Here is the daily school-run congestion in Oxford Iffley Rd: angry drivers, wasted time and CO2. It has been like this for years. One must be crazy to think this is OK and we should do nothing. Proposed traffic filters may help, but permits … [more]

Christ Church should sell a bit of land to build a quiet cycle lane running parallel to Iffley Road

Not much room for cycling on this bridge west of Oxford station

Not much room for cycling on this bridge west of Oxford station

No room for an outbound cycle lane under the railway by Oxford station

Cycle through route on Osney Lane needs restoring at Hollybush Row/Oxpens junction.

Ridiculously narrow pavements here, unusable by buggy users esp. by Story Museum & Greenes. Path by G&D's often taken up by queues. The whole street needs a New Inn HallSt style revamp: also a shameful mess on a tourist route

The pavements are ridiculously narrow, unusable by those with buggies - a continental-style revamp of this historic street is needed.

Massive bus wheel trench needs filling

Too narrow to easily pass standing traffic

Too narrow for southbound cycles to pass cars

A few wheelbenders at the front of the Manor Hospital, Oxford

Proper staff cycle parking needed at the rear of the Manor Hospital, Oxford

Path narrows down along turn from Banbury Rd to Elsfield Way, blind corner, have had face-on collisions with other cyclists here.

The north bound carriage way at this refuge is only 3m wide. The cycle track becomes about 50cm wide, with insufficent space for cars to pass. It is a very dangerous pinch point.

The only way on and off the ring road cycle path is here - you must dodge fast traffic coming on/off the ring road.

The barriers at the top and bottom of this vital passage connecting the ring road and Rose Hill cycle paths are very narrow and you can only just get a big bike (family cargo/tandem) through. Most mixed ability cycles would be barred from … [more]

Mandatory cycle lane needed here

GWR need to make their Inter City Express Trains able to easily take tandem bicycles so disabled people are not discrimintated against when they ride with their partners. Bad for tourism!

Link from Walton Well Road to the rear of Oxford station - this is the only reference to the gates being closed at night.

I've no idea what this sign refers to - the cycle route certainly continues along the Botley Road.

Light posts interfere with cycle path making it a dangerous way up with the cars passing by at maximum speed

Overhanging vegetation is blocking part of the shared pedestrian/cycleway

There are brand new cycle lanes on both side of this road and they would be great except cars and delivery vehicle park all over them and make them more dangerous than if they didn't exist. They need to bollard them off all the way along … [more]

This is a great new cycle way that has been built but cars and delivery vehicles just park all over it making it useless and more dangerous than if it didn't exist. They need to put bollards all the way along both sides to prevent parking … [more]

This road is one of many used as a rat run by very fast drivers at rush hour to get to and from the Quarry junction to the ring road. It should be turned into a Low Traffic Neighbourhood.

This road is a very long steep road and the surface is full of holes and bumps that are not noticeable to vehicles but are very dangerous for cyclists going downhill. The road needs to be better maintained with cyclists in mind as a … [more]

Access to and from the ramp for the short recently constructed on pavement cycle path has been blocked for weeks by car registration number BO53 TTR. Double yellow lines are required to restore access and prevent recurrent obstruction.

The section passing Wood Farm has a great new cycle path that is wide enough but past the r'bout here the roadway is wide enough for a good wide cycle lane but what is painted is far too narrow and is positively dangerous at the points … [more]

Iffley Road. Leaving Oxford there is an intermittent cycle way and narrow pavements. Cars parked make it dangerous for cyclists as they move out past them. Need to get rid of on-street parking.

When coming out of Swinburne Road and heading towards the river, if you want to reach the segregated cycle path you have to either cross the road and cross back, or cycle on the pavement. Making this short stretch of pavement shared would … [more]

If cycling straight on at these traffic lights when travelling south, it can be hard to know where to position in the road without getting in the way of traffic or getting squeezed in the cycle lane. Some cycle markings in the middle of … [more]

The point at which cyclists have to leave the shared pavement and join the road is about 1 metre too early - it feels alarmingly like coming off the pavement straight into a stream of traffic. Just a metre of extra shared pavement would … [more]

Cyclists who come from the Barracks Lane/Marsh Park cycle route to go up Temple Road risk collision with cars travelling too fast up Marsh Road into Crescent Road and vice versa. Drivers often assume that cyclists are travelling the same … [more]

Busy junction at intersection of Marsh Road and Oxford/Cowley Road with nearby bus stop, no cycle lanes, bad road surface, cars parked along road and large vehicles turning in and out of Marsh Road from the Council depot. This area is used … [more]

There should be a traffic light at this dangerous junction with a waiting area for cyclists in front of motor traffic.

These roads (Div, Southfield and side streets) should be access only

James St, fast traffic, narrow road and pavements, needs closing between St Mary's Rd and James St to stop through traffic

Same problem as at the St.Clements entrance to the roundabout - the right-turn cycle lane is in the wrong place, putting cyclists to the left of cars that may cut across them to exit on to the Cowley Road.

Cowley Road is dangerous for cyclists.

There are long sections of this path where there are parallel paths which have been very overgrown. Clearing these areas would allow segregation of cyclists and pedestrians making it safer for both

Iffley Rd is too narrow for cyclists,buses and rush hour traffic. It needs to have wide pavements and wide cycle lanes. It could be part of a congestion charge for people coming in to the city ho do not live in the postcode

Where the two chicanes are on Sandford Road, they need to be regularly swept and weeds removed so there is space to use them

Resident, delivery, taxi and bus-only access. We must move towards a car-free environment. Non-residents need to find other ways of getting into town.

The pavements on the hill section of Old Road are too narrow to social distance, and cycling here can be very intimidating and dangerous especially for children travelling to Cheney or Windmill. Now that the buses go through the Churchill … [more]

Prior to the pandemic there was a problem with rat running through many roads within the block. A full time filtered closure at the junction of Margaret/York road, along with those suggested at quarry High street/Road and on St Leonards … [more]

It is impossible to pass on the pavement at a safe distance, and scary to step into the traffic, especially walking with children, particularly on the East side

Bus gate as part of Flo Park LTN.

Filter as part of Flo Park LTN.

This gateway should be made permanent, not permissive.

The road allows cyclists to turn in using a cycle path however it is almost always impossible to use. Either it is full of glass or someone has parked illegally. It would be better if it was raised and clearly not to be used for parking.

This footpath is too narrow and poorly maintained. It feels unsafe.

The whole stretch from Magdalen Bridge and past Rose Lane is full of potholes and manholes, making cycling hazardous. This is especially the case when there is much cycle, car and bus traffic: going over one of these holes can easily cause … [more]

Needs a wheel-ramp up the side of the bridge for prams and bikes

Forget all the tediously practical and useful suggestions being made on this website. We REALLY REALLY need a bridge here there is a huge pent up demand from all the cyclists and pedestrians stuck at the back of the ice rink unable to … [more]

Cycle access onto A40 needs improving

Stop putting christmas markets here, it's a key cycle route through the city that the Council seems happy to block every year. Put the market where the car parking spaces are as the road is much wider than needed by the cars.
