Through Wavertree Technology Park at rush hour.

Why not remove the centre line throughout, as you have done here? This should reduce speeds and stop cars crushing bikes into the side.

Better still, put in a cyclists shortcut running parallel to the railway line rather than jiggling north then e/w then south along Wavertree Boulevard?

What is happening here? This is a horrible roundabout for cyclists to have to negotiate (especially this double lane entry) and note there are no signs for cyclists.

There is a blue sign but otherwise no indication of where this route is going.

Pighue Lane - no direction signs and how are you supposed to enter this road from the roundabout (see the next two photos)?

There is a central reservation preventing bikes coming from the roundabout into Pigue Lane.

Are cyclists supposed to do a U-turn around the central reservation?

Charlton Place - again no direction signs so heading for Broadgreen I went straight ahead here (which is where you'd assume the route went) which is wrong.

Heading the opposite direction, there is at least a blue cyclist sign.

Again, no direction signs here when heading home, towards the city centre.

Sturdee Road - again no sign as head towards Broadgreen.

Warnerville Road. What now?! Only a useless blue cyclist sign - what is that supposed to mean? Where do I go? Where will it take me?.

Likewise no sign on return as I head to the city centre.

There is a fancy toucan crossing but, look, no signs.

Still no signs - this is a very complex junction - where am I going as I cross Edge Lane Drive?!

Likewise no signs here when heading the opposite direction, towards the city centre.

*WHAT* is this???!!! All I can think is that it is Liverpool's latest contender for crap cycle facility of the month (see Warrington Cycle Campaign

Here's another look at it: is this supposed to be a slalom course? What a waste of money. It's a 15m stretch of cycle path on the pavement with 4 bollards and parked cars along its length ... on a VERY QUIET RESIDENTIAL ROAD with perfectly good tarmac for cycling on. I assume that the cost of this nonsense would have paid for decent signs explaining where you were cycling to (and, ye gods, even DISTANCES or TIMES) along the whole route.

Still no signs.

One useless blue cyclist sign - where's Broadgreen? Who'd have thought I'm just 100m from the hospital.

Likewise on the return, where are the signs to say which way to go for the city centre?

Ah-ha! A sign with WRITING on. The first one since I set off from the city centre.

Then, about 20m away, the other side of the underpass under Queens Drive - the *last* sign with directions on. So the budget seems to have covered two signs on the entire route - which were placed next to each other.

Hmm, planting cycle stands won't make them grow, you know.

Lovely jumbly - brand new cycle stands since I last visited, and right by the main entrance - well done Broadgreen Hospital.

However the pedestrian route looks a bit, er, unfinished despite the snazzy signs. Obviously all of the car-parking is completed, get your priorities right ...

This made me really, really cross. The Hospital was so desperate to squeeze in a couple of extra carparking spaces that it has crushed the pedestrian access to Queens Drive down this horrid narrow little walkway, trammelled in by a fence and high, ugly metal railing and leaving no room for bikes. .

This walkway is only around 15m long ... it could (still) so easily be widened to a generous 3m to allow walkers and cyclists *direct* access to the Queens Drive underpass.

This is the end of the walkway and, *LOOK* there on the left above the hedge is the blue sign directing cyclists to go the long way around to get into the hospital. So cyclists are directed from the underpass down the busy main road of Thomas Drive to do a long and unnecessary loop to get into the hospital site .

Now I'm cycling back through Wavertree Technology Park. This little stub is ugly and seems dangerous to me.

It is a cycle lane - but it only runs on one side of the road and, see next photo ...

Argh! Cyclists don't have priority over this little drive leading to a railway yard with probably one or two vehicles an hour. WHY wasn't this drive narrowed to prevent vehicles entering and exiting at speed and then a raised lane provided for cyclists with cyclists having priority so they can go straight on here?

You are OK if you are going left - but what about the poor souls trying to cycle right? Am I supposed to go to the lights and WALK over the junction? Or am I supposed to bunny hop off the cycle lane into the nearside traffic?

What is this? Am I supposed to cycle across all these lanes to get to that cycle lane on the opposite side (remember I've come off a cycle lane on this side of the road)?
