| 161301 |  | Build a cycle superhighway along the wide and unused grass verge of Monmouth Drive all the way from Banners gate to Somerville Rd. For more information please see here: peacemakerfoundation.com/2021/01/06/a-proposal-to-build-a-cycle-superhighway-along-monmouth-drive-in-sutton-coldfield-uk/ | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160525 |  | Create off-carriageway cycle tracks & crossings to link A47 Parkway and Lichfield Rd routes. Currently cyclists are expected to use advisory lanes on busy main road - they offer little protection. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160524 |  | Upgrade cycle crossings and add cycle tracks to this busy roundabout | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160435 |  | Add separate cycle signals on this junction to help pop-up cycle route that should be made permanent | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160434 |  | Pedestrianise Gooch St and Horton Sq in this area, allowing for busy cycle route to pass which is currently plagued with parked cars. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 160433 |  | Allow cycles to flow between Corporation St and Newton St. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160432 |  | Allow 2-way cycles on Pershore St so cyclists can connect with pedestrianised Edgbaston St | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160431 |  | Use bollards/paint/paving to indicate cycle routes through Victoria Square as it is a key connection between cycle routes. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160430 |  | Good segregated cycle lane ends here. Continue to Five Ways. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160429 |  | Service road that is currently driveways could be segregated cycle track. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160428 |  | Cycle lanes and crossings needed on Trinity Rd between Aston Park and A34 cycle route. This would then be a key cycle link. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160427 |  | Cycle lane needed here to link train station to Ward End cycle route | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 160426 |  | Needs toucans or cycle signals to allow crossing all arms of roundabout. Cycle track/lane needed to link to existing cycle route on Landor St. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 159189 |  | Hole Lane, which is narrow, is used as a rat-run, and this crossroads on a busy road is dangerous and difficult to negotiate on a bike. Close Hole Lane to through motor traffic, and improve the junction to make it cycle-friendly. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 159188 |  | There's lots of space here for a badly needed protected cycleway on this busy road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 158973 |  | The park side of Monmouth Drive is absolutely perfect for a very long smooth cycle-super highway (or cycle-scooterhighway). Absolutely zero interference to residents or drivers and reduces congestion in park and gives night time riding option. Have been writing about transport for over 10 years and have literally never seen a more suitable location. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 155874 |  | Needs a proper pedestrian crossing | Track: Problem track |
| 155445 |  | Barrier on cycle way forces cyclists to dismount. Should be more cycle friendly | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152207 |  | Surface on former flagship Rea Valley cycleway very poor, esp with tree roots, between Fordhouse Lane and Hazelwell Rd. Badly in need of resurfacing for years. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 151601 |  | Some form of filter is needed here to stop it being used as a rat run. There is a nursery at the corner which is negatively impacted by the pollution and noise of through traffic | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 150278 |  | Pavement parking is a problem here. Car owners should be fined. | Track: Problem track |
| 150277 |  | Pavement parking is a problem here. These cars need to be moved. | Track: Problem track |
| 149789 |  | Surface here by the bridge on the Middlemore Road side just after a sharp left turn is in very poor condition. You could easily come off! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 148339 |  | Widen the road by 3 feet, and widen pavement by 6ft narrow road nasty bend,narrow pavement next to school what could go wrong???!!!Make this a safer route to school | Track: Problem track |
| 146501 |  | Dangerous junction for cyclists trying to cross Golden Hillock Rd. Improve crossing here so cyclists can use | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 146298 |  | The road narrows to one lane around this bend - evidence that cars don't need both lanes. Much of it is used for parking in the previous stretch. Linking residential to supermarkets (asda quinton) is crucial to getting people routinely using their bikes. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 144963 |  | Steps stop this being a cycleway. Remove steps and improve disabled access too. The other option is to shut Bell Holloway to traffic..as its narrow and subject to frequent fly tipping. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 144787 |  | Rat run avoiding Northfield main road and lights. The whole estate from Meadow Brook Rd to Long Mynd Rd and Spiceland Rd are used as a cut thorugh. Speeds exceed 60 mph in a 30 mph and what was a once quiet neighbourhood is now blighted by through traffic. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 144783 |  | Total rat run 1950s road very narrow and hilly blind spots. speeding cars and motorbikes 7.5 ton limit but ignored by many large trucks which have to go on the pavement to get by parked cars. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 144777 |  | Rat running, excessive speed, heavy lorries on narrow (20ft wide) 1950 designed estate roads. Barely wide enough for 2cars to safely pass. Add in on road parking(pavement!!) and it is unsafe. Close the road to through traffic and improve air quality, safety and well being for hundreds of residents. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 144775 |  | Rat running, excessive speed, heavy lorries on narrow (20ft wide) 1950 designed estate roads. Barely wide enough for 2cars to safely pass. Add in on road parking(pavement!!) and it is unsafe. Close the road to through traffic and improve air quality, safety and well being for hundreds of residents. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 144772 |  | Parking on both sides narrows carriageway on this route into harborne..the dangers are obvious | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 144505 |  | Pavements are narrow | Track: Problem track |
| 141933 |  | A441 between Stirchley and Selly Park is easily wide enough to have a cycleway. The removal of extra lanes on both sides and of on-street parking would actually make things much safer for motorists, too. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141912 |  | Pavement along Mulberry Road very dangerous with cracked slabs, for pedestrians | Track: Problem track |
| 141887 |  | 2 Way City Centre Loop. Around the pedestrianised centre. To manage cycle flows into and around or through the city centre better. I have a design but cannot put a polygon on your system "Widen My Path" @James_Martin001 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141863 |  | Pavement is seriously blocked by inconsiderate car owners. Existing parking laws should be enforced. | Track: Problem track |
| 141857 |  | Tram tracks are horrifically dangerous when cycling. The system is seriously flawed. A rethink is needed urgently! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141856 |  | Pavement here is permanently blocked with parked cars. It needs clearing. | Track: Problem track |
| 141830 |  | Inconsiderate drivers block the pavement here. They should show more respect to the local community. | Track: Problem track |
| 141829 |  | Close one end of this street to prevent car racing | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 141552 |  | Get rid of cars completely on the back streets of Kings Heath - No one adheres to 20 mph. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141496 |  | Pavements in Selly Oak are dangerous and difficult to walk on due to uneven slabs, damaged by motor vehicles. | Track: Problem track |
| 141141 |  | Please stop cars parking on the pavement. Cars frequently park 'full on' the pavement, particularly during evenings, sometimes totally blocking it. | Track: Problem track |
| 140779 |  | With the proposed closure of School Road, traffic will be forced down Cotton Lane. Cotton Lane has a single pavement between school road and number 15. Next to number 15 is a blind corner. Children and families regularly cross the road here while cars are speed past. Cars coming from School Road cannot see anyone starting to cross the road. Cars are parked on the road between School Road and Grove Avenue, causing single-file traffic. There's a second blind corner on Cotton Lane with a single pavement just after one passes Grove Avenue. Cars are also parked on the road here. Increased traffic here would be more dangerous than it already is. Suggestion: Speed bumps, and signs near the blind corners. Mirrors to help people crossing the blind corner in front of number 15. No increase in traffic going down Cotton Lane in response to School Road closure. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 140584 |  | Is Temple Street a shared space or not? it's just quite naff at the moment and there's a lot of unused car parking. Remove it all, repave it and pedestrianise it properly, planting new trees as far as Bull Street | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 140467 |  | New route here | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140465 |  | New route needed | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140464 |  | New route needed | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140463 |  | New route needed | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140462 |  | There could be a route developed here from Brook Road to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. This would enable a vast population to avoid heavy traffic routes into the city centre. Requires bridge or subway over railway line, but would save time, money in long run | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140170 |  | No pavement at all either side of this road as it enters on to Wake Green Road. Some marking for pedestrians needed as road is dangerous with parking obscuring the view of traffic, and traffic turning into the road at speed. | Track: Problem track |
| 139733 |  | Pedestrian crossing/lights needed here. Cars tend to speed across this junction and it's very scary to cross as a pedestrian. Someone will get seriously hurt here. | Track: Problem track |
| 139726 |  | Bollards need to be installed due to constant double parking on yellow lines, blocking both sides of the road and pavement and the cycle path. | Track: Problem track |
| 139605 |  | This is a busy route serving 3 primary schools and 2 main shopping areas (Swan Centre and Yew Tree). Footpaths are quite wide here and could accommodate traffic free cycle route. This would also give access to the Cole Valley cycle route through to Heartlands Hospital and Stechford, and to the Grand Union canal route for access to central Birmingham. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139581 |  | Remove the parking and vehicle access here (it's a dead end anyway) and make this a nice boulevard looking out over the pool | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 139575 |  | Put a bridge across th railway here at th end of Highbury rd, lettin pedestrians and cyclists gain access to th park, an providing a through route for cyclists going on to other cycle routes, away from the narrow route of dads lane, pron to speeding cars and central reservations that get cyclists squeezed to th curb by Considerate drivers | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139503 |  | The Raddlebarn/Heely/Umberslade road junction has too high a volume of traffic, making it hazardous to cyclists and those crossing the road. Restricting vehicle movements at this junction may help. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 139492 |  | Why is Gibbins Road a through route for motor traffic? It runs parallel to the A38, and is between a park and a residential area! | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 139490 |  | As a temporary measure pending extension of the route, need some safe provision for southbound cyclists to join the segregated cycleway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139489 |  | Traffic lights do not appear to respond to cyclists on the cycleway? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139488 |  | Motorists notoriously bad at observing the stop line here, and drive onto the cycleway without checking for approaching cyclists. Could easily close this junction to motor traffic entirely, there's no need for Sir Harry's Road to be a through route. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 139282 |  | Residential area with a school at a very busy street. Given the high traffic volume posing a danger to pupils, and the noise and air pollution posing a risk to their health, please: - remove on-street parking - add bicycle lane to allow school children and families to cycle to school - reduce the speed limit to 15-max. 20 mph | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139281 |  | Residential area with a nursery at a very busy street. Given the high traffic volume posing a danger to small children, and the noise and air pollution posing a risk to their health, please: - reduce dual lane to single lane to reduce traffic - transform other lane into bicycle lane to allow school children and families to cycle to nursery/school - reduce the speed limit to 15-max. 20 mph | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139280 |  | Residential area with an elderly home, 1 planned (August) and 1 existing nursery and 1 primary school. Given the high traffic volume posing a danger to the elderly and small children, and the noise and air pollution posing a risk to their health, please: - reduce dual lane to single lane to reduce traffic - transform other lane into bicycle lane to allow school children and families to cycle to nursery/school - reduce the speed limit to 15-max. 20 mph | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 138943 |  | Shared cycle/pavement, unable to socially distance as both are too narroe | Track: Problem track |
| 138941 |  | Shared cycle lanes far too narrow, need dedicated cycle lanes | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 138905 |  | Wilful habitual speeding by large loud excessively high powered cars limits who can safely use this RD, this prevents safe cycling and walking, and fear of reckless driving also inhibits Normal social interaction between the residents, time to limit cars size and prevent their excessive speed, and give the streets back to more appropriate ways of convayace more suited to the urban environment | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 138894 |  | This RD is used as a rat run by cars avoiding avenue Rd and th High St, creating intolerable levels of traffic(noise, pollution) for a residential back street | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 138794 |  | Narrow pavement, with 3 bus stops and a guard rail on the outside mean that this is a busy place and allows little space between people walking along and waiting for buses | Track: Problem track |
| 138776 |  | Parked cars on dual carriageway hinder safe cycling. Cycle Lane needed to allow connection between bournbrook cycle path and Harborne | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 138775 |  | Cycle Lane suddenly runs out and cyclists have to merge with dual carriage way at a bus stop!! Not at all safe | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 138733 |  | Using a one way system would massively improve the safety of everyone using this road. Closing this junction is the solution to a potentially bigger problem emerging. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 138732 |  | Motorists travel far too fast through this junction. Closing it would reduce opportunities to race. It's for everyone's safety. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 138718 |  | This is an extremely busy and dangerous junction. The speed at which vehicles travel increases the already existing dangers to other motorists and pedestrians. Closing this junction would not only improve the safety of motorists and residents but would also make valuable and positive contributions to the environment. To ignore all of these factors would be purely negligent. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 138717 |  | This is an extremely busy and dangerous junction. The speed at which vehicles travel increases the already existing dangers to other motorists and pedestrians. Closing this junction would not only improve the safety of motorists and residents but would also make valuable and positive contributions to the environment. To ignore all of these factors would be purely negligent. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 138594 |  | Too dangerous for bikes, and is a deterrent for Solihull based cyclists getting in to the city centre. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 137787 |  | Small Heath to Yardley Blue route needed here | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137782 |  | Very narrow bridge, Can this be widened? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137780 |  | Cycle route ends from Sparkbrook connect to Battery Way. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137762 |  | This road is used as a high speed rat run from Avenue Road to High Street. Block this road west of the junction with Highbury Road to prevent traffic speeding from Avenue Road to the High Street. Instead traffic from Avenue Rd will have to access Station Rd via Grange Road and Highbury Road. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 137761 |  | This is a high speed rat run to and from the High Street with routine speeding. Block the road here so that rat running traffic cannot travel straight from High St to Avenue Road. Traffic will have to continue via York Road and Station Road instead. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 137760 |  | This is an advisory cycle with routine speeding and close passes. It is used as a high speed rat run. Physical Traffic calming measures such as speed bumps should be introduced. Or the road closed at its western end. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137759 |  | This is an advisory cycle with routine speeding and close passes. It is used as a high speed rat run. Physical Traffic calming measures such as speed bumps should be introduced. Or the road closed at its western end. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137758 |  | Narrow pavements hemmed in by guardrails on both sides of the road make social distancing difficult. Pavement should be widened here. | Track: Problem track |
| 137757 |  | This is a dangerous high speed road which deters cyclists.. A segregated cycle route is required either side of this road and the width of the footway should be maintained. The segregated cycle route should be established within the width of the existing wide road carriageway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137756 |  | The proposed widening of the A457 here will result in a narrower footway which will become shared use for cyclists and pedestrians and make social distancing difficult especially with the bus stops here. The road shoulf not be widened in order to maintain the width of the pavement. | Track: Problem track |
| 137755 |  | Pavements here will be made narrower and converted to shared use cycle and pedestrian as a result of the proposed A457 road widening scheme. Bus shelters along here will exacerbate tbe situation. Social distancing will be impossible if the A457 road widening goes ahead. | Track: Problem track |
| 137754 |  | The pavements here are narrow with busy bus stops and are hemmed in by pedestrian guardrails. It's impossible to socially distance here. Guardrails need removing and pavement widened. | Track: Problem track |
| 137753 |  | Close this road to through motor traffic. It is a narrow road with dangerous high speed rat running. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 137752 |  | This is an advisory cycle route linking NCR route 5 with Kings Heath. Although a 20mph road, It has routine speeding which deters cyclists. Some form of traffic calming is urgently needed along this road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137751 |  | This is a dangerous high speed road with routine speeding and is an advisory cycle route. So high speed close passes are quite common. Traffic calming measures are urgently needed here such as speed humps. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137750 |  | This is a dangerous high speed road with routine speeding and is an advisory cycle route. So high speed close passes are quite common. Traffic calming measures are urgently needed here such as speed humps. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137596 |  | Remove the hatching in the centre of the road and replace with a cycle lane | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136757 |  | This needs to be a pedestrian crossing controlled by lights | Track: Problem track |
| 136616 |  | Pinch point...Footpath narrows a lot. Redesign junction to give space to pedestrians and cyclists. It has been forgotten about for years as it is on the edge of 2 council areas. | Track: Problem track |
| 136611 |  | Very narrow pathway and people cannot social distance here. Make path one way until a proper solution can be found. | Track: Problem track |
| 136597 |  | The pedestrian lights here have a long delay and give precedence to cars. Shorten the time before they stop traffic and give pedestrians priority | Track: Problem track |
| 136595 |  | This junction is hard to cross, Yellow box and cycle lane would allow vehicles to cross when the pelican crossing lights are red. Alternatively, put traffic lights on the junction | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136586 |  | The present cycle path on chester road is more of a car park, impossible to use due to residends parking on it, chester road is very busy and not cycle friendly, | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
