So you may have already read our explanation of the Cookridge Street controflow. What we've ended up with is sort-of-OK, but it only works if there aren't vehicles blocking it! In our opinion, physical separation (armadilloes or bollards) would improve the situation... oh wait, the Council can't do that cos they'd have to remove some car parking spaces... there's a multistorey car park about 20 metres away.

Woodhouse Lane next to the Merrion Centre. A prime example of the "bus lane dither" - you can go to the right of the island, in the bus lane, which might be blocked by buses. Or stay to the left, with taxis pulling in and out of the car park and Morrisons entrance.

Sad when cars wreck verges. Maybe we could get rid of the verge and have cycle lanes instead.

When the council (or whoever) do roadworks and have to block off lanes or roads, they tend to think about where traffic will go instead. Not for cyclists. No, you can just get off and walk. Or veer into traffic with not much warning. Almost seems like nobody who put these cones and signs up has ever ridden a bike.

Near Sheepscar interchange.
