Strange Road Signs

[ebikeerwidnes]

This one - look at the lampost on the right

so - no walking and no cycling

This is the strt point of the Mersey Gateway bridge over the Mersey from Runcorn to Widnes

so not unreasonable

except that before this point THIS is the road - and for quite a few miles

Soa busy dual carraigeway with high speed and no cycle path of any real kind
There is a sort of hard shoulder a bit befroe this point - but that is what it is - and it is covered in grit and general detritus


so anyone cycling on the road is basically lost and in danger

I would not be surprised if teh Police were called and stopped anyone cycling on it
I have certainly never seen anyone do it


but then suddenly - No Cycling

in reality the road after that point is slightly better as it is wider and cleaner!!




Oh - and the signs that migth help an actual cyclist are just not there - there are cycle route but they are not signed from any normal roads

for info if anyone is cycling through there - to get over the river follow signs for Runconr Train STation as the old bridge with the cycle path is near there
any sotehr signs for Widnes/Liverpool take you over the otehr bridge that is no cycling!

If you look carefully, you will see that there is a graveyard beyond this fence. Danger of death?
