| 165541 |  | A very nice surface on this private road. | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 165540 |  | An old road repurposed as a cycleway. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 165170 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 164485 |  | Make the crossing a Toucan crossing so bikes can legally use it | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 162227 |  | A540 is a fast commuter road also popular with cyclists needs a cycle lane along as much of the route as possible | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 162226 |  | A540 is a fast commuter road also popular with cyclists needs a cycle lane along as much of the route as possible | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 153774 |  | Narrow access and gate post loose on National Cycle Route 5 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 153773 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 153772 |  | 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 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 153771 |  | 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 | Track: Problem track |
| 153300 |  | St. John St should be closed to traffic and fully pedestrianised. | Track: Problem track |
| 153299 |  | Eastgate should be closed to traffic and guests parking outside the Grosvenor Hotel and fully pedestrianised. | Track: Problem track |
| 153298 |  | St. Werburgh St should be closed to traffic and pedestrianised. | Track: Problem track |
| 153297 |  | The entire area within the Roman Walls should be a car free carbon neutral pedestrianised zone with rising bollards at all main entry points. | Track: Problem track |
| 153296 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 153295 |  | 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. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 153294 |  | 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. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 153291 |  | 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. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 153251 |  | The cycle lanes on Long Lane are unsafe to use due to the 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152732 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 150332 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 147026 |  | Path on one side of the road | Track: Problem track |
| 147025 |  | Path on one side of the bridge, narrow path so it's only single file. | Track: Problem track |
| 147023 |  | There is no pavement down this dip on Marbury Road, it would connect the entrance of the park to the village of Anderton/Comberbach. | Track: Problem track |
| 144510 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 142165 |  | The footpath is overgrown and scarcely useable. Path from Blackeys Lane to Top Chester Road. | Track: Problem track |
| 141987 |  | 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 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141919 |  | Improve the pavement under the bridge, it is narrow and has a unpleasant camber making it hard to walk on. | Track: Problem track |
| 141918 |  | Cut back the vegetation and widen the path on both approaches to the underpass to enable safe passing. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141471 |  | 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. | Track: Problem track |
| 141468 |  | Path down towards the marshes needs widened | Track: Problem track |
| 141157 |  | Hoole Road is wide here and could handle a cycleway. Good for local business on Charles St, and surrounding area. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141087 |  | Access across the A5268 junction from the Pavement to allow access to Victoria Road and onto the Greenway | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141084 |  | 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 | Track: Problem track |
| 140642 |  | Create a multipurpose permission path across former golf course to allow cyclists and walkers to get to Chester without using the main road | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140640 |  | Narrow fast moving main road with bends | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140563 |  | Shared user path needed. Current path finishes at Toucan crossing. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140559 |  | Surface of towpath breaking up on well used path | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140491 |  | This section of road is really winding and cars often take chances trying to overtake cyclists | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140490 |  | This stretch of road is very narrow and cars drive really quickly along here without giving cyclists any room. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140407 |  | Straight and busy road leading to new housing | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140346 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140344 |  | 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? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140262 |  | 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! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140153 |  | Improve the tow path surface | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140152 |  | Keep a cycle crossing option when the junction is rebuilt. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140151 |  | Cars try to bully bikes off the road, even against the priority. Make a cycling space? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140150 |  | Make this a toucan crossing so bikes can legally use it. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140148 |  | Pedestrians never have right of way at this junction. Install a green pedestrian light | Track: Problem track |
| 140146 |  | The new road surface still doesn't have the cycle lane markings reinstated. Needed more than ever now. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140108 |  | Some method of indicating how a cyclist can safely turn right at these lights. Advanced coloured stop markings, cycle signage? Cycle warning sign? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140107 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140106 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140104 |  | 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? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140102 |  | 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 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140101 |  | 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 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |

| 139530 |  | Provide link to allow walkers/cyclists to access Stanney Lane from Sainsburys & Cheshire Oaks. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139527 |  | Need a bike lane or pavement usage from Morley Bridge to Mickle Trafford, plugging gap in Cheshire Cycleway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139106 |  | Path is wide but could be divided into walkers and cyclists. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 138010 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137861 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137795 |  | Pavement overgrown to less than 1 metre. Clear and extend cycle way that is 150 m away | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137794 |  | Pavement overgrown to less than 1 metre. Clear and extend cycle way that is 150 m away | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137215 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137168 |  | Space on rd | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136922 |  | A cycle lane could be added along the entire length of Liverpool Road to improve cycle access to the hospital and city. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136919 |  | 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. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136883 |  | 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 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136881 |  | Cycle lane or sloping ramp to allow bike access between Queens bridge and the riverside path | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136877 |  | Improve bike parking facilities | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |

| 136874 |  | Revival of the proposal to build a Pedestrian and Cycle bridge across the river allowing traffic free cycleway linking to the City and Chester Business Park | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136873 |  | Revival of the proposal to build a Pedestrian and Cycle bridge across the river allowing traffic free cycleway linking to the City and Chester Business Park | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136871 |  | Reduction of the inbound carriageway on Christleton Road to one lane for inbound motorised traffic ( separated by cones or a solid barrier). The inner lane being given over as a two way cycle and walking path. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136869 |  | An extension of the existing cycle lane on Christleton Road and coning off part of the carriageway with bollards, ( restriction of parking and reduction of road width ) I believe the road is sufficiently wide. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136867 |  | An extension of the existing cycle lane on Whitchurch Road and coning off part of the carriageway with bollards, ( restriction of parking and reduction of road width ) I believe the road is sufficiently wide. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136864 |  | The carriageway closest to the park and Amphitheatre being closed to traffic and open as a two way cycle/ walking route. The City side carriageway still taking motorised traffic in the direction of Love St. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136863 |  | The carriageway closest to the park and Amphitheatre being closed to traffic and open as a two way cycle/ walking route. The City side carriageway still taking motorised traffic in the direction of Love St. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136862 |  | The carriageway closest to the park and Amphitheatre being closed to traffic and open as a two way cycle/ walking route. The City side carriageway still taking motorised traffic in the direction of Love St. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136860 |  | The carriageway closest to the park and Amphitheatre being closed to traffic and open as a two way cycle/ walking route. The City side carriageway still taking motorised traffic in the direction and up Love St, as it functions at the moment. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136859 |  | Reduction of the inbound carriageway on Boughton to one lane for inbound traffic ( separated by cones or a solid barrier). The inner lane being given over as a two way cycle and walking path. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |

| 136841 |  | Too many pedestrians, cars and cycles vying for one space - should be pedestrian only save for residents. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 136777 |  | There is an offset junction at dawn close, school lane, burton road. View of school lane from dawn close obstructed. Have to step into road before you can see if way is clear. Narrow pavement along whole of school lane. Cars drive close to pavement due to two way traffic on narrow road. Blind bend by school lane / Woodfall lane, difficult to safely cross school lane to access school on Woodfall lane. Remove view obstruction, widen pavement, make road one way or access only. | Track: Problem track |
| 136721 |  | Give way markings required for cyclists leaving the path and joining the highway. Speed limit (on path) also required. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136719 |  | Cyclists do not give space to pedestrians. Alternative route required for one group or the other. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136441 |  | The pavement here is only on one side of the road and that is very narrow, uneven and often overgrown. The pavement needs to be at least twice its width. | Track: Problem track |
| 136070 |  | Canal pathway is very overgrown with brambles etc making it hard to stay on the path without going too near the water. Surface of the path all the way to Chester is appalling, rough and potholed, dangerous. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136067 |  | Very busy fast road with no safety measures for cyclists | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136066 |  | Busy roundabouts with no cycling lanes/help. Already a friend has been knocked off here. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |

| 135346 |  | Dangerous crossing for cyclists. Usually either wait for good motorist to stop and let you cross or scoot to middle and wait. Have to use footpath on opposite side to get out of way of passing cars due to pinch point pedestrian crossing in middle of road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135322 |  | Extend the cyclepath on the towpath fropm Waverton to Tattenhall marina and the Ice cream farm - families could then cycle safely. | Track: Problem track |
