I was cycling in Ross on Wye yesterday early afternoon from the direction of the B4234 Ledbury Road to the roundabout with junctions A40 Monmouth and M50 North Wales. On previous occasions, I entered the roundabout. I used the 5th exit but thought it would be safer to use the cycle path from Ledbury Road to the A40 Gloucester Road, using the pelican crossing about 200 metres past the junction. I did this safely. However, it would appear that the route takes you through the estate and brings you out further along the A40. I hadn’t used this route before, so I turned immediately right and headed towards what deceptively looked like a dropped kerb to rejoin the carriageway. However, once getting to it I realised it was a regular kerb edge and fell onto the road and into the traffic. More care needs to be used at this point or more signage is needed for clearer directions of the cycle path route.
Incident type: Bad road/path
Video of road hazards, potholes, obstacles, hazardous conditions and badly designed infrastructure. Not necessarily an accident or close call.
A stop sign operator is managing the safe movement of traffic into a side street. It’s all good until he puts the sign down and waves the cars through.
Instead of getting off the road he chooses to dawdle down the bike lane with his back to the traffic.
You wouldn’t do that in a lane full of cars, would you?
It’s a fun down, but not this time. Dodged a tree with only minor cuts. Other riders weren’t so lucky I heard. It has since been cleared.
This is an example of poor trail and intersection design.
This is a bad intersection for pedestrians.
The PATH created & marked for cyclists and sidewalk are blocked by maintenance workers who have parked on the sidewalk are blocking the sidewalk with their vehicle and the bike path with themselves.
Ingress of Advanced Stop Line ASL, by driver of Black Golf SC21 WVK restricts cyclist from reaching safe position at junction.
This set of lights regularly fails to register presence of cyclists continuing North on Cycle route – as the censor is obstructed by the backboard above to the lights – Although reported to East Renfrewshire Council on numerous occasions – not action taken in last 2 years #NoLegalProtectionForCyclistsInScotland. ASL infringement – may demonstrate the driver drove this car on a road in a manner that falls below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver.
