No safe access along this road for cyclist with lots of close villages that should be accessible. Reduce speed limit to 50 mph and put in a segregated cycle lane.
Hi, this road is the main link between the Greenstead estate and Severalls Business Park. I have cycled to work over the past 20 years using this road and it is becoming a huge danger to cyclists given how busy it is, esp on school days. As … [more]
With the Tiptree pump track here it makes sense to make it safer to cycle to it and a 20mph speed limit would be a good start.
To encourage walking and cycling along this route which avoids a dangerous crossroads it should be a 20mph zone.
This road is ideal for cycling to take them away from the double roundabout and to encourage them along with walking it should be a 20mph zone.
This road already has a small section of cycle way so to make it safer and encouraging its use the road needs to be a 20mph zone.
With a community centre & elderly accommodation along with a primary school in the area this road should be part of a 20mph zone.
The cycle path is just a side road which is full of potholes and speed bumps. It needs resurfacing. Otherwise the existing pavement should be widened to accommodate a shared use pedestrian/cycle space.
With the new light controlled crossings installed on the A12 slip roads the next week spot in the cycling infrastructure is crossing Axial Way. So a safe crossing is required here.
Traffic is asked to reduce speed to 30 mph, so why not make it an enforceable 30 mph speed limit. This section of road is regularly used by cyclists to link quiet country lanes.
Remove discriminatory barriers at the end of the shared path which prevents non standard bicycles and trailers from being used.
This junction is used by lots of cyclists and also residents. Various properties also front this road but it is presently national speed limit and needs reducing to 30 mph.
Reduce speed limit to 30 mph in both directions and on the Marks Tey bound lane make it a single carriageway. This would enable a two way segregated cycle track to the station.
Busy road towards Marks Tey train station from the surrounding Stanway residential area, with a number of pinch points on it. Regularly get very close passes along the whole length of the road. Ideally needs protected cycle lanes installed … [more]
Various shared use paths trying to link new housing developments to Schools and shops. But no safe crossings and a hostile 40 mph speed limit.
Solid white lines to stop cars overtaking cyclist on the approach to the blind bend. I have seen several near misses and reported to Extra Eyes.
Reduce the speed limit to 40 mph as lots of people on bikes use this route. Also the road surface is subsiding and it is dangerous to be driven at the national speed limit.
This road needs to have its speed limit reduced to 40 mph to encourage cycling for commuters from Tiptree to Kelvedon Station. Also for pupils going to Thurstable School & Sixth Form.
40 mph ends at Langham Road but should carry on all the way along Severalls Lane. Or even better reduced to 30 mph given the number of residents / businesses, tight bends along these roads.
There is no dropped kerb curb to allow pedestrians and cyclist to access Asda or other retailers. Or looking at it the other way there is no dropped kerb from the retail park giving access to shared use path. Which leads to the Highwoods … [more]
Speed limit needs to be reduced to 30 mph as this road is used as a rat run around Colchester. Lots of cycling and running along this road plus residential property along with businesses.
There's no safe cycling provision on the Severalls industrial side of the road so no encouragement for workers on this large estate.
Fountain Lane is a rat run used to get to the A12 - this Junction with Easthorpe Road requires a STOP line as regularly drivers don't slow and look properly at the junction. Only this morning I nearly became a statistic.
Speed limit needs to be reduced from 40 mph to 30 mph for the safety of motorist as well as cyclist and joggers.
Instead of signs prohibiting cyclists on footpaths, install a segregated cycle lane on this road so cyclists can feel safe without resorting to going on the pavement.
Harwich Road requires a segregated cycle way all the way into town. Very dangerous being overtaken from cars especially as road narrows near shops
Pave the Wivenhoe trail so it can be used in winter (after rain puddles form making it more hassle to commute on)
Clear signage needed from this point and onwards through the station forecourt and car parking areas to join the line-segregated pathway through Bergholt Road Park.
Lots of cyclists use this route and with plenty of houses entrancing on a bend plus a business with HGV deliveries. The national speed limit is unsafe so the 30 mph speed limit needs to be extended to the bridge which in its self is of … [more]
The path is too narrow for both cyclists and peds. widening of the path would make this route safer and more attractive as an active travel route. There is plenty of space to easily double the size of the path
A dedicated and segregated cycleway is required in both directions on Lexden Road to provide safe access from Stanway through Lexden onto Colchester Town Centre
The odd lengths of cycle path along Berechurch Hall Rd need to linked together and extended to the Lidl on Gosbecks Rd
At this point traffic speeds up, racing towards Fingringhoe. Walking and cycling are dangerous because of speeding traffic. Install speed cameras and traffic calming measures.
Cycleway from bottom of Hythe Hill all the way into the town centre with no breaks beyond cycle and pedestrian-specific lights.
Extremely narrow pavements on busy road, no cycling provision of any kind. Cars park over the footpath causing pedestrians to walk in the road.
Buses are constantly moving, parking (fighting for spaces) at the bus stops. Dedicated cycling lane required
20 mph zone to encourage walking and cycling. This is a popular route for school children between West Bergholt & Stanway secondary school.
Eastwood Drive and roads leaving it should all be 20 mph to encourage more cycling. This would also encourage walking by enabling safer crossing.
With a community center, Scout hut and primary school along this road along with only a footpath on one side of the road it needs to be a 20 mph zone. To encourage walking and cycling on what is normally a quiet road.
This is a death trap for commuters who dice with death to cross the two A12 slipways to reach the station by foot or bike
The underpass here could be the basis of a cycle way from the station to the town centre if it were linked to improved cycle paths. This would avoid the congested area under the Station Road bridge.
Open a gate here to allow cyclists to get to the Westway cycle path without cycling through the bus queues
Widen the pathway between the light-controlled crossing and Water Lane so that it can more safely accommodate cyclists and the increasing number of walkers visiting Cymbeline Meadows.
This is a short narrow footpath but a key link for cyclists coming from Priory Street / East Hill and into Riverside. Could land be taken from Grantham Court car park?
It's a narrow road caused by on street parking which reduces the highway traffic to one lane cyclists can be forced off the road
Open cycle route along Ball Lane to Manwood Bridge across Mersea Rd to Haye Lane and along to Fingrinhoe

Existing subway is good for cycle use except for approaches. This could be made better by taking one lane from Sheepen Road.
Traffic light pedestrian and bike crossing of Westway. Could make use of subways with land acquisition. Would need to be to Crow standards.
