Issue: There appears to be a cycle lane across this bridge but it is very narrow while it is unsafe for a cyclist to be passed here.

Solution: Remove appearance of a cycle lane. Place cycle logos in the centre of the lane and provide a sign telling motorists not to overtake.

Bypass to Cross Keys roundabout for some journeys.

Solution: Allow cyclists to use bridge over A38 in both directions. Adequate space as half of the road is crosshatched

Issue: Difficult to access right-hand lane for going ahead.

Solution: Short term: Provide warning sign that cyclists need to go right and to give them priority in doing so. Perhaps provide cycle lane between two traffic lanes. Longer term: When roads in this area are modified for development, change left-hand lane to go ahead with left turn off road towards M5.

The A38 is the only road route between Frampton-on-Severn and Slimbridge, interrupting a popular network of minor roads from Gloucester to Bristol and involving a substantial detour that is not suitable for less confident cyclists. The canal towpath has the potential to bridge this gap but the present surface is narrow and uneven and suitable only for off-road bikes.

Solution: Widen and lay a tarmac surface on the towpath from Frampton to Slimbridge.

Improve junction for cycling. Has become much worse since 2019 changes to increase capacity and speed. A major barrier to cycling across the area. Cycle facilities in area much too dangerous and inconvenient.

Solution: Add traffic signals with protection for all movements. Reduce vehicle speeds through junction.

Issue: Chicane barrier on signed cycle route that is difficult to pass and unnecessarily restrictive. On strategic cross-county route from Cheltenham and Churchdown to Upton St Leonards and Stonehouse.

Solution: Replace barrier with bollards.

Issue: Cycles are exempt from crossing the A38 from Grove Lane and also thereby making a right-turn at this place. However, the exemption is only indicated by a single sign at the junction and all advance signs (from the A419 and subsequently) indicate that it is not a through route for any vehicles. The road enables the roundabouts on the A419 at the M5 and A38 to be avoided and is a more pleasant route.

Solution: Append all advance signs with 'except cycles' plates.

Accessibility in Stroud town centre.

Solution: Allow cyclists to use King Street from Rowcroft to Lansdown two-way.

Stroud town centre accessibility.

Solution: Allow cyclists to use Lansdown two-way from King Street to Locking Hill. (Eastern section of Lansdown already has two-way cycling)

Junction difficult for cycling especially to/from Crosskeys.

Solution: Protect cycle movement from north onto overbridge against left-turning traffic onto motorway. Protect northbound cycles across exit from motorway towards Crosskey.

Roundabout difficult to cross and slip road from south to west. Cycle facilities (only north/south) very poor.

Solution: Add traffic signals to roundabout for all movements. Longer term: eliminate roundabout.

Issue: Impossible for most people to cycle up the steep hill during a single green phase of the traffic lights.

Solution: Exempt cyclists from the red light going uphill and erect signs to inform downhill traffic to expect cyclists coming up at all times. Unsure if there is sufficient space for an uphill cycle lane (which would need to be wide due to stability on the steep hill).

Issue: Hill too steep for restarting by cyclists if a stop is necessary at the traffic signals.

Solution: Move stop line for cycles to advance signal or to edge of London Road where the gradient is a little less steep.
