A number of residents have contacted us about the new emergency exit / entrance to the Revival estate, which is intended to provide emergency access to the estate via Masters Mews.
There is a secured gate to prevent ordinary vehicular access, but it can be used by pedestrians and cyclists.
We share residents’ concerns at the absence of markings to indicate to cyclists exiting the estate that they need to stop before pulling out onto Tadcaster Road via the footpath.
The current arrangement presents a hazard to cyclists, pedestrians and motorists.
We have asked for markings to be put down similar to those used at the exit from York station car park onto Lowther Terrace, pictured below.
This shows how markings can be used to indicate to cyclists where they need to stop and check for oncoming pedestrians and motorists before joining the carriageway.
If you look properly at that whole footpath between Tadcaster Road and College Court you will see that the markings at either end do not match. The footpath and the cycle path markings are reversed at either end, and the ridged paving slabs laid incorrectly at one of the ends. Not that any pedestrian or cyclist will follow the path around when they can cut across the carpark willy-nilly.
