New seating and streetscaping, previously some car parking and empty space.

Seating areas and streetscaping introduced where there was previously some car parking and empty space.

Modal filter at a continuation.

Modal filter creating a much more sensible traffic balance in the residential area ahead.

Modal filter in Oxford, preventing formerly 2,000 vehicles a day rat-running through this neighbourhood. This one was featured on BBC Panorama in Summer 2023.

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods: Is this the UK's most abused traffic bollard? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65243274

Cyclists Please Dismount - this street has not just been closed to motor vehicles but totally given over to pedestrians.

Interesting repainting of give way markings in Oxford, reinforcing pedestrian priority in the revised Highway Code. https://t.co/FDCqsRqUtM

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

Fatal: cyclist and bin lorry https://twitter.com/oxoncyclingnet/status/1448710205919879183?s=21 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-58910752 “The coroner couldn't think of anything that might prevent this happening again.” … [more]

Cycle symbol on route to Cuckoo Lane, Headington

The wooden planter that got set alight last night is now festooned with signs and posters of support. https://t.co/SPCFrX2gUf

Road closure - this should be improved as a cycle link

One of three pseudo-roundabouts on the new Frideswide Square, Oxford

Crossing on Oxford cycle route 8

Bus/cycle lane transitioning back to cycle lane

Cycle lane transitioning to bus/cycle lane

Service roads and crossing, Summertown, Oxford

Closure except to buses, bikes and taxis on Oxford's High St

In my student days there were rows of wheelbender bike stands on both sides of the college entry.

The traffic lights have been removed and a conceptual roundabout surface added.

A long lead up and sharp bend mean this was very hard to get a cargo bike round. It requires hefty wiggling. Ok for normal bikes but beware if you have a tandem, Tagalong or cargo.

Basic but workable cycle bypass of a traffic-calming chicane

Phase one of Access to Headington complete. Narrow on road lane replaced with shared footway. https://t.co/6BqtOy7yfp

Awful photo, but it shows that advanced green lights for cycles have spread from Cambridge to Oxford.

Rising bollards on Turl St, Oxford

Surprisingly poor cycle lanes on this busy Oxford road

Road closure at the High Street, Oxford - it might be good for cyclists to have a toucan crossing here as well as the busy nearby pedestrian crossing

Rising bollards and barrier (rear) in Oxford

Nice accessible crossing without barriers

Crossing points on Oxford High Street give priority to walkers rather than cars

Oxford High Street - well-surfaced and a very uncluttered environment

Magdalen Bridge

Magdalen Bridge

Cycling along the Cowley Road - a bit chaotic

Unnecessary break in the cycle lane at the start of the bus- and bike-only lane to the left.

Buses and bikes only to the left; no entry ahead; cycle lane and cars turning right at the Ashmolean Musuem, Oxford

Very confusing - no parking lines within a parking bay.

Half muddy and for horses, half paved for pedestrians, cyclists and owners of bad, blurry pinhole camera devices.

Funky horizontal/vertical tactile paving. This is the only sign that this bit of pavement is a (probable) cycle route into King George's Playing Fields.

Looking East from the end of the off-road cycle route onto the mini-roundabout on Ferry Hinksey Road and Osney Mead. Bit of the busy industrial park visible beyond the roundabout.
