| 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 |
| 136497 |  | Very dangerous...No cycle or pedestrian crossing here or on Rocky Lane. | Track: Problem track |
| 136495 |  | Widen path here to enable space for cyclists and pedestrians. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136490 |  | As a temporary measure paint one way markings on the narrow pavements to enable proper social distancing. | Track: Problem track |
| 136487 |  | Pinch point around bus stop and at corner of Howard Rd East. Widen footpath here. | Track: Problem track |
| 136485 |  | Cycle path needed here. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136473 |  | Path was built too narrow and needs widening as cyclists cannot pass pedestrians safely. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136422 |  | Cycle way to Boldmere and Wylde green | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136420 |  | Safer pedestrian and cycle ways along Walmley Ash Rd | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136413 |  | Create cycle way between Wylde Green and Sutton using the residential roads | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136403 |  | With Safe crossing between Wilkinson Close and Sommerville, the residential roads could be used as quieter cycleways to the centre and the park. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136395 |  | Make the cycle way underneath less gloomy, and more comforting | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136389 |  | Ensure the whole Wylde Green Rd has a cycle way. currently only a section has shared usage. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136388 |  | Materialise the 534 Cycleway with safe junctions and visible indications | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136386 |  | Materialise the 534 cycle way between New Hall Valley and Sutton Park with a lane | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136379 |  | The road and pavement is made very narrow by on road parking -- occupants have not alternatives. But this road is used as a short-cut by fast drivers: slow the speed of the road by giving priority to cycles and pedestrians as Dutch-style cycle-streets. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136364 |  | A4097 needs a segregated shared cycleway / footpath as traffic is fast, but quite a few persons need to travel on this route. Alternatively, make using the canal path easily accessible. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136237 |  | The roads around here are very narrow and footpaths sometimes non-existent on one side or other. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136233 |  | Take the cars off the existing cycle way | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136006 |  | The junction with Linden Road is busy for cars and difficult for cyclists to cross. Mary Vale Road is a link with Heath Road (from Northfield) and the Rea Valley. Perhaps traffic lights to control the crossing would assist all road users and reduce cars trying to overtake cyclists just after the junction | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135972 |  | The Greenway here is presently closed to cyclists but signing from Bournville park and dismount signs would enable riders to get from Woodbrooke Road, Bournville Lane and Bournville Park to cross Linden Road using the Pelican crossing the junction of Bournville Lane | Track: Problem track |
| 135957 |  | Widen the pavement and add cycle lights to the pelican crossing | Track: Problem track |
| 135949 |  | Signing here to make it dual use would help to make it safer for pedestrians | Track: Problem track |
| 135947 |  | Take the cars off the existing cycle way | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135941 |  | Improvement here could link a cycleway from Ley Hill to the Rea valley Cycleway. It could go through the Cadbury factory (which presently prohibits cycling) to join up with Bourneville lane and a cycle way to get onto the Rea Valley. | Track: Problem track |
| 135937 |  | Improvement here could link a cycleway from Ley Hill to the Rea valley Cycleway. It could go through the Cadbury factory (which presently prohibits cycling) to join up with Bourneville lane and a cycle way to get onto the Rea Valley. | Track: Problem track |
| 135729 |  | Cycle lane for whole of Trittiford Road. Room available. Proper smooth surface (Road surface very poor at present) | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135725 |  | Cycle lane. Plenty of room. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135722 |  | Dual carriageway but many parked cars making road narrow and much close passing of cyclists toiling up the hill. Make road single lane for motor vehicles with no parking. Cyclists on other lane. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135706 |  | Needs cycle lanes. Busy and narrow. Could be made one way (maybe except cycles) with Barn Lane and Wheelers Lane | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135428 |  | Very wide road encourages speeding. introduce low traffic neighbourhood and install cycle lane. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135410 |  | Install cycle route to Kings Heath Boys School. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135407 |  | Create a segregated cycle route from here through the park to Brook Lane/ Wheelers Lane and onto Howard Road as part of a high quality/high visability cycle route to schools scheme. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135395 |  | Bollards create a pinch point here for cyclists with cars squeezing past to closely. Put a proper zebra crossing in. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135377 |  | Can't believe that this road has not been closed yet. It is so dangerous! Surely a temporary barrier can be installed allowing access for ambulances etc? | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 135347 |  | Introduce proper queuing at bus stop to enable pedestrians to pass safely. | Track: Problem track |
| 135338 |  | Wheelchair users, pushchairs and postman struggle due to no dropped kerb. A dropped kerb is needed at Richmond Place junction with Gaddesby Rd. | Track: Problem track |
| 135320 |  | Dropped kerb needed here | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135241 |  | Pinch point, blind bend on footpath, introduce way mirrors and resurface footpath next to field | Track: Problem track |
| 135237 |  | The service road was blocked off so cars could access the school meaning cyclists going to the school or just passing and pedestrians are forced onto a narrow badly surfaced path. Introduce cycle crossing onto service road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135214 |  | Could re draw the central white lines on Russell Road to slightly widen the uphill lane to give cyclists a bit more room as they going up the hill and make it easier for vehicles to overtake. Although this would mean narrowing the downhill lane the faster speeds that cyclists reach going down the hill shouldn't bother motorists too much | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135211 |  | Create segregated cycle lane on wide grass area of Brook Lane near the service road connect to Wheelers Lane and then through Swanshurst Park and to the Cole Valley route | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135147 |  | Install cycle lane on the grass verge next to park and continue to Dads Lane. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135134 |  | Shops are starting to reopen and display goods so pavement is narrowed. Remove at least parking spaces and long term close road to enable proper social distancing. | Track: Problem track |
