous road to cross between cycle routes - needs a crossing for pedestrians and cyclists | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
151271 | ![]() | Signage needed | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
151270 | ![]() | Signage needed | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
150153 | ![]() | A-frames and narrow paths exclude use of bike trailers, electric mobility scooters, and non-standard bikes (often used by the most vulnerable road users). At best this prevents use of quiet routes, at worse it forces these users onto neighbouring 50mph roads and a dual carriageway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
147596 | ![]() | Provision on the roundabout needed for cyclists. When heading north cyclists are forced into the middle lane as the left turn is for the motorway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
146141 | ![]() | An array of endless chicanes, all of which are easily bypassed...unless you're in a wheelchair, mobility scooter etc. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
144947 | ![]() | This hump (perhaps 2 feet high) of earth and tree roots is all that prevents easy access between the nearby housing estate and the route to Hollins Green. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
144945 | ![]() | This hump (perhaps 2 feet high) of earth and tree roots is all that prevents easy access between the nearby housing estate and the route to Hollins Green. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
144624 | ![]() | Footpath is too narrow, users forced onto the road to pass each other including at a blind. No space for prams. | Track: Problem track |
142754 | ![]() | Busy road with parked cars and no provision for safe sysling for main route into/out of town | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
142749 | ![]() | Rushgreen road narrow past sainsbury's, lots of close passes in this area. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141482 | ![]() | More pointless barriers. Cyclists aren't stupid. If there's a risk of conflict, put SLOW on the surface, as we do on the roads. Don't put these unforgiving barriers in. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
141187 | ![]() | The link between Academy Way and Hall Street is not easy for cyclists, especially if trying to maintain distancing. The pavement/road crossing need to be widened | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141185 | ![]() | A ramp would be better than steps for cyclists | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141184 | ![]() | A ramp would be better than steps for cyclists | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141183 | ![]() | Path widening would help cyclists stay safe away from the road | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141182 | ![]() | A foot/cycle path across this field would provide a useful link | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141181 | ![]() | This is a signed cycle route to Vine Crescent, but the path & bridge need upgrading | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141180 | ![]() | Upgrading this footbridge would open up a useful cycle route | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141179 | ![]() | The cycle links here are clumsy - some dropped kerbs and paint would help. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141178 | ![]() | The cycle path links are clumsy here - a bit of paint and a couple of dropped kerbs would help. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141175 | ![]() | Is there a way to get pedestrians/cyclists under the road here, rather than using the crossing? It would help keep everyone moving and improve safety. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141173 | ![]() | This section of the TPT needs widening and surfacing | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141172 | ![]() | A dropped kerb and wider pathway here needed to make this cycle route credible | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141171 | ![]() | (Big ticket item!) Replacing this footbridge cycleway would open up a link between Latchford and town centre, avoiding busy road junctions | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
141170 | ![]() | MIssing link in pavement/cycleway. necessitates crossing road twice. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
140433 | ![]() | Remove the parked cars from the pavement | Track: Problem track |
140428 | ![]() | The exit of the pop-up cycle lane on Bold Street is obstructed by barriers. See: www.cyclestreets.net/location/140387/ | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
140394 | ![]() | Last stretch of Black Bear Park greenway finally gets a tarmac surface. Unfortunately the anti-cycle barrier is #84821 wasn't removed while they were at it. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
140393 | ![]() | Black Bear park now surfaced - addresses the step. The ramp up to Kingsway could still do to be wider. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
140392 | ![]() | Sankey Street closed to cars to enable footway widening. | Road environment: Good practice road |
140390 | ![]() | Cones are now less cluttered and there is a more substantial barrier. However, the cycle lane is still unnecessarily narrow and blocked at the far end: #140387 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
140389 | ![]() | Entrance to covid-19 pop-up cycle lane blocked by cones and a sign. UPDATE NOV 2020: Covid cycle lane removed. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
140387 | ![]() | Pop-up cycle lane on Bold Street now has more substantial barriers ... obstructing the exit onto Wilson Patten Street | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
139548 | ![]() | The temporary crossing is welcome, but the pedestrian signal heads are facing the wrong way! | Track: Problem track |
139539 | ![]() | Cattle pen removed from central island to give more space to pedestrians as a resonse to the covid pandemic. Unfortunately the cycle is still very long so queues of pedestrians still build up. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
139538 | ![]() | Carriageway reallocated to create wider footway with temporary bus boarding platform as a response to the covid pandemic. | Road environment: Good practice road |
139537 | ![]() | Parking spaces taken out to widen the footway as a response to the covid pandemic. I'm not sure why they didn't take the whole width of the parking bay - or indeed some of the carriageway, which is very wide at this point. UPDATE November 2020: Parking spaces have been restored, forcing pedestrians back onto the narrow footway ... at the height of the second wave of the pandemic! | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
139535 | ![]() | Temporary covid footway widening. | Road environment: Good practice road |
139534 | ![]() | Temporary pedestrian crossing as a response to the covid pandemic. Unfortunately the pedestrian signal heads are facing the wrong way! It shows just how much road space is available. Update 2nd July: Pedestrian signal heads now facing the correct direction. Update 20th July: It has now been removed - presumably staying in place just long enough to qualify for the emergency funding. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
138130 | ![]() | The whole of London Road (A49) here has wide verges but no cycle path. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
138129 | ![]() | This road has been made one way so cars can now speed in one direction. There is plenty of room for a cycle way and pavement rather than the traffic calming measures that have forced pedestrians into the middle of the road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
138125 | ![]() | A large verge but no pavement or cycle way. There are a stream of big coaches and wagons that make this area dangerous. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
137957 | ![]() | Pedestrianise Stockton Heath High Street. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
137727 | ![]() | Covid-19 funding used to fund a very short stretch of this long needed improvement of this stretch of cycleway #52592 - (they didn't get as far as #84321) You would have thought that they would have cleared the vegetation while they were at it (photo taken a couple of weeks after the work finished!) | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
137725 | ![]() | Covid-19 road closure on Academy Way leaves a gap for cyclists. (if a bit on the tight side) UPDATE JAN 2021: This arrangement has now been made permanent #161230 | Temporary closure: Infrastructure closure |
137723 | ![]() | Someone forgot to include cyclists on the the covid-19 road closure sign. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
137722 | ![]() | Cyclists exempt from the covid-19 road closure on Winwick Street. Unfortunately the sign at the other end doesnt mention cyclists #137723 | Temporary closure: Good practice closure |
137717 | ![]() | Covid-19 road closure of Barbauld Street. This creates an opportunity to create a cycle route from Warrington Town centre to the south via Arpley Road (in the distance #137710 ) avoiding the Bridge Foot Giratory. A crossing of Wilson Patten Street is needed. | Temporary closure: Infrastructure closure |
137710 | ![]() | Opportunity to create a cycle route into the town centre from Arpley Road to the recently closed stretch of Barbauld Street (in the distance #137717 ). Just needs a short stretch of cycle path from here to a toucan crossing of Wilson Patten Street (A5061). | Other: Infrastructure general |
137111 | ![]() | More space for pedestrians is needed on Stockton Heath High Street. This is a well used street with people needing to queue outside shops. The pavements are narrow (very narrow in places) and there are long delays at the pedestrian crossing. The carriageway is mostly very wide and there is space allocated for on street parking so there is plenty of potential to reallocate space for wider pavements. Simply putting stickers on a narrow pavement to tell pedestrians to "Maintain the Gap" without providing the space to make this possible is not an adequate response. See: www.cyclestreets.net/location/137023/ And the one-way pedestrian system is frankly absurd. Keeping to the left on a wide pavement would be sensible, when the other direction is on the other side of the A49 it is simply impractaclke. Are pedestrians walking from East Avenue to the High Street really expected to walk all the way up to the crossing at London Bridge and back along the other side of the road? See: www.cyclestreets.net/location/137041/ Measures that are needed: 1. Take as much space as possible from the carriageway by narrowing the traffic lanes to the absolute minimum and remove all on street parking on the A49 London Road between the Bridgewater Canal and the Ship Canal and on the A56 Walton Road from Victoria Square to Whitefield Road. Use this to widen the pavements. 2. Introduce a 20mph speed limit on the A49 and A56 so that pedestrians can cross where they need to rather than have to wait at the crossings. 3. Minimize the signal delays at the crossings to reduce the build up of queues - or better still convert them to zebra crossings. 4. Provide more crossings. These are most needed where the path from the car park reaches the London Road just south of the Church and in the vicinity of East Avenue. 5. Move the south bound bus stops to a place where the pavement can be made wider: www.cyclestreets.net/location/137034/ 6. Remove the railings where they restrict the pavement width at Victory Square: www.cyclestreets.net/location/137019/ | Track: Problem track |
137041 | ![]() | The road is wide enough for marked parking bays so plenty of room to widen the pavement, but what does Warrington Council do? Make the pavements one way! What are you supposed to do if you want to get to the high street? Walk all the way up to the crossing at the London Bridge and all the way back on the other side of the A49. UPDATE 25th JUNE: New temporary pedestrian crossing installed hee: #139534 | Road environment: Problem road |
137034 | ![]() | Pavement so narrow that the sides of the bus shelter had to be removed - yet the council put signs up telling pedestrians to "Maintain the Gap". How? UPDATE 25th June: Carriageway space has been reallocated to widen the bus stop: #139538 | Road environment: Problem road |
137023 | ![]() | The high street is very wide and even has space for parking bays, yet the best Warrington Borough Council can come up with as a response to the pandemic is stickers telling pedestrians to maintain their distance on the narrow pavement left over. UPDATE 25th June: The parking bays have now been reallocated to pedestrians: #139537 | Road environment: Problem road |
137021 | ![]() | What is needed is wider pavements - not signs telling pedestrians to mind the gap on a pavement that is obviously too narrow. The road is very wide here. UPDATE 25th June: barriers have been installed to widen the footway: #139535 | Road environment: Problem road |
137019 | ![]() | Just putting stickers down to tell pedestrians to "Maintain the Gap" when the pavement squeezes between a building and railings is rather missing the point. | Road environment: Problem road |
