Keep left signs needed all the way down the road. The path currently isn't wide enough for cyclists and pedestrians to have separate lanes so sharing the path is better but bikes and people need to be reminded to stay on the left and not wa ... [more]
Most of this cycle lane/footpath is a bit narrow or you have to go round lamp posts. A fence between the path and road would be better and help cyclists feel safer. Cycling towards traffic going 50mph is scary when there are other people on ... [more]
No crossing for cycles on south side across Moorings Way to connect to Euston Road, also remove end of route signs
Problem is difficult for cyclists to leave and remain on the road to use the cycle path over the bridge, particularly for those travelling West to east
The way through here is now closed, would like to see a cycle and walking path through here to link the Eastern Rd to the seafront
Moe cycleway/pedestrians away from the road towards the shore for a safer and less fume ridden experience.
Move the cycleway away from the road towards the shoreline whilst there is the opportunity because of the sea defences work. Same applies for a cycleway. I can't understand why this opportunity was not taken earlier as it may be too late no ... [more]
The cycle path along Eastney esplanade is dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists. Pedestrians get out of their car with families and don’t realise / forget there is a path there. Motorists get aggressive when cyclists go on road to avoid t ... [more]
Entrance to car park is much too "flared" allowing drivers to turn into car park at high speed. Needs to have a raised "continuous" path across entrance to both slow drivers and reinforce priority of people walking and riding bikes on path.
If there was a cycleway along this island to the pedestrian crossing to the north, getting on and off this island for a north south journey would be made much simpler and reduce the temptation to use the exits without crossing control.
St Mary’s Rd from round about to entrance to Kingston Cemetery should be made into a 20mph zone This can be justified as the bridge is quite steeply humped near entrances to Whitcombe Gardens, St Mary's House Estate and new entrance to ... [more]
Cycle markings (going south) should be implemented on each lane as cyclists still have the same legal right to ride in these lanes as drivers don't think they do especially when going towards Northern Parade getting beeped at because I choo ... [more]
The cycle path on this stretch of road is not wide enough and makes it dangerous for cyclists and motorists alike
The cycle way through the gate needs to be marked as there are often lorries parked obstructing the way past the gate.
There are always vehicles parked on the pavement/cycle way here - always. All the houses have driveways and there is plenty of parking in Hamilton Road.
This 'cyclepath' is too narrow to be two-way dual use. The corner by the roundabout is a blind bend with a dropped kerb shortly after northbound which suggests crossing is OK there. This means it is common to cycle around this bend and fin ... [more]
Speed humps make cyclists swerve to go round them - they should be standard humps that cyclists can dodge
Sign to direct cyclist to Unicorn Gate tunnel and Victoria Park, Guildhall as better route to Southsea
Victoria Park makes a pleasant link, with Guildhall Square from Southsea via Unicorn Gate tunnel, but crossing of Bishop Crispian Way difficult
In the redevelopment of Tipnor could a cycle/pedestrian link between the promenade at the Mountbatten and Tipnor Lane be prioritised.
Some parts of the cycle way going north are dangerous and frightening - if another cyclist is come from the north and you are going north you forced very close to the kerb edge with cars and lorries passing you at 70mph the lorries almost s ... [more]
As the 1st green on the golf course no longer follows the roadside as it did many years ago the area here could be better utilised to create wide pathway and cycle ways with separation. In addition the light at Airport service road could in ... [more]
The barrier between the road and the path should be made higher/ stronger families struggle when cycling but there should also be education in place that this is not a velodrome but a shared area for all to use respectfully

This was once a useful and safe route. Since the sea defence wall has been built and the cycleway removed it's a danger to all users with no delineation between users. There will be a serious accident here soon.
I have said this a number of times. One way systems where there is a dedicated cycle and bus lane would make cycling so much safer. Parking on both sides of the road is a cycling nightmare.
Widen cycle path and barrier from traffic. Reduce speed of traffic to 30mph the whole length of Eastern Road.
A direct route is needed across the common to reduce necessity of using shared path next to highway and connecting to NCN route at Moorings Way (previously announced by PCC in 2018)
The advantage of cycling north /south is restricted by the necessity to travel through the roundabout. An elevated cycle / ped walkway would remove the need to use four crossing points with associated waiting time.
The very narrow approach to the Car Park (London Road Hilsea Bridge) at the end of the creek cycleway needs to be widened
The bushes need to be cut back as you cannot see people walking/cycling approaching especially when cycling downhill southwards from the roundabout.
The whole section from Target Road to Twyford Avenue needs to be smoothed out and widened with boulders removed
The Eastern Road cycleway needs to be widened for most of its length and flattened out especially the northern-most 2 miles which is incredibly lumpy and bumpy now
Cycle lane needed & barriers to protect drivers from cyclists. **Do not ** add traffic filter on Eastern Rd, experienced the chaos & complete waste of money these caused in Chichester
Cycle lane ends abruptly here and cyclists either continue on pavement, join busy carriageway or cross the road which extends the journey
Vehicles manoeuvring around the two car repair facilities here often pull out into the road without looking
Designated cycle route but also used heavily by articulated lorries which cannot navigate the bends without pulling across the full width of the road. This causes a risk to oncoming traffic and also cycles that may not be seen
Too narrow here for cycles and pedestrians to pass each other safely. No protection from high speed traffic
Cyclists riding on the pavement at top speed past the hospital where injured, sick or elderly people are entering and exiting. Bus stop here too where pedestrians have near misses with cyclists as they step out to ask the bus to stop. Make ... [more]
People waiting at the bus stop here have to check that there are no cyclists riding at top speed past them. Ban cycling and enforce it. Create a safe cycle way on the road. Could narrow pavement to allow for this.
Cyclists using both sides of Velder Avenue as it leads to the permissible cycle path on the Eastern Road. A proper cycle path needs to be installed, that is separate from pedestrians and the pavement. Cyclists and pedestrians don't mix well ... [more]
From the Briny there are parked cars facing in all along this road right up as far as the fair almost, as a cyclist I always feel very vulnerable cycling along this part of the seafront as a car could back out without seeing cyclists, I thi ... [more]
Requires widening as its a good pathway from the seafront cycleway to connect to the Eastern Road without the need to go on the road, this pathway requires widening and updating for all walkers, kids and cyclists.
As there are a great deal of alterations currently being undertaken on Portsmouth costal defenses, why don't you incorporate cycle and pavement improvements here. There is nothing to say or make the cyclists use the cycle lane except commo ... [more]
The traffic lights here are terrible for cyclists. Because the southbound traffic only has red lights for buses turning out of Tangier Road or pedestrians motorists travelling south never expect this light to be red. I used the cycle crossi ... [more]
This section of cycleway is unlit, in stark contrast to the rest of the route. Maybe some low level lighting (rather than full on street lights) would be sufficient for safety.
Prioritise cycle lane here, cycle lane is very narrow and faded. Remove 1 car lane to be replaced with better cycle lane. (Modify light changes for turn right and ahead).
Remove car parking spaces outside Rowlands for green cycle lane so cyclists are passed by with adequate room.
This road remove right turn into st Mary's, have dedicated cycle route - make right turn as single file traffic (modify traffic signals) At traffic lights green cycle square in front of pedestrian crossing. Cycle path on pavement shouldn't ... [more]
Move the cycle lane and re-route it behind The Harvester and the mobile homes following the waters edge . a much greater distance from the eastern road and more scenic .
Improve cycle path that turns away from coast path here. Need to stop cyclists carrying on south as there is no room for bikes and people.
Take cycle route along Kirpal Rd and Tamworth Rd, cut through Tamworth Park, on to Walsall Rd and Langstone Rd and out to St Mary's roundabout
Widen gate or remove a plank so tyre can go through and bike could be taken through without lifting it
Need to add bike stands somewhere in the area. Useful for Rees Halls visitors, as-well as users of local restaurants and pubs. Pavement plenty wide enough
The cycleway is very narrow here and there is a blind bend. I have had several near misses. The road adjacent to this area is chevroned off, so it's not being used, it could easily be used to widen this pinch point
This is a horrible junction for a cyclist who wants to travel North. You have to be wary of cars continuing South and cutting across you as you try to turn North. When you do round the corner you are in the middle of two lanes of traffic.
Please make a cycleway/pavement on BOTH sides of the Eastern Road all the way up to the bridge. There are parts on the west side already, they need to be joined up and improved. I am convinced this would split the walkers, cyclists and runn ... [more]
