marinyork said:The second one on fulford road has a lot of memories! A lot of my friends lived on St Oswalds Rd. It's not actually pointless, just very badly designed. The reason it is there is to join the end of the riverside cycle path which comes out on St Oswald's (which is why there's one on the other side too) which is why it suddenly stops. It's badly designed because if you were going down broadway and then wanted to get onto the river cycle path any sane person would go straight on onto broadway west rather than going left/right. The junction where the cycle lane ends is where my gf's car was written off too!
Huh! Colleague of mine lives in St Oswalds Hall - the old church down the bottom of the road...
Yeah, I hadn't twigged why it ends where it does - good point, and as you say, a bit stupid. Especially as if you came down Broadway and wanted the riverside path and went left to go down St Ossies, you'd be probably be doubling back at the bottom, because the riverside path goes into town from there, not out (well, you can go along by the moorings and boat club, but it's not a great surface for a bike)
