| 151405 |  | I would like to cycle from Curridge to Chieveley with my son to do the school run. A cycle way would make this feasible. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 151404 |  | Would love to cycle with my son to school from Curridge to Chieveley. A cycle way along Priors Court Road would make this feasible. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 150569 |  | A cyclist arrives at Greenham Common after a ride up the Greenham Road cycle path. The infamous cruise missile shelter complex is in the background. This relic of the cold war is a reminder of the brave peace protests that took place at this site. historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1021040 | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 147135 |  | All along Fifth Rd from the back entrance of St Barts school, the pavement on both sides is very narrow. Very hard to walk on it without being single file or walking in the road. Pavement needs to be widened or the hedgerows creating the issue need to be trimmed. | Track: Problem track |
| 145850 |  | Bushes are overgrown and encroach on the path for cyclists and pedestrians | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 145848 |  | Traffic lights often fail to register bicycles and stay on red | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143026 |  | CYCLOPS junction needed here | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 142643 |  | Provide a pedestrian crossing on this popular but dangerous crossing | Track: Problem track |
| 142347 |  | The road marking directs cyclists into a kerb that should be dropped, but isn't. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141651 |  | A Park and Ride from east of Thatcham through to the Bypass at Shaw would be a good idea to reduce traffic and allow cyclist space on the roads. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141650 |  | Making a bus/cycle lane from the Swan roundabout through the town with a Park and Ride from Greenham Business Park to Vodafone would reduce traffic in the town centre and enable cyclists to use the bus lane rather then the existing narrow footpaths. It would have the added benefit of reducing the traffic pollution and making the town centre a much more people friendly place. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141646 |  | Overhanging trees here need cutting back to allow safe cycling | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141644 |  | The footpath down the A339 south of the Pinchington Lane roundabout all the way to the Greenham Business Park needs widening and the trees cutting back to allow safe cycling. Soil encroachment has also reduced the 1.2 metre wide footpath to no more than 0.6m in many places. Either that or reduce the traffic to lockdown levels again to allow for safe cycling on the road!! | Track: Problem track |
| 141597 |  | Path is far to narrow probably due to overgrown hedgerows all the way from Conifer Crest to the Monument. Currently people are risking their safety jumping the ditches and walking in the road | Track: Problem track |
| 141411 |  | Pavement narrow for volume of school children from 2 schools and by a busy road. | Track: Problem track |
| 141408 |  | Pavement widening for safety of school children. | Track: Problem track |
| 141339 |  | The pavement is far too narrow to accommodate the number of children and adults accessing the schools. The grass verge could be used to widen the path. | Track: Problem track |
| 141330 |  | Prioritise a cycle route from Wash Common down to Fifth Road along Elizabeth Avenue/ Valley Road to encourage cycling to train station and town centre without risking Andover Road. It serves many residential streets and areas whereas Andover Road has few directly connected. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141326 |  | The pavements both sides of Essex St are narrow and could be widened. A narrower carriageway would slow traffic down | Track: Problem track |
| 141237 |  | The pavement here is too narrow and in disrepair. This is close to a main school gate and students regularly walk in the road. The hedgerow is an important feature here but it is not regularly maintained and when it is trimmed, the trimmings are left all over the pavement and road, causing bicycle punctures. | Track: Problem track |
| 141124 |  | Pavement is too narrow and students walking to and from from the school often have to use the road to walk along. Reduce hedge width and or reduce road width in order to widen pavement. | Track: Problem track |
| 141117 |  | Currently WBC building states that the track behind it is not a cycle way, and its cobbled. If surface was more cycle friendly, it would be a great route to the station. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141116 |  | Possibility to widen the path (purchasing strip of land from currently empty ex nursery plot) to enable safer cycling and pedestrians from town centre towards Shaw | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141115 |  | Lots of school children, often have to go in the road to pass each other | Track: Problem track |
| 141111 |  | The pavement is very narrow here and it is very busy with children walking down to St Barts or up to Park House every morning and afternoon. I have noticed on many occasions children stepping out into the road as the pavement is too busy in normal times, many times they do not check the road for cars before doing so! If people are meant to be social distancing then there is no way that the amount of children/teenager pedestrians on this road would be able to adhere to the guidelines without walking in the road. | Track: Problem track |
| 141110 |  | The path is too narrow and it is the road alongside a huge secondary school with over 1500 pupils. If two people meet one would have to go onto the road and at certain time sof the day this would be so dangerous. | Track: Problem track |
| 141109 |  | Pavement on this side of Monks Lane is too narrow. People often have to step onto the road in order to maintain social distance when passing. There are crossings to go to ther other side of the road but all residential buildings are on this side so people will have to walk along this side to get to/from home. Also, road is very wide and cars go way too fast. | Track: Problem track |
| 141108 |  | Too narrow | Track: Problem track |
| 141106 |  | Very little pavement along the road so joggers, walkers and dog walkers have to walk in the road | Track: Problem track |
| 141105 |  | Cycle path needed | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141104 |  | Cycle path needed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |

| 141100 |  | Widen | Track: Problem track |
| 141094 |  | Fifth Road pavement is far too narrow for so many pupils to be walking along to get to and from secondary school. Even for myself with a family we find it’s too narrow. It may be 30 mph along that road but it doesn’t feel safe and it could potentially be so easy for someone to be hit with not enough room to walk. | Track: Problem track |
| 141093 |  | Hedges really overgrown, trees overhanging - hardly any space on the pavement in places. | Track: Problem track |
| 141092 |  | There are no pavements on this road and speeding is common. Drivers should be encouraged to drive slowly and give space to pedestrians, runners, cyclists and horse riders through signage / traffic calming. | Track: Problem track |
| 141090 |  | Stop through traffic so walkers, runners, cyclists and horse riders can use this road safely, access only for the very few properties which are on this road. No need for through traffic to use it. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 141089 |  | Narrow path on one side of the road, overgrown hedgerows. Not enough space for pedestrians to safely pass. | Track: Problem track |
| 141088 |  | This could be a quiet lane for walkers, runners, cyclists and horse riders. No need for any through traffic, just access only for farms. Currently dangerous for these users when vehicles speed through using this lane as a short-cut. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 141086 |  | Footpath is too narrow because of overgrown hedging | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141085 |  | Narrow path on one side of the road only. Needs to be much wider and/or provision on other side of the road too. | Track: Problem track |
| 141083 |  | The verge and hedgerow could be cut back and the road narrowed a bit to make more way for the path - a narrower road might hopefully reduce speeding problem. | Track: Problem track |
| 141080 |  | These pavements are so narrow. The hedgerows either side are poorly maintained. Meaning the brambles scratch your face. Would massively benefit from being made wider. | Track: Problem track |
| 141079 |  | The pavement it far too narrow to accommodate the number of children and adults accessing the schools. The grass verge could be used to widen the path | Track: Problem track |
| 141078 |  | On fifth road there is not enough space for two people to pass each other particularly on the section near St Bartholomew's school. It is very narrow and as it is a wide long straight road there is a real issue with speeding.it is so dangerous as people and children going to school have to step on to the road to pass without social distancing in place. Ideally the road would be closed at the junction with valley road so that all traffic is local traffic (as it would otherwise be dead end) rather than used as a racetrack and cut through. Push valley rd estate traffic back on main roads. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |

| 141066 |  | Path too narrow and only on one side of the road. Impossible to pass other than shoulder to shoulder without stepping into the road | Track: Problem track |
| 141064 |  | Hedges on school side of the road need trimming. | Track: Problem track |
| 141063 |  | Path very narrow! | Track: Problem track |
| 141048 |  | Pavements are very narrow in this section of the Andover Road and as the road is fairly wide here with no traffic calming measures, cars frequently exceed the speed limit on this stretch. This was the case before lockdown and has worsened since lockdown. I would like to see the pavements widened and road narrowed. It is common to see students from local schools having to cross into the road to pass by other pedestrians. I have frequently had to step into the road for older pedestrians or young families. This is not safe and is worsened with the social distancing. | Track: Problem track |

This is not safe and is worsened with the social distancing. | Track: Problem track |
| 141041 |  | Years of growth of ivy, stingers, brambles and weeds takes up half the pavement. | Track: Problem track |
| 141031 |  | To improve safety at an entrance to Park House School on departure and arrival of pupils. Widening of pavement which is also a cycle path but is unusable to cyclists at this time of day. | Track: Problem track |
| 141029 |  | To allow the safe departure of students from school at arrival and departure times. | Track: Problem track |
| 141028 |  | On both sides to enable pupils to wait for parents to collect them from Park House Secondary school (as no school buses) and also prams and younger students from Falkland Primary School | Track: Problem track |
| 140990 |  | Too narrow, overgrown. | Track: Problem track |
| 140978 |  | Wider pavement for social distancing | Track: Problem track |
| 140956 |  | There is no west/East cycle provision across the A339 at all. Cycles are forced to contend with 4 lanes of faste moving traffic at one of the major roundabouts. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140955 |  | The lane is too narrow and offers no protection it merely makes cars think here is room to pass when there isn't | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140954 |  | The lane is too narrow and offers no protection it merely makes cars think here is room to pass when there isn't | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140953 |  | The lane is too narrow and offers no protection it merely makes cars think here is room to pass when there isn't | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140939 |  | Even without social distancing I cannot get my fiance's wheelchair down this street without knocking into the wing mirrors of parked cars. We haven't been outside since March so don't know what it's like now but I dread to think what would happen if we encountered someone else on this pavement. | Track: Problem track |
| 140896 |  | The pavement is really narrow especially when the bushes are overgrown like they currently are, it is impossible to walk side by side with someone in the same household let alone pass someone from another whilst keeping a metre apart - you always have to walk into the road which is a very busy main road. | Track: Problem track |
| 136019 |  | Reduce speed limit along Purley Rise (A329) from 50mph to 30mph, to improve safety for cyclists. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136017 |  | Pavement can be widened by cutting back vegetation to make a shared cycleway from Sulham Brook to Long Lane, Purley on Thames | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135206 |  | It would be really helpful to have one (or more) clearly defined cycle route(s) between the Halfords (Burger King) roundabout, the Robin Hood roundabout and the Western Avenue/Oxford Road (Waitrose roundabout). This would enable cyclists to travel more safely through Newbury north to south/south to north with ease. Existing routes are problematic because of the: horrendous section of A339 immediately south of the Sainsbury's roundabout (recently 'improved', not by anyone with any thought for either cyclists or pedestrians); and because of the competing interests of those pedestrians with their minds on shopping (I very much support the idea that shopping areas be clearly pedestrianised rather than the half-hearted arrangements in place at present) and cyclists negotiating Northbrook Street. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133908 |  | Unenforced restriction used as rat run by cars | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 133897 |  | Crossing from Pincents Lane to Dorking Way can take over 10 mins trying to cross 7 sets of traffic lights, need a safe cycle route to cross the A4 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133890 |  | Cycle way to help cross major road to get to and from Arlington Business park | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133883 |  | Set aside space for cyclist to cross motor way to Arlington Business park | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133533 |  | Make a school street. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 133450 |  | The narrow gap makes it impossible for pedestrians to use this path safely. Ideally it should be widened to allow cycles to use this. | Track: Problem track |
| 133314 |  | Wide and fast road that could easily accommodate a cycle lane joining Pangbourne to central Reading | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 132129 |  | Very narrow pavement next to a very narrow road where lorries fly past and you have to skirt around masses of dog poo | Track: Problem track |
| 131394 |  | Wider pavement to allow safe distancing - even if at the expense of traffic space. | Track: Problem track |
| 131392 |  | Cycle lane in southbound road to Theale | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131391 |  | Create a designated lane for cyclists along the A329 eastwards to Purley and beyond. Encouraging more cyclists to commute and indirectly limiting traffic speed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 129133 |  | Add cycleway or segregated footpath to allow children to cycle or walk to secondary school | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 129131 |  | Widen footpath to make walking to school safer | Track: Problem track |
| 128181 |  | The traffic lights here, when turning right into Newport Road appear to be activated by traffic - no cars, no green light. Unfortunately, they do not register cycles, so cyclists wishing to turn right here must find their own way across the A4, either mixing with pedestrians (including school children) or dodging cars. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128178 |  | This mini-roundabout is busy. At most times of the day there is a steady flow of traffic form several directions. It is also one of the main crossing points for residents in the area heading into the Town Centre. Visibility of cars coming from the north (from Halfords) is poor for pedestrians and drivers have a tendency not to stop at the mini roundabout. A pedestrian crossing or central island in Racecourse Road near the mini roundabout would make it quicker and safer for pedestrians to cross. | Track: Problem track |
| 128119 |  | The pavement on the West side has always been narrow. In places it is actually too narrow for two pedestrians to pass without one standing aside. Since the recent road junction alterations (which included an extra pedestrian crossing at Bear Lane on the Kings Road roundabout), I have noticed this pavement gets more use and it now really needs widening. | Track: Problem track |
| 128116 |  | During recent road widening works, the East side pavement was altered and an existing barrier fence between the road and pedestrians was also altered. Honestly, the fence is so far away from the kerb that you could safely walk on the road-side of the fence. The remaining pavement is too narrow in places to allow walkers and pushchair/wheelchair users moving in opposite directions to pass. Whoever put that fence in was having a bad day and it just needs moving closer to the road. | Track: Problem track |
| 128110 |  | Greenham Road/Pyle Hill is steep and there is very little room for cyclists on the pavements. Between cars queueing behind them and children on the pavements this hill is complicated to tackle. Traffic calming bollards with through routes for cyclists would slow the traffic and give cyclists room to breath as well as adding a point of opportunity for cars to pass if the road is otherwise quiet. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128108 |  | This area is a main cycle route for children at St Barts School. Motorists park on the cycle lane on the side of the road heading towards the St John's roundabout. This causes cyclists to leave the cycle lane and I regularly see cars swerving to avoid them or honking their horns as if the cyclist has done something wrong. Because of the parked cars there is little room to allow adequate passing space and there is nowhere for cyclists to go to avoid getting car-doored. Parking on cycle lanes here must be stopped. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128104 |  | The painted cycle lanes on this roundabout are counterintuitive. It would be better to remove them and rely on the highway code than to leave them as they are. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128098 |  | The new cycle route along the A4 is brilliant, but where it crosses the road (like the entrance to the B&Q car park) there needs to be clearer signage for drivers to give way to cyclists. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128092 |  | Robin Hood Roundabout is just unsafe for cyclists. Too many lane changes and too fast cars. Cyclists resort to the underpasses, which brings them into contact with parents taking young children to school. Perhaps it is possible to use the existing traffic lights to create routes across to the middle of the southern end where the original roundabout appears to have been. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128041 |  | Very narrow path up the A339 and to cycle on the road is very dangerous with all the lorries etc. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 127953 |  | At the moment the boundary road bridge is single lane only with traffic lights for cars. There is a cycle box at the lights, but the road is narrow, so cyclists can't safely reach it. The bridge was replaced recently, but the full width cannot be opened until the site next door has been cleared. The bridge has always been single direction anyway, so it would be straightforward to leave it single lane, leave the traffic lights in place, move the cars to the centre of the bridge and create traffic-light-free, cycle lanes on either side. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 127945 |  | There is no provision here for cyclists on either the pavement (which is narrow on both sides of the road) or the road. The road is fast and dangerous for cyclists, but it is a dual carriageway, so provision for cyclists to get either way between the Halfords roundabout and the Sainsbury's roundabout could be made by reserving one lane on the East side as a bidirectional cycle lane. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 123821 |  | The old railway line from Hampstead Norreys to Hermitage reopened as a cycleway early in 2020 (with a slight kink to get under the M4). | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 117721 |  | Not enough room for social distancing. Needs on street parking removed for either wider pavement or cycle lane. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 116189 |  | This is a road to the station, canal towpath and pub. It has heavy pedestrian use, heavy traffic and no place for pedestrians to escape. There needs to be a foot way. | Track: Problem track |
| 111113 |  | Very muddy, slippery surface when wet | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 99591 |  | Looking east along Pincents Way away from Ikea Location: , Theale (England, United Kingdom) | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99590 |  | Looking west from Ikea car park towards crossing along Pincents Lane Location: , Theale (England, United Kingdom) Lots of signs asking pedestrians and cyclists to share space with motor vehicles | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
