Who on earth thought this was a good idea? Perhaps they’ll try putting one in the road next… t.co/PoPQEho4Se

Construction Traffic Beware Cyclists Going Straight Ahead. t.co/Ufx3LCdotP

Surely one of these routes - in Greenwich Park or behind the Queen's House - could be made into a proper cycle route parallel to the A206?

High density cycle parking at the Queen's House, Greenwich - it's just about possible to lock the rear of a bike to the higher ones.

Modal filter, Maze Hill

Why are the Royal Parks so obstructive to cycling?

Temporary closure - not a pop-up Covid-19 measure, but roadworks. No problem for cyclists, despite the sign being right on top of the cycle symbol.

Bicycle-themed public art at a new development

Agree?

Lift is out of service most of the time and needs regular maintenance to ensure this never happens. Failing to maintain this lift is a breach of the Equality Act 2010

The first phase of Greenwich to Charlton opened just before Christmas and is being well used by a wide range of folk on a cold winter sunday.

You would NEVER have seen this pre the works.

Phase 2 imminent to extend to Charlton. (Now please sort Greenwich town centre 🥰🥰) t.co/uwLYJFbKSZ

New layout for social distancing, basically showing that pavements can and should be widened while traffic will still cope

Thames Path cycleway crossing loses priority to the road

Thames Path

”Never look back”, says the painted footway user

Thames Path, could do with a bit more visibility here though

Segregated cycleway on the Thames Path, badly surfaced now

Signage for a narrow passageway

Segregated cycle path needed along this wide road so that cyclists don't have to use pavement. Speed limit to be restricted to 20mph.

Rat run through narrow residential road on council estate.

Narrow pavement near station and playground

Road narrows and cycle path disappears over bridge. Cars do close passes.

A permanent modal filter at the St Germans Pl / Kidbrooke Gardens roundabout would be more effective and acceptable to Cator Estate residents whose access points have been very restricted by the South Row (very good) measures which may not become permanent.

A fully signalled, one phase shared-use crossing with widened paths on either side. Remove the wide central reservation to widen the northern footway over the rail bridge.

Modal filter (walking/cycling only) to reduce through traffic

Modal filter only allowing bikes/pedestrians to eradicate through traffic

The pavement has been widened here on both sides for pedestrians making the road too narrow with a high concentration of standing buses and heavy vehicles - dangerous for cyclists, switch the use of the left path from pedestrian to cycleway here

Rat run. Make modal

Very unsafe junction - fast vehicles and poor road lay / crossing points

Vehicles constantly parked in the cycle lanes - no enforcement of rules. Fully segregated lane needed for bikes with more bollards

Allow this stretch of the park to be cycle friendly so cyclists can avoid the dangerous trafalgar road

Narrow overgrown pavement here

This is a very narrow footpath that needs to be widened.

There is limited space given to cyclists and it is very dangerous as drivers do not allow space for cyclists.

Cycleway Ends at Rochester Way and cyclists either have to share the narrow pavement with pedestrians or risk the road. There should be a cycle lane on Well Hall Road.

Close one or two of the four lanes of traffic. This will provide a wider pavement and two cycle lanes. It will also slow down the speeding traffic. Cycling along this road is deadly and the 1m wide pavements are too narrow to walk (coupled with the bus stop). Also no where to cross safely on this side of the massive (far too large, try cycling around it) roundabout.

Villas Rd has huge potential to be an excellent part of cycling route from Plumstead Common to Woolwich, avoiding the dangers of Griffin Rd and Burrage Rd. It is already closed to through traffic, but historic design focussed on walking route and car parking. Minor changes such as dropped curbs and rearrangement or removal of some parking would have instant effect.

This is a school road. The road is used as a speedy cut through. The road and pavements are not wide enough, cars regularly drive on to pavements to overtake. The pavements are very narrow, 0.5 - 1m. The road should be closed at the Shooters Hill Road end, except for cyclists. This acute junction is very dangerous; there are regular crashes especially with motorbikes. Maybe put traffic lights for cyclists and combine pelican crossing on Shooters Hill Road.

The cycle path at this point is dangerously in the door zone of parked cars. Any motorist who opens the door without care could knock over a cyclist into the path of a moving car. The cycle lane needs moving out beyond the reach of an open car door.

The section of Thames Path between O2 and Greenwich Power Station needs upgrading to make it a safe mixed pedestrian and cycle amenity on the existing Thames path and Q14 routes.

Cycleway. large school here - speed and volume of traffic prevents cycling

Segregated cycleway. the current band of paint doesn't stop fast vehicles moving into the space.

To close pass. There is enough space easily for cycle lane wands.

Too narrow and cars overtake dangerously

Properly enforce no parking in cycle lane. It’s never free if cars

It’s ridiculous to have a bus stand here, move the 51 into Hare St and make it easier for cycles and cars - or make it a cycle lane.

Villas road needs modal filters not what it currently has

Close this section to traffic at weekends

Cycle lane too narrow due to poorly positioned upright posts,Posts also make right turns from this road into side roads dangerous due to timing the maneuver with traffic approaching from behind.
Cycle lane not swept regularly.

Fast traffic. Some drivers do not give enough space to slow moving bikes. Major route for riders returning from jobs in Plumstead, Woolwich, Charlton and further west to homes in Bexley. Needs cycle lane uphill on, Wickham Lane, between Cemetery Rd and Lodge Hill. Fortunately, wide carriageway and no issues of parking.. Requires action by both RBGreenwich and LB Bexley.

Cars are close passing when overtaking at speed. Needs segregated lanes. I use this route to go to work at the hospital.

There is alot of primary schools around, and since covid alot more people are wanting to cycle but bit dangerous on the roads.
This will encourage more cycling and safer journeys around social distancing.

Upgrade access to bridge to enable cycling over A20 rather than having to dodge traffic to cross road.

Place a modal filter here to prevent traffic from rat running out of the town centre into the Anglesea, Conduit and Crescent residential streets.

Place modal filters here to stop traffic rat running along Sandy Hill Rd. At the moment, large traffic volumes use this as a short cut off the south circular along Sandy Hill and Crescent Rd then onto Burrage Rd. The traffic is way to heavy for these small residential roads.

Remove parking bays and widen footpath. This has always been a pinch point for pedestrians.

Sandy Hill Rd is a narrow residential street that suffers from rat running and excessive speeding. I believe modal filters at the corner of Burrage place and sandy hill rd would do a significant amount to reduce rat running. Sandy Hill Rd is used by they high volume bus routes - which for such a small residential street is very destructive to the nature of the street. These buses would be better served going down the much wider - Main Street - of Burrage Rd. This would result in a quicker and more direct bus route. If buses need to remain on their current route, the modal filter at the corner of Burrage Place and Sandy Hill Rd could restrict cars and motorbikes while allowing buses to pass.

The west side of Sandy Hill Rd has an extremely narrow pavement that is often blocked by wheelie bins. This pavement is a high volume pedestrian street that needs to be widened.

Add a cycle lane and slow the cars down

Make this one lane and make it safer for cyclists and pedestrians.

Make this a bus gate and stop the crazy drivers from driving on the pavement.

Get the vehicles off of the pavement

Add a cycleway and slow down the traffic, often cars doing 50+ in a 30.

Slow down the traffic and make it safer

Change the cycle path here, it is confusing and dangerous as you have to bunny hop to use it.

Close the road to commuters. make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

More wands and keep the vehicles out of the cycle path.

Make this safe for cyclists, it is a terrible junction.
