| 141168 |  | We need a comprehensive cycle path network. All we have now are disfunctional, unmaintained, bumpy cycle paths I cannot use. 1) renew and maintain present cycle paths widening where necessary; 2) build new cyclepaths; 3) make the town centre traffic free except for delivery lorries, buses, taxis, pedestrians and cyclists - build Park & Ride as in Chelmsford | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131952 |  | Northlands Park forms a formal block on the sensible north-south cycle option in this part of Basildon. Cycling through the park should be formally permitted and encouraged, with a wider path, improved surfacing, installation of lighting and of course removal of entrance barriers. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131946 |  | The crossing light sequence unnecessarily delays pedestrians and cyclists. The crossing signals were designed so that the delay between operating cycles was after their operation. However as incorrectly installed the delay is after the button is pressed, before they operate approximately one minute later. This is a completely unnecessary delay to pedestrians and cyclists (who perhaps miss the bus or get more wet), whilst just stopping different motor traffic. | Track: Problem track |
| 131941 |  | Footbridge steps hinder cycling. Footbridge staircases on both sides of the railway should have channels installed on both of their side to accommodate bicycle wheels and allow bicycles to be pushed up and rolled down the slot rather than the steps. | Track: Problem track |
| 131914 |  | Grossly overgrowing hedging planted on Council highway property of the west side of the path. This creates a narrow bottleneck on the path where it is at its busiest point and the lack of width and visibility causes a hazard at the junction with the path to Tiptree Grove. All the hedging planted on the Council highway should be removed, not just trimmed back. | Track: Problem track |
| 131912 |  | Narrow path used by upward of 2000 people movements per day (my estimate). A grass verge is available for passing but this should not be necessary. Surface breaking up and terrible lighting. Reconstruction of the footpath and to a greater width is needed, suitable for walking and cycling. Huge improvements to the lighting are necessary. | Track: Problem track |
| 131911 |  | Very narrow bridge used by upward of 2000 people movements per day (my estimate). Also terrible lighting, highly hazardous surface in winter with actual serious injuries occurring. Replacement footbridge needed suitable for walking and cycling and winter surface treatment | Track: Problem track |
| 128912 |  | Make Hyde Way, one way. So cycles and pedestrians can wait better outside of the school for social distancing. As parents queuing on the path with just one class back already in June and playpen nursery. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128911 |  | Parents queuing into the street. Path too narrow all along here. Why not make Hyde way one way? then widen the footpath and create a cycle lane and bike parking for parents at drop off time. | Track: Problem track |
| 128910 |  | Pavement too narrow for school traffic and cyclists. Parents queuing into the street along here. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128909 |  | School traffic - footfall. Path too narrow. Telegraph pole in the way on bend and road sign too. | Track: Problem track |
| 122659 |  | Space for cyclists | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 119550 |  | The cycle path here is not continuous or of a good quality which means cyclists have to stay on the slip road with traffic joining the A127. Until about 3/4 of the way down where there is a vehicle entry point. It would be useful to improve the point of joining the cycle path. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 116376 |  | Pavement should be continuous from Norsey Road to Potash Road on this side of the road. | Track: Problem track |
| 116374 |  | There needs to be Pavement on this side of Norsey Road. The trees could be cut back and a pavement put in. | Track: Problem track |
| 113773 |  | Sign points wrong way It is 90 degrees wrong. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 113772 |  | Where do we go? Trying to ride West towards Basildon festival park | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 20614 |  | this is the junction of cycle lanes in front of Gloucester Park Swimming Pool; this is the sight as you cycle up from the well designed cycle routes that take you beneath the awful roundabouts on the ring roads that link nethermayne, broadmayne, upper mayne, the town centre and laindon. non-cyclists in basildon may not realise how good the cycle routes are around the centre of the Town taking you off the ring roads. | Route sign: Good practice routesigns |
| 19691 |  | Before the sharp turn where Sparrows Herne becomes Lee Wootten Lane, you can leave the road to join the cycle path besides Nethermayne (the A176). This seems more sensible to me than turning left moments earlier to get to Nethermaybe via the Kingswood Gym as suggested on some maps | Other: Misc general |
| 19689 |  | Crossing the A13 to leave Basildon for the village of Fobbing on National Cycle Route 13 is a challenge. Here are cars having joined the slip road for the eastbound A13. Crossing this slip road in busy traffic is frightening as it is very difficult to see which cars are coming off the roundabout to join the slip road. | Other: Problem general |
| 19688 |  | This photo is deceptive - a moment without traffic. Crossing the A13 to leave Basildon for the village of Fobbing on National Cycle Route 13 is a frustrating challenge. This is the crossing looking East, where westbound cars are coming off the A13. | Other: Problem general |
