The footbridge is in constant use by cyclists, delivery cyclists and e-scooters. It needs to be wider to accommodate this.
This should be a main arterial cycle route from Byker Bridge to the town centre, The footbridge is a bottleneck at the end, but the path here is wide enough for a cycleway.
This is a NARROW public FOOTPATH through a nature reserve - not a cycle path and irresponsible, anti-social cyclists, who do not follow the rules for cyclists in the Higway Code - so a segregated cycleway is essential to protect vulnerable … [more]
This is a bridlepath through a nature reserve; where both pedestrians/walkers; then horse riders have legal priority. However, they are frequently placed at risk of harm because of the prolific number of anti-social cyclists who use this … [more]
The sign showing the pavement is a cycleway has not been visible for more than two years. The sign is still there but points towards the wall and is bent. It is a cycleway, not only for pedestrians.
The cycle crossing needs to be on a raised table to make vehicles check and slow down for bikes and pedestrians
I have had so many near misses with cyclists coming through the cycle path bend at speed. It is a blind bend on a path that really needs to be widened. Deliveroo cyclists crash into my bike a lot because they travel at speed, use their … [more]
The roundabout is so dangerous and complex to cycle on. This means only drivers can go where they like, and cyclists have to go on a long diversion just to be able to access the east side of this roundabout alive. This roundabout … [more]
The segregated cycleway comes to an abrupt end and ‘spits out’ cyclists (which might be children) onto Pilgrim Street. This busy road is uncomfortably dangerous for cycling but is a key access point towards the north of the city. John … [more]
The buses that come over Redheugh Bridge use don’t stop anywhere before Central Station, so please put in a stop somewhere on Scotswood Road, Plummer Street or Railway St. (and perhaps even another on Marlborough Crescent). It / they would … [more]
The buses that go over Redheugh Bridge don’t stop anywhere after Central Station, so please put in a stop here. It would serve places like Newcastle College, the employers and businesses west along Scotswood Road and up St James Boulevard, … [more]
There's some badly positioned street furniture (poles for signs, lamp-posts) along the in-part very narrow combined footpath and cycleway at the north end of the Tyne Bridge, west side, making it even narrower. The current situation is … [more]
Essentially the moment you cycle down past Peace & Loaf you enter a narrow roadway before it improves again. Obvious answer is to dispense with parking spaces outside Grate and instead make this a cycle path.
Prevent car drivers going from the roundabout to City Road from making U-turns by crossing the white line to go directly back on the roundabout or towards the Tyne bridge.
At 70 I have begun cycling but find the steps down and over the A1 difficult. Push chairs and wheelchairs will also have problems; mobility scooters would find it impossible. Making this a ramp would encourage more cycling and commuting by … [more]
The concrete steps at the north end of the Swing Bridge (west side) down to the quayside are in a terrible and rough state, forcing pedestrians along the very narrow footpath next to the road, which tends also to be used by cyclists. They … [more]
The steps at the north end of the Swing Bridge (east side) down to the Quayside need improvement. Most of them are very worn, and so slippy and dangerous in wet and icy weather. Perhaps they can be rotated through 180 degrees to reveal … [more]
Pavement is obstructed for 30m by overhanging hedge. This forces pedestrians to walk on cycleway which is very dangerous.
LNER need to make their Azumas able to easily take tandem bicycles so disabled people are not discrimintated against when they ride with thier partners. The old trains allowed us to reach cities on your route and we no longer can, bad for … [more]
How are you supposed to turn right towards Asda / Hollywood Ave from here? you are encouraged over to the far left due to cycle lane, and then have to cross 3 lanes to turn right.
Grainger Street is so wide and hardly any traffic uses it. Could easily accommodate cycling infrastructure and wider pavements which get crowded when people are waiting for buses. This would connect well with those heading to Central … [more]
Cycle junction/lane has been incomplete for several years with barriers accross the road. Please complete access so we can use it.
This junction is a death trap. Cars do not give way to cyclists who have priority. Had several near misses.
The roundabout is incredibly dangerous for cyclists. The traffic speed is fast, there are lots of lanes, and is heavy with traffic, making it dangerous to navigate. I doubt that the first thing drivers will be thinking about are cyclists. I … [more]
Put a modal filter here to prevent rat running. Check Google Street view you can see people doing it!
Review signal timings. Cycles leaving the road which the Boathouse is on and turning southbound do not have sufficient green time to cross the bridge prior to the northbound signal turning green. Swapping nothbound and southbound phasing … [more]
Extremely busy roundabout, with long and tedious diversions for cyclists travelling north/south. A priority cycle lane would work brilliantly here
Cycling on footways, at speed, is increasingly prevalent and dangerous. Display 'no cycling on footway' signs (if there is such a thing) at regular intervals. East & West sides from Salters Road to The Grove.
Neville Street is very wide and has ample room for segregated cycle lanes. The existing cycle and HGV lane is the brainchild of a halfwit.
South Side of Salters Road. Ivy Road to High Street. Pavements narrowed to half width by overgrown hedges in several places. Owners need to be told to keep boundary hedges in good order.
North end of Gosforth High Street. Pavements very narrow & made dangerous by cyclists using them improperly.
I think there is scope to put in a cycle path to the east of the A1 linking up the exiting Great Park paths north of the Ouseburn with the path that runs between Kenton and the A1
This is a bridlepath where both pedestrians and horse riders have legal priority. However, they are frequently placed at risk of harm because of the prolific number of ant-social cyclists who use this path but do not give way. So unless … [more]
This is a public FOOTPATH and there is no permissive signage for cyclists. It is essential that there is a properly segrated cycle path along here because walkers, dogs and the wildlife is constantly placed at risk.
This is a very narrow FOOTPATH, which is frequently used by cyclists (who don't give way to walkers). So a segregated cycle lane is essential and signs stating cyclists dismount at the metro and A1 bridges are essential. Thank You.
Tight bend and encroaching hedge make this corner dangerous. Cut back hedge, remove encroaching grass from tarmac, widen path
Tight bend and encroaching hedge make this corner dangerous. Cut back hedge, remove encroaching grass from tarmac, widen path
Jubilee Road sees cars speeding along between cars parked either side, a dangerous environment for cycling. And the junction with Edgefield Avenue needs safe pedestrian crossings.
Remove barriers here and increase length of time the green man is on, lots of people try to cross here in a morning/evening and end up penned in the middle.
Please can you monitor the speed along here? It's supposed to be 20mph but a lot of speeding drivers along here, including HGVs and nexus vans!
The cycle lane needs better protection: Just after the traffic lights at the ASDA/M&S junction, the cycle lane gets squeezed up against the railings and many vehicles, particularly HGVs and buses cut the corner into the cycle lane.
Needs a link here between 2 cycle paths. The road is very busy and difficult to cross, especially in rush hour.
Make temporary changes to footway to extend stub of cyclelane at Westgate junction to Collingwood Street to create contraflow cycle lane
Nearside traffic lane is barely used due to lane arrangement on St Nicholas Street - close lane in favour of cyclists
Footway is narrow and poor access for cyclists. Close nearside lane to traffic to continue cycle lane from Pudding Chare
Footway is narrow and cycleway by Stephenson monument stops at Pudding Chare. Close nearside traffic lane and create cycle lane alongside footway
Northbound and Southbound no proper cycle provision - this short stretch from Rothbury Terrace up to Martello Gardens is an important East-West cycle link to the coast road cycle path from Newcastle city. The parked cars and heavy traffic … [more]
There is a painted cycle 'lane' here which is just about wide enough to fit the width of the drain covers. Some less experienced cyclists will feel obliged to cycle in this death-trap. If you can't do anything else then get rid of the … [more]
Keeping car separate here would really help. This long road could be turned into a cycle lane, so St George’s Terrace is available for cars.
Now this road is very quiet (as closed off at the end) it could be made into a cycle route allowing people to avoid Osborne Road).
Turn the T. Dan Smith Bridge across the motorway into a one way cycle route (in) during the morning and out during the afternoon. Would require ramp to replace stairs, but otherwise ready to go.
With the changes to the station, including closure of this underpass to traffic, a cycle lane should be added
This is a residential street that has been turned into a main road due to urban sprawl developments. It is now a heavily congested (therefore) polluted rat run during peak periods, while during off peak hours it is used by drivers who … [more]
This is very busy and often congested main through road that is bordered by trees and attactive grass borders, within which there are narrow (metre wide) pavements. However, because of the heavy traffic, these pavements are frequently used … [more]
Path needs to be wider here, blind corner when leaving/entering the subway and sharing path with pedestrians is not suitable. See collisions happen here.
Major capacity issues on this pedestrian and cycle crossing. Too many railing and too small a space for people to cross. seperate the cycle and pedestrian crossing sections
Additional bike parking facilities on Gosforth High St would help to promote cycling in the area, and could be a boost to the local economy.
Lots of traffic on mornings along Regent Farm Road and into Partnership House makes it quite unsafe for school children. Please add a second crossing on the other side of the entrance to Partnership House.
There are railings on both the inside and the outside of the pavement here. This forces pedestrians into a bottleneck where social distancing isn't easy to maintain, especially during rush hour. Much of the barrier on the inside in front of … [more]
Widen the footpath on the schools side of Christon Road, it is a nightmare before and after school without needing to socially distance, especially going the opposite way to kids on bikes/scooters - people don't always want to stand on the … [more]
Pavements need widening where bus stops are in the stretch of Benton Road from Manor Park down to Coast Road as when people are standing at bus stop, passers by are req to walk in road to avoid bus stop queue
Four Lane Ends shops is a tricky area for pedestrians and we end up walking in the supply road for the shops as pavement gets so busy due to people queuing for shops and take-aways. Wider pavements and less car parking
Dangerous corner for pedestrians, cars leave Benton Road at 30mph due to wide open bend. Cars beep horns at pedestrians crossing, do not slow down and this is a high pedestrian walking area due to DHSS staff walking to work, elderly … [more]
Footpath is too narrow for children travelling to St. Mary’s school some on bikes who use footpath. Very difficult for anyone to travel in the opposite direction to the flow of schoolchildren. Need a cycle route linking Longbenton Metro to … [more]
Adjust timing of traffic lights on this junction so that pedestrians are able to fully cross in one go and aren't hemmed together in the central areas.
Area needs to be made safe for children walking to school. A crossing would be prohibitively expensive compared to a modal filter. Suggest modal filter.
There is currently no usable pavement due to parked cars on the pavement. Pedestrians must use the road, so the road should be made safer. Through traffic should be restricted to support walking and cycling. The street is used as a cycle … [more]
