Chronicling the protracted continuing saga of a new chicane barrier, installed suddenly and without warning in April 2024 by Warwickshire County Council, on a short path close to a formal shared use walking and cycling route - but without proper consideration to current legislation, design standards
More overgrowth and obstruction on an off-road shared use path reported. Why are these routes allowed to get into such a state? I haven't been this way for a while, but it's rarely properly clear.
Um... why does no-one cycle here (or walks for that matter)?
Large roundabout junction with the A45 and A452. "Quality" UK infrastructure on show here.
Well, I was right to not hold my breath. #WarwickshireCountyCouncil have indeed cleared the overgrowth, but they've paid no attention to the potentially unlawful, outdated, and ultimately pointless barrier. No surprises there.
I mentioned this earlier, but I'm putting it on the blog - a contender for Nuneaton's shortest and most pointless shared use path, and a new installation too!

When it comes to shared use infrastructure, how short is too short? Perhaps when it's only a few metres, flanked on either side by a regular footpath (i.e., not designated for cycling), and where the path on the opposite side has a proper and useful (if poor considering modern standards) shared use
HELLO!
The Trail To Nowhere is now The Trail To Somewhere! The Long Bridge Connector (LBC) between MVT & Boundary Drive is now open to the public. Please boost!
The intersection of LBC & MVT is located between the Navy Merchant Marine Memorial & the ramp to the 14th Street Bridge. At the other end, use the west roundabout to connect to Long Bridge Park / Pentagon / Pentagon Metro
