West Bay Promenade


Shouldn't there be lanes to separate walkers and cyclists?


Cyclists dismount sign needed where path narrows.


This dismount sign should face the cyclists.
It should also be much closer to eye level.


Should there be cycling on a promenade*?


Small children could walk head first into the handrail projection.
Men could have an eye-watering experience.
Why wasn't this handrail curved into the main handrail?


A lesser hazard but still a hazard.
There are several short lengths of wooden-topped handrail 
which project 100-120 mm inside the main handrail.

*PROMENADE

A paved public walk, typically one along the seafront at a resort.

A leisurely walk, or sometimes a ride or drive, taken in a public place so as to meet or be seen by others.

(In country dancing) a movement in which couples follow one another in a given direction, each couple having both hands joined.
