Needs a sign to tell cyclists to go slow and look left as they come down the hill past Hinckley Street. In addition needs a clearer right of way for the cyclists plus a sign to tell drivers on Hinckley Street to make way and stop before the cycle way. Bikeways are desperately needed in this city but have to be done very well. This junction is very unsafe as currently designed.

185390

Absolutely awful junction - very unsafe. Must stop cars turning right as they come up the hill or put in a mini roundabout (the type that buses and lorries can drive over slowly if need be but visible for al)l. Even traffic lights would perhaps help. At the very very least a huge sign telling them to indicate. (update: apparently a clear right of way has recently been created for those coming up the hill which is an improvement. Not seen it yet but if so then hopefully there's a big stop sign for those coming down the hill.)

[Image taken: Date unknown] This is a Creative Commons image. As it shows a CrossCountry (www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk/) train I'm locating it at the company's HQ: 18 The Priory, Queensway, Birmingham, B4 6BS. The image is indicative to illustrate this report of yet another person who cannot lift her cycle onto hooks. She told me:
"I had to stand with my bike on a recent CrossCountry journey to ensure it wasn’t in the way, as I couldn’t lift it onto the hook with the impact of a frozen shoulder, something which commonly affects many menopausal but otherwise fit women. At least the hooks are ‘end on’, not sideways on CrossCountry trains – the ones in your pictures look impossible!" I had sent her the links: #173854, #183348.

Rea Valley Route at Cannon Hill Park - Cycling past the Fairground

Cycling past the Fairground. Plus runners and dog walkers. Path ahead was behind resurfaced.
