Terrible provision on NCN routes 6 and 68 - a couple of signs, but nothing has been done about the barrier, and the only drop kerb is on the far side.

No Left Turn - there's actually a dropped kerb with cycle symbol immediately after the lights, which isn't very clever.

Very unclear - actually northbound cyclists have to cram into the narrow contraflow lane to the right.

Link to the riverside NCN route 6 - a dropped kerb would help, but it can be reached from the shared-use footway.

There is no route ahead - presumably the arrow should be pointing a bit to the right.

Route signs at the Derby Brewing Tap House - but where's the cycle parking?

The NCN route 54 sign leads to some steps - the cycle route is a little further on.

Cycle parking tucked away out of sight at the Pride Park Travelode

Line of desire from the Pride Park Travelodge towards shared-use paths

Not a lot of cycle parking at the rear of Derby station - and why can't we have normal Sheffield stands?

Very difficult to negotiate by bike. The barrier, bollard, narrowness, and drop curb are all obstacles to navigate through.

Give priority to uphill traffic, not downhill at this pinch point.

Car park full of empty cars seems to be more important than joining the two bike lanes together.

Make it so we don't have to wait ages to cross at this toucan crossing.

Build the cycle/pedestrian path from the Varsity development to the Mackworth Allotments. This will link the cycle paths through Ravensdale Park and Varsity with the NCN route into the city centre, Mackworth, University and Markeaton Park.

Missing cycle link between Springwood Drive and Diamond Drive/Porters Lane. (No cycling permitted through Chaddesden Wood). Alternative cycle route is via Silverburn Dr; OR provide a new cycle link along north side of Chaddesden Wood to … [more]

Missing sign to turn right

When the Five Lamps junction at the town end of Duffield Road was being considered there was a proposal (by the Council themselves) to make Duffield Road and Kedleston Road south of Broadway one way with traffic flowing south along Duffield … [more]

Cycle lane on pavement is very uneven and poorly marked. A reserved section of the road would be a better option.

Flood damage to river path (route 6), top surface has been washed away in places. Needs maintenance.

Remove all the on street parking and create a segregated cycle lane along both sides of Kedleston Road.

If we block the top of Cowley Street and put a diagonal filter at Cowley Street and Watson street junction we could help create a form of low traffic neighbourhood.

Uttoxeter Road should have a 30mph speed limit. The current speed limit of 40mph is far too dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians.

There could be a diagonal filter here combined with blocking the top of Cowley Street to create a low traffic neighborhood if blocking the park is not acceptable.

Two lanes heading into town could be turned into a single lane. This would link into the cycle lane on King St.

Uttoxeter Road should have a 30mph speed limit. The current speed limit of 40mph is far too dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians.

Compared to the pavement on the opposite side of the road, the pavement is single file only. Cars are parked very closely to the curb but not at all on the other side. Bins are left in the road and elderly people and mothers with children … [more]

Why has cycle lane been removed westbound between Corden Avenue & Chain Lane? Please reinstate.

There are two lanes of traffic at the traffic lights, but these merge into one straight after the lights. This causes a huge buildup of traffic, particularly at rush hour. The left hand lane could be made into a cycle path instead, and this … [more]

There is pavement on only one side of the road here and that pavement is very narrow, allowing pedestrians to walk single file only. It's very difficult if someone is coming in the opposite direction.

Stop the cut through traffic by closing the road.

The footpath is too narrow & the road is too busy

Excessive traffic using North St/ Eastwood Drive to avoid lights at Manor Rd / Burton Rd junction

Some people use our streets (Harrington Rd., Wade St., North St.) like race track. They do not care for limits of speed and people which walking here or live here. A lot of young drivers coming to shop on the corner and after they checking … [more]

Close the road to through traffic as North Street is being used by vehicles in both directions as a rat run to avoid the Manor Road, Burton Road traffic lights.

Close the road to through traffic as North Street is being used by vehicles in both directions as a rat run to avoid the Manor Road, Burton Road traffic lights.

Too narrow of a footpath. Difficult for elderly residents as well as school children to use the road as they have to go on to the road to cross one another but that's unsafe as it's a very busy road with constantly speeding vehicles.

This is a busy pedestrian route for local residents, school children, and the elderly/seniors, mobility scooters. The Pavement is only 68cm wide and cars are a always parked on the road side, and when social distancing is required the only … [more]

Very narrow path with no width to pass others.

Literally the worst surface I have ever ridden on. Really needs to be considered for a resurface at the very least. If not a full cycle lane

This track is too narrow for even one bicycle. Hedge needs cutting back and path needs to be wider.

How soon can we expect a link between the new housing estate and Manor Park Way to provide an alternative quiet cycle route to the Kingsway/Uttoxeter New Road? This should be for pedestrians and cycles only to avoid creating a rat run for … [more]

This can be too difficult to walk or cycle over this junction when lots of traffic. Also can be too many cars parked along here and taking up pavement space. Cars can find a different route.

Too many cars come speeding down here round a corner. It should be closed to cars and for pedestrians and cyclists only. Cars can find alternative routes.

Pavement is too narrow here and difficult / unsafe to cross between when lots of traffic.

Lots of cyclists on Markeaton lane but feels unsafe to cycle on with many cars and bends in roads. Pavement to narrow and inconsistent to use safely.

Cycle path could be added on grass verges / road to accomodate cyclists and pedestrians

Cars regularly travel on this road at a speed that appears faster than the limit, not only making it hard to cross the road to carry on cycling if you’ve been on the cycle path that runs parallel to the road (up to the point where the speed … [more]

Hazardous roundabout

Trim back bushes etc to create space for families to use bikes to Markeaton Park

Speeding traffic using it as a rat-run. No inconvenience to residents by closure. Allows residents to use the road and not have to cross to social distance.

A cycle path is needed here. Cars and lorries often park in front of the drop curbs, blocking access, and the area is often littered with broken glass.

Kingsway shopping area needs to be much more accessible for cyclists by providing marked cycle lanes into and around the shopping area and more cycle parking by each and every shop.

Unrestricted speed on a narrow road and no pavement. Many people walk this route to Blenheim Parade shops or the bus stop. Make an all weather path through the Park from the Water tower to the top of West Bank Road

Signage and markings for cyclists and pedestrians to pass safely through Darley Abbey Mills

Create a cycleway by widening the path on the north side of Darley Abbey Drive

A safe east west crossing is required from north side of Darley Abbey Drive to Broadway for cyclists going to the primary school and Derby University from the Darley Park Cycleway

Enable cyclists to use the existing drive with markings and signage to limit cycle speed

Finish this section of Derwent Valley cycleway between Darley Abbey and Little Eaton: very easy to implement as paths exist all the way.

Turning right at junction is dangerous. Drivers get irate due to waiting for safe space between speeding traffic on A6 to exit Ford Lane. Cycle path from Ford Lane to Duffield using existing footpath to become shared use space, walkers & … [more]

Cars parked on the left going towards direction of St. Edmund's close. Traffic going well over 30miles an hour & force cyclists & children cycling to school into a dangerous situation . Stop cars parking on Park Lane & introduce speed humps … [more]

Build a mountain bike cross country track in and around the park.

Vehicles speed up and down Handyside Street at great speed. Closing off at the top or bottom would stop rat-running and help create a more accessible St Alkmund's Green.

Should be just for cyclists - as the rest of Belper Road - but, as this section is downhill, cyclists could speed up and compromise the safety of pedestrians crossing the street. Considerate cycling would not be a issue!

This junction should be closed off to vehicles apart from cycles to reduce through-traffic which compromises safety

This junction should be closed as it encourages and enables vehicles to bypass narrow streets, and closing it would help reduce through-traffic. Vehicles routinely drive over the pavement corners to get past each other causing danger to … [more]

Pavement is too narrow on the east side of Queen Street. Remove the end parking bays and one panel of railings to widen the pavement.

Close the bridge over the weir to motorised traffic, giving more space for pedestrians and cyclists on this narrow and busy bridge.

The underpass beneath the railway on Cut Lane which takles the cycle path from Chester Green Stores Road and onwards into Racecourse Park, is littered and feels unsafe because of poor lighting and overgrown bushes etc. The route needs first … [more]

Many parked cars each side of street make cycling hazardous, also parked cars block mini cycle lanes that try to present restrictions for traffic, seeding is an issue

Widen the existing multi user path which is only apprx 1.5 metre wide and too narrow under normal circumstances with a wide verge each side for much of its length and in poor condition in sections from A5111 to edge of city boundary … [more]

Filter to allow pedestrians and cyclists but not allow cars

Road narrows and full of pot holes

Need to segregate cyclists and walkers more clearly on the new path

Main access to this part of Allestree in desperate need of cycle way

New shared cycleway and footpath is very welcome however due to the material the “duck board” section becomes extremely slippery when wet or even with the slightest of frost (common down by river side) I myself have fallen twice here! Some … [more]

Ideally need a way up the steps that doesn’t include dismounting, perhaps a decent ramp or diversion around?

Cycle way between A38 roundabout and broadway disappears on the way into town please continue this at least until the Jury’s hotel traffic lights

Cycle path between litchurch and Elton road, large number of Rolls-Royce cyclists use this section with no cycle path

Kedleston road has a very short cycle way near the traffic lights on the city side but this very soon disappears, it also has a fantastic segregated cycle way past markeaton park, the two need joining up!

The cycle/bus lane does not seem to recognise cyclists. Can it be changed so it does?

Although there is a cycle way to Sinfin it is very rough and would benefit from being relaid

We need a crossing with traffic lights here to allow cyclists and pedestrians to cross from the new housing estate to the retail park and to allow cyclists to cross from one cycle lane to the other

Existing cycle lane needs re painting and traffic (no) parking restriction enforced.

Well used route through the estate leading to shops - needs speed reduction at the least to allow travel from the many homes to shops.

Cycle path ends suddenly if travelling North necessitating crossing a busy road to rejoin the carridgeway. Not joined up thinking.

This is an awful corner on the school route and cars are going way too fast normally and even more so during this pandemic. It needs to be 20mph or shut during school run times. A chi

This is an awful corner with cars going way too fast during the pandemic. It needs to be 20mph limit

There is no way to walk between Spondon and Locko Park without walking on the road, which is 60mph and unsafe e.g. with buggies. A pavement here is long long overdue!

Cycle path to N and S of this roundabout but no way of getting over this roundabout when it is busy. Kids use this route and people commuting to Derby.

Potholes all down Willowcroft need fixing

Used by school children who would benefit from a safe cycle way to get to school

Busy road with no place for cycling

This is the most perilous stage of my cycle root. You have to position yourself to the right of traffic that has separate traffic lights to branch left down Old Uttoxeter Road. Positioning myself to carry straight on and not be forced left … [more]

The road is narrow with pavement on one side only so pedestrians have to walk in the road to maintain social distance. Some pavement needed on the opposite side of the road

Cycle lane due too it a very busy areas with traffic and drivers speeding
