City Road, Chester

City Road, Chester

Shared-use path whose useability is severely impaired by ending abruptly at the bottom of a dip, meaning that one must stop to rejoin the road going back uphill behind the camera with all momentum lost. It would be a cheap but massive improvement to widen the footpath to shared-use up to Dee Banks School to complete a relatively safe cycle route from there down to the Saighton Camp neighbourhood.

Two-way cycling along the pedestrianised Frodsham Street, you meet service buses head-on which ought to terminate at the new bus station across the canal instead.

Parking stand at Tesco on Sealand Road, too narrow for two bikes to each upright but there is CCTV monitoring and plenty of room for expansion should demand increase.

There should be a dedicated cycle /pedestrian path created to link Kingsley and Frodsham so that it is possible to transit safely between the two villages without having to battle cars/lorries and vans etc.

The existing path between the village and KCP should be widened and made into a shared pedestrian/cycle path so that children and parents from the village can safely travel along it separated from cars/lorries and vans that use the 40mph road often without consideration for other users.

A very nice surface on this private road.

An old road repurposed as a cycleway.

Sinusoidal speed humps are good, they don't cause much discomfort but if you go much too fast over them, they'll launch you out of the saddle.

A good way IMO to slow people down.

Make the crossing a Toucan crossing so bikes can legally use it

A540 is a fast commuter road also popular with cyclists needs a cycle lane along as much of the route as possible

Narrow access and gate post loose on National Cycle Route 5

Parts of this track are very rutted and in wet weather almost unnavigable, as part of a long distance Sustrans route it should be in better condition as it is a good traffic-free route from Frodsham to Helsby, Ellesmere Port and Elton.

The track is deeply rutted and potholes needs to be graded to allow better access for cars to Hoverforce and also bikes to the Marshes

The footpath has been encroached on by the grass and tree roots have lifted the pavement. This verge is wide enough to accommodate a shared bike/path if the footpath was cleared and pavement resurfaced

St. John St should be closed to traffic and fully pedestrianised.

Eastgate should be closed to traffic and guests parking outside the Grosvenor Hotel and fully pedestrianised.

St. Werburgh St should be closed to traffic and pedestrianised.

The entire area within the Roman Walls should be a car free carbon neutral pedestrianised zone with rising bollards at all main entry points.

The cycle lanes on Long Lane are unsafe to use due to overhanging hedges, lack of use leading to the lanes full of rubbish and the speed of traffic. In line with Sustrans recommendations cyclists should be directed along the quieter national route 56 through residential streets and on to the off road cycle way. The main A roads should be given over to traffic so that it can flow freely around the Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.

Buses should not be allowed to come down Frodsham St and Foregate St. They could be rerouted left out of the bus station over the canal to the Bats roundabout. These roads could then pedestrianised. Rising bollards should be put where Foregate St meets Love St.

Buses and taxis being allowed to travel down the newly pedestrianised road is highly unsafe. Buses should be routed left out of the bus station, over the canal to the Bars roundabout. Rising bollards put at entrance to Frodsham St.

Traffic allowed to travel down Northgate St means pedestrians are squeezed onto the narrow pavements either side. Northgate should be pedestrianised with rising bollards under the Northgate.

Netherton,Frodsham to Helsby High School via A56 has cycle lanes on both sides.and is blocked at start and end of school by parents cars parking on it. Pupils cycling to school are discouraged by the dangers.

Existing Shared User Path is too narrow, needs widening alongside the slip road leaving the A41. Vehicles continue at speed from the sliproad into Hoole Lane. Nothing to help cyclists & pedestrians cross the sliproad & Hoole Lane.

Path on one side of the road

Path on one side of the bridge, narrow path so it's only single file.

There is no pavement down this dip on Marbury Road, it would connect the entrance of the park to the village of Anderton/Comberbach.

Almost impossible to cross very busy A41. Either install crossing or have cycleway on other side of the road, so allowing safer crossing at the Stamford Bridge traffic lights.

The footpath is overgrown and scarcely useable. Path from Blackeys Lane to Top Chester Road.

The dual use paths need to be extended across the A41. This applies to the north and south side DUP at this junction of the A51 and A41

Improve the pavement under the bridge, it is narrow and has a unpleasant camber making it hard to walk on.

Cut back the vegetation and widen the path on both approaches to the underpass to enable safe passing.

Footpath narrow, situation made worse by overhanging hedge, impossible to pass another person even without social distancing, meaning someone has to step well into a very busy road.

Path down towards the marshes needs widened

Hoole Road is wide here and could handle a cycleway. Good for local business on Charles St, and surrounding area.

Access across the A5268 junction from the Pavement to allow access to Victoria Road and onto the Greenway

Why can't there be signage and markings on the pavement around the roundabout and a crossing to allow cyclists access to Victoria Road and on to the Greenway

Create a multipurpose permission path across former golf course to allow cyclists and walkers to get to Chester without using the main road

Narrow fast moving main road with bends

Shared user path needed. Current path finishes at Toucan crossing.

Surface of towpath breaking up on well used path

This section of road is really winding and cars often take chances trying to overtake cyclists

This stretch of road is very narrow and cars drive really quickly along here without giving cyclists any room.

Straight and busy road leading to new
housing

My map shows a track here; or there is a footpath a little further on. This would be a fantastic route through to Wrexham road, avoiding the main road routes.

In addition to the comment already noted; cars travel too fast. Colour tarmac or space for cycling painted on road here with restrictions - maybe keep it to 30 mph?

The cycle lane comes to an end on lower lache lane for no reason just where it is most needed. The road changes from a fairly straight suburban 30mph road with cycle lanes and wide verges to a twisting country road with high hedges and speeding traffic and suddenly the cycle lane stops???!! Just like so many other cycle lanes around Chester where there's room there's a white line painted on the road and just where the road narrows and becomes dangerous the paint runs out!

Improve the tow path surface

Keep a cycle crossing option when the junction is rebuilt.

Cars try to bully bikes off the road, even against the priority. Make a cycling space?

Make this a toucan crossing so bikes can legally use it.

Pedestrians never have right of way at this junction. Install a green pedestrian light

The new road surface still doesn't have the cycle lane markings reinstated. Needed more than ever now.

Some method of indicating how a cyclist can safely turn right at these lights. Advanced coloured stop markings, cycle signage? Cycle warning sign?

Hoole bridge is narrow - as mentioned on other pin. Colour the side tarmac to cycle lane width to increase visability and highlight to cars space for cyclist.

Grosvenor bridge is narrow - as mentioned on other pins. Colour the side tarmac to cycle lane width to increase viability and highlight to cars space for cyclist.

What about a cyclepath from Huntington, carried alongside A55 over to Eaton Road, where you can link directly via top of Dukes Drive to Chester Business park?

What about a coloured section around the whole roundabout (and others) for cyclists - different colour raises awareness to motor traffic, cyclists follow around the edge of roundabout but still with clear signals. Works in France

Provide link to allow walkers/cyclists to access Stanney Lane from Sainsburys & Cheshire Oaks.

Need a bike lane or pavement usage from Morley Bridge to Mickle Trafford, plugging gap in Cheshire Cycleway.

Path is wide but could be divided into walkers and cyclists.

You can go under subway but it's grotty and feels a bit unsafe. Crossings are in wrong places and going round round about on a bike is impossible.

The road from the Overleigh roundabout over the Grosvenor bridge and into town is very problematic for cyclists; there is no clear safe way for cyclists to take. Vehicles often go too fast, an increasing number swing left down Nun’s road (heading for the retail park?) making it more unsafe crossing on a bicycle at that intersection. The big Grosvenor road roundabout needs better cycle access routes. The safest way for a cyclist to go from the Overleigh roundabout into the centre of Chester is on the pavement which rightly causes problems with pedestrians.

Pavement overgrown to less than 1 metre. Clear and extend cycle way that is 150 m away

This road would could do with a cycle lane from Morely lane all the way up to Hoole Roundabout and in to Chester city centre.

Space on rd

A cycle lane could be added along the entire length of Liverpool Road to improve cycle access to the hospital and city.

Cars drivers constantly fail to see cyclists crossing this junction - particularly when turning right from Brook St into Hoole Way. At the very least, improved traffic light filtering is required to prevent traffic turning right across oncoming traffic.

The road between Ellesmere port and the A41 Chester to Birkenhead road is dangerous for cyclists 1 because it is bust and no cycle lane ,2 because it goes over the motorway it is lack of vision of road ahead and cars can not see the cyclists ,3 the road has not got any lights on most of the road making it even more dangerous at night and blinded by car headlights coming over the motorway bridge.
need a dedicated cycle lane

Cycle lane or sloping ramp to allow bike access between Queens bridge and the riverside path
