I've always wondered what Cherry Hinton is like. It's one of those places you can go your whole life and never have a need to visit.
Am curious about some of those schemes; the solid line mandatory routes appear to render car parking areas and private drives inaccessible.
Of course, Cambridge has some shoddy facilities but, on the whole, it is leaps and bounds ahead of most of the UK.
It has Cherry Hinton Hall, where the Cambridge Folk Festival is held every year. It's convenient for the hospital, so a lot of medical types live here. It's next to the airport. Other than that, it's just a bit meh. People who think of Cambridge as beautiful have either never been here and only seen it on TV, or have only visited the historic centre, and somehow failed to notice the crap that surrounds it.
As for the mandatory cycle lanes, you are allowed to cross them to gain access. The example on Newmarket Roas by the P&R site (my second link iirc) is just comical. Cambridge is heavily blighted by crap cycling facilities.
The worst of the lot is Cherry Hinton High St. I really must video a ride down it staying in the cycle lane. Though I might increase my life insurance first.
