| 200708 |  | [Image taken 11.1.24] Alder Way, Looking into Bootham Stray, New Earswick. An image to show this obstruction when the foliage has been trimmed - context: #193656. It helps with sight lines and passing through the obstruction. However it does not remove or resolve any of the problems. MY EXPERIENCE(S) On 11.1.24 ahead of me (I was exiting Bootham Stray, ie moving towards the position this image was taken) was a young woman with a buggy. I offered to help her lift it over. She declined saying she did not want to wake the child inside. She managed to cross the cattle grid and to lift the buggy over the bar. However, walking across cattle grids is difficult and unsafe – even when not pushing an occupied buggy. Lifting anything over here puts the person’s back at risk. And, of course, not everyone can do any of these things. On my return journey, in the dark, I got wedged on the barrier this side. There is no lighting here and you are making a tight right turn knowing you may not be visible (people on cycles are to a greater or lesser extent invisible side on) to other road users. Meaning: you can’t see to align yourself and you can’t be seen so you are under time pressure too. Note the lateral cracks appearing this side of the obstruction.

| 199485 |  | [Image taken 23.11.23] Bootham Stray, Alder Way, New Earswick. A cattle grid, a York barrier, a blind bend and no lighting after dark. This combination is the reason two of us made a journey when, if there were no barrier, the person transporting the items could have done it alone. In fact, it took three of us – the man visible behind had to help lift the trailer over the York barrier – all of us, all the while trying to keep on top of the cattle grid. The alternative exit from, access to Bootham Stray from Alder Way requires a radar key (see: #172505). But the trailer pilot is not disabled so does not have one. On his return, the trailer user was on his own. He struggled to get through this combination of obstacles. He said he couldn't lift the trailer over and keep the cycle straight to be able to move it towards solid ground. The front wheel kept turning and going into the cattle grid. Even without a trailer this is a real barrier. My feet slip on the 'rungs' when pushing off to try to reach solid ground heading towards Bootham Stray. This happens more often in wet weather. Further, yesterday there was a very strong wind. I didn't quite make it and my wheel started to turn... I managed to get purchase on one of the rungs of the grid just in time. In the dark... In the other direction one or other of my front panniers often comes unhooked and/or I have not aligned my trajectory and I founder on the York barrier risking my feet falling through the gaps of the grid. A cyclable city, in my view, is one where people do not have to get off and walk. Or risk injury to themselves or their cycle.

| 195782 |  | No gate here ! Because it's for drivers ! a cattle grid for the drivers . Drivers treated better than people on bikes or in wheelchairs. Compare all the other transitions which have gates which are hard to open and close along this route. How are all these gates justified ??? If there is a need for livestock to be contained (which there is little or no evidence for as the route is fenced off) then provide a cattle grid with a by pass for pedestrians as shown here !!! | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |

| 194426 |  | [Image taken 27.5.23] Bootham Stray, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location. Location approximate.] My photo does not do the attractiveness of this all too short motor traffic-free route justice. Not there is no York barrier at this cattle grid. Compared with this location on the same route today: #194425 and at the New Earswick end: #180736. Why the discrepancy? | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 194425 |  | [Image taken 27.5.23] Bootham Stray, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location. Location approximate.] Bootham Stray between Foss Islands Path and New Earswick (Alder Way) is blooming. As is the growth under the cattle grid. Shows how little use that option gets. As there haven’t been any cattle grazing here since before covid, the gates have been removed. I hope this obstruction will be removed and the trough filled in such that the path is usable, level and smooth over its full width. Other image here today: #194426.

| 192970 |  | [Image taken 15.4.23] Bootham Stray/exit to Alder Way, New Earswick. [NOTE: No street view at this location.] I caught up with this couple as they were turning towards the cattle grid and York barrier #180736. I thought I'd check if they knew there was a radar key operated gate. (I carry a radar key.) They explained they used to walk this route regularly. The wife had an operation and now uses her new trike as a mobility aid/a way they can still enjoy being outdoors together. They said they had never noticed there was a lock in the gate. They do have a radar key but... didn't have it with them. I was able to unlock the gate so they could pass through. It is self locking so they didn't need further help. The lock is low down. This also makes it low key. I will contact the CYC walking and cycling officer and the access officer and request a sign 'radar key operated lock' for the gate. Other people might need that sign too. Ultimately, though, I hope all the barriers/barricades here will be removed. The cows haven’t been here since 2019 - the year before covid. This obstruction and the one just yards from it: #173450 mean many people cannot independently/spontaneously use the convenient motor traffic-free Bootham Stray to link New Earswick and York. And I, and others, slip on the cattle grid and get stuck on the York barrier. Other image here today: #192971.

| 180736 |  | [Image taken 25.8.21] Entrance/exit Bootham Stray, Alder Way, New Earswick, York. [Note: No street view on Bootham Stray.] Unobstructed view of the double whammy barriers here: a very narrow cattlegrid on blind bends at both approaches and a ‘York barrier’. (Effect of this arrangement for one user: #173450. Other instance of a ‘York barrier’: #180798). But the daffs are lovely. (Other images of York in flower search on 'blooms'.)

| 180365 |  | [Image taken 19.3.22] Rawcliffe Bar Country Park, York. [Note: No street view at this location.] . Other image here today: #180364 and links. I wrote to the cycling team responsible for LTN 1/20 (www.gov.uk/government/publications/cycle-infrastructure-design-ltn-120) to contest the advice cattle grids were fine. I asked that they come and try them out in York. The person who responded declined and defended the use of cattle grids. However, many people - of all ages - are nervous about crossing them. Plus, from the perspective of someone with painful joints or conditions where pain is constant and exacerbated by uneven surfaces for example the hypermobility type of Ehler-Danlos syndrome, or people with back issues including from car crashes, they are a barrier. The person I spoke to just 10 minutes before reaching this location said he could not cycle over speed cushions, etc, due to the pain caused, let alone cattle grids. He gets off and pushes over all such chicanes. Cycles, mobility scooters, wheelchairs are not sprung so there is no protection for users from bumps. (I also hate the noise created by crossing a cattle grid.) Just before Christmas 2021, I saw a parent and child at another grid further along NCN65, around 100m from this one. The child was afraid to ride over cattle grids. Her father was encouraging her to try. This grid has a noticeably wider ledge on the left. Could they always be this wide (less intimidating than narrower ones) and have ledges on both sides so people can walk over them pushing their cycles? Some people would struggle to open the large, unwieldy and likely heavy gate to the right of the grid. So why not remove the necessity for many to try? Also, why can't the grids be sufficiently wide for two users on cycles, in a mobility scooter, etc, to pass? Other image here today: #180366.

Louise is out of shot having had to find somewhere to lean her cycle (and risk leave it unattended) so has gone back for it. There were several more people now queueing for their turn to negotiate this barrier. Why is access to/exiting from here restricted to one person at a time? (Compare with: #180364.) And how have we come to accept the limit on who can access public amenity? Other images today: #173445 and links | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 173451 |  | [Image taken 25.8.21] Entrance/exit Bootham Stray, Alder Way, New Earswick, York. [Note: No street view on Bootham Stray.] A queue forms as Andy manoeuvres himself back onto his handcycle. The difficulties are exacerbated by this taking place on a cattle grid. And Andy will need to propel himself over it from a standing start. Andy and Louise must be used to being watched but who doesn't sometimes seek out anonymity?

| 173450 |  | [Unobstructed view of the two types of barrier here: #180736.] [Image taken 25.8.21] Entrance/exit Bootham Stray, Alder Way, New Earswick, York. [Note: No street view on Bootham Stray.] Andy (see: #173446) supports himself on the railings alongside the first of the two obstructions here. Louise lifts the handcycle (complete with Andy's crutches and water bottles) over the York barrier. Barriers remove the independence of the person with the mobility issues but also, when they mean someone has to lift something, can create health issues for the companion. And there will be times when that person cannot temporarily or permanently lift the other cycle. Cycles are also not clean, light or a regular shape. Next image today: #173451 | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 173448 |  | [Added note: Andy has pointed out to me you could get all the way - expending effort and, perhaps using up an individual's limited supply of energy - to these barriers with no obstructions or warning the exit ahead is blocked. Only to not be able to pass through them. Space to turn is limited on the Bootham Stray side of the barriers too.] [Image taken 25.8.21] Entrance/exit Bootham Stray, Alder Way, New Earswick, York. Andy at the second entrance to/exit from Bootham Stray. The one with a York barrier – the low metal ‘n’s in the foreground and a cattle grid. This 'access' / 'exit' point is inaccessible not only to trikes but also to anyone in a wheelchair or mobility scooter; someone with a wheeled walker; people riding cycles with small support wheels either side of a rear wheel; cyclists apprehensive about cattle grids including people with children or adults onboard; cyclists with small feet (for example youngsters); for people in some designs of footwear - and many of us in wet and icy weather when the rungs are slippery; people with heavy cycle luggage - you need to be able to give a good shove off from the York barrier to get across the cattle grid; people with front panniers (or you have to accept they will get damaged); anyone with a trailer... In short, this piece of infrastructure hugely limits who can visit the Stray or use the route for leisure, access to education, mental and physical health, commuting to paid/unpaid work. But it also means some people cannot make journeys unescorted or unsupported. If you need someone to enable you to get through a barrier your options for spontaneity and independent living are hugely limited. It impacts on self-determination, self-confidence... Andy can ride to Ampleforth (see: #173446), but is reliant someone else to be able to get out of York to make that journey and to get home afterwards.

| 172505 |  | [Image taken 25.7.21] Alder Way, New Earswick, York. This is the 'accessible' entry to/exit from Bootham Stray. This is a short, rural, quiet, flat, well surfaced greenway. It is a critical link between New Earswick (Haxby/Huntington) and York including for commuters, school pupils, shoppers... But there are barriers. The ones in this image require a radar key. The others are the York Barriers with low level bars (see example at Clifton Moor: #167734) and if that’s not enough, they are coupled with a cattlegrid. This person, cycling with her two children onboard her Tern to a birthday party, has a radar key. They are intended for use for people with disabilities, usually to access toilet facilities. There are limited places to buy them plus there is a charge. This ecycle has a stand. People using this with a cycle without a stand have to move their machine around while they unlock the gate, open the gate, close the gate, lock the gate. You block the pedestrian 'kissing gate' and the pavement. You have to lean your cycle on the dog poo bin. There are often motor vehicles in the layby immediately behind the camera and these block access/exit. If you are not mobile or agile you will need to be with someone who is. This means independent trips and spontaneous journeys through here are impossible for many people. The gate opens in both directions. Therefore takes some dexterity and a bit of time to locate it in the correct place to be able to relock it. There are no restrictions at the other end (Foss Islands cycle way). There are cattle grids along Bootham Stray. When cattle are grazing here there are gates which are kept closed. These don’t need a radar key but you do need to be able to get in/out of your wheelchair/mobility scooter. This motor traffic-free route has the potential to be not only practical but also very pleasant (it’s shaded in parts in hot weather) but it is not accessible. York Cycle Campaign is raising awareness of the many such instances of routes being blocked to the people who need them most (yorkmix.com/breaking-the-law-york-council-could-face-court-action-over-cycle-routes/) It has produced a report Inclusive and Disability Cycling in York (yorkcyclecampaign.bike/2021/07/21/inclusive-disability-cycling-in-york/). I am trying to challenge the barriers here. The Council took on a new active travel planner in spring 2021. He responded: “Barrier review…Hob Moor is the first on the list, but all barriers on all routes, be them the K type, the York type or just railings/bars placed too closely together, are to be reviewed, removed/altered or changed. It will take some time but the intent, will and funding is there. As with all things, statutory standards and best practice change and evolve…what was considered appropriate 10, 20, 30 or 40 years ago will appear substandard to a modern eye." Worryingly the latest Government advice (Local Transport Note (LTN) 1/20 – Cycle Infrastructure Design says: 8.3.7 Where it is necessary to control the movement of livestock a cattle grid should be used, in preference to a gate which will cause delay to cyclists. Experience in Cambridge showed that a cattle grid with closely spaced (100mm) threaded rod bars can be crossed by cycles without undue difficulty (see Figure 8.4).” This is inaccurate: cattle grids are not accessible and should not be given as a solution or suggested as best practice. I wrote to the DfT asking them to visit York to see the issue for themselves. A Policy Adviser replied. The letter dated May 2021 says: “This part of the guidance provides local authorities with advice on good working practices which they can choose to adopt or to ignore. Local authorities do not have to conform in this instance, however the Department believes that conforming to the guidance is desirable. As you have mentioned, LTN 1/20 was developed by an expert-group which would have ensured that the most appropriate working practices were adopted in the guidance. This includes the advice about use of cattle grids. Local authorities are free to make their own decisions about the highways and streets under their care, provided they take account of relevant legislation. They are responsible for ensuring that their actions are within the law and are accountable to local people for their decisions and their performance. Local councillors are responsible for ensuring that local decisions about highway infrastructure take account of the needs and opinions of local people.” I find the reply disappointing and unhelpful. Cycle infrastructure is an arcane subject. A local authority officer will not know all the designs of bespoke cycles or the ways cycles can be adapted for people with mobility issues. When I wrote my letter asking the team responsible for LTN 1/20 I had in mind someone in this city that was using a cycle with support wheels. You could not cross a cattlegrid with these. The person would not have been able to dismount, open a gate, move their cycle through, close the gate and ride on to the next one. Local authority officers also cannot know all the reasons some people might struggle with metal bars over a trough or be unable to cross them. Other image this issue: #173447 and links.

| 108681 |  | The entrance to Palacerigg Country Park, where Cumbernauld's cycle route 1 starts. There are no signs for the Cumbernauld cycle network within the park, although there is a map (see #102067). | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 102710 |  | Cycle route over the cattle grids | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 100435 |  | Glen Lonan Location: , Taynuilt (Scotland, United Kingdom) | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 100031 |  | Cattle grid - another absurd reason to tell cylists to dismount. What happens when a water company creates cycle infratrusture. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 100011 |  | Cattle grid on the Hambleton Peninsula cycle route, Rutland Water | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 100010 |  | Cattle grid and shared access track sign, Rutland Water | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |

| 95481 |  | Track crossing cycle path, leaving Callander | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 86430 |  | Dropped kerb upstand to cattle grid is too large: difficult for wheelcairs to use, particularly dangerous for people cycling from the road (e.g. from Jesus Lane) as a close to 90 degree turn required to avoid getting caught on the kerb. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 84357 |  | Gratuitous pinch stile obstructing the path. Action - make the cattle grid full width with a bypass gate for dog walkers etc and remove the pram arms. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 66779 |  | The ride to the Cambridge Cycling Campaign's 20th birthday picnic - waiting to cross Coldham's Lane in small groups. | Cycleway: Event cycleways |

| 62021 |  | Cattle grid | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 61097 |  | Note the segregated space for people walking (probably just missing a gate) and riding. Also the cattle grid approach for bikes. This looks wide enough for most cargo bikes and child carriers. All in all a really good example of properly built active field separation. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 60568 |  | Big cattle grid on these forestry roads. | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 60308 |  | Cattle grid | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 58237 |  | Cattle grids | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 57098 |  | Approaching Maids Causeway from Butt Green. Faded markings on the approach to the cattle grid. Pedestrians are supposed to use the bollards / gate on the left - but many struggle across the grid. Two months later that new patch of resurfacing between Maids Causeway and the cattle grid is already wearing throug, see #58428. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 56960 |  | Cattle grid at gateway to Erddig Park - arriving in Wrexham on the cycleway from Ruabon | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 55959 |  | Hard to turn onto bridge with cattle grid and gates on both side, especially when others are waiting | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 55769 |  | Close-up of Cambridge cattle grid (used on cycleways to avoid obstructions), showing exit feature for animals who would otherwise get stuck | Obstruction: Good practice obstructions |
| 55768 |  | Close-up of Cambridge cattle grid (used on cycleways to avoid obstructions), showing exit feature for animals who would otherwise get stuck | Obstruction: Good practice obstructions |
| 55410 |  | Cattle grid | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 54697 |  | Oxford Marston cyclepath entry from Marston, sowing cycle barriers that force a dangerously slow and oblique approach to the cattle grid. No sign advising pedestrians to use the gated path. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
