[Image taken 30.1.23] Retail parks link, Off Stirling Road, Clifton Moor, York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location]. Looking towards the retail park with Tesco on it. Compare my image with street view: the wooden fencing on the right has been added. However, it serves no function and requires maintenance. Importantly for route users, it narrows the available space. You can't/don't go right up to it and a cycle could not 'over hang' it as you could if it were not here. Note also that the triangle of soil on the other side of the added fencing is bare in street view. This means people on the link route close to the zebra, people on the zebra and motorists nearing the zebra on the road from the northern (and, I think likely also the southern) side could see who else was approaching. This seems to be to have been safer (if less attractive) than the current situation. Perhaps low level planting would be cover the bare ground but mean everyone could see and be seen over it. Context: and links: #190548.
