Detail of exit from the carriageway
Photo taken at location 4. This shows the details of the dropped kerb. Notice that the arrow indicating the left turn is pointing at the very start of the dropped kerb, which continues for some distance past the white line. This is dangerous - if a cycle user follows this arrow and fails to notice where the kerb is flush with the carriageway, their wheels may come into contact with the raised kerb and knock the cycle user off their cycle. This white paint needs to be burnt off and re-painted so that the arrow shows the safest point for cycle users to join the pavement. Care needs to be taken when taking cycle routes on and off pavements that raised kerbs do not put anyone in danger.
