It says that Wetherby Road is important for school and the hospital but the pavement is narrow with lots of side roads so pavement cycling is not practical. Riding on the road with a child, when there are lots of big lorries and buses, isn’t safe, and it’s hard to find a break in the traffic to move to the centre of the road to turn right.
Crossing of A661 Wetherby Road needed, to get from Slingsby Walk to Willaston Road. This is one of our priorities https://harrogatecycleaction.org.uk/priorities/
Improve crossing arrangements where Willaston Road meets the A59.
