Gallery: Busy shared-use paths
Some photos of shared use paths in S Cambridge busy with friends and families on a Sunday Afternoon
NCN11 With a 2m shared-use path both pedestrians and riders need to single out. Easy when you meet, not easy when you overtake
NCN11 2m wide shared-use. Parents (tandem) with small child. Not wide enough to meet others in safety
Link to Long Road from CGB path 2.75m wide path pedestrians naturally walk to one side, but riders singled
3m wide (kerb to kerb) underpass beneath Long Road. Pedestrians single out for rider who rang bell. Poor visibility an issue
CGB shared use path. 3m on a bend. Needs more width where visibility limited
CGB shared-use path. Regular use by people towing child trailers requires more than 3m especially where visibility is limited (Long Road underpass)
