Science Vale Cycling Update – The Winnaway

As a follow up to Winnaway improvements, is there anything that could be done about the bottom section between the end of the path and the A417 junction. It’s manageable when you can see the potholes, but a bit of a gamble when it’s wet.

The other issue I’ve seen is the turn right onto the top of the Winnaway from the A4185. Cars don’t expect cyclists to turn right as there is no warning that the path even exists other than some paint and I’ve seen some near misses with cars overtaking while turning (despite timely signals). Would there be any scope for a small traffic island (like on the pedestrian crossing sections of the A4185) to protect the turn?
