Stockport's new interchange Bridge is kinda there. Hopefully will provide a frictionless route for walkers and wheelers between train station, bus station and town!
So far I'm a fan. https://t.co/drjzUn8Byu
Cycle crossing of Wallbank Road. It could probably use some colour treatment (dyed asphalt) and be clearly raised above the carriageway, but it's not bad. There's a shared zebra crossing of Bridge Lane in the background.

Clearly these are routes that the council want to encourage people on bikes to use (rather than the A6). So why isn’t a road like this filtered to encourage drivers to use the A6? https://t.co/gAnjHTWIS0

A newly designated cycle link between Green Lane and Gorsey Brow, with new barriers.

Access point to the Middlewood Way.
Macclesfield to Marple is an excellent leisure route shared with horse riders, dog walkers and cyclists.
Path (now on map, but not on StreetView yet) leading under railway to join Gorsey Bank Road
There is an underpass under the railway, connecting the path alongside Gorsey Bank Road with Swythamley Road. It is sometimes used as a hangout by unfriendly local scallies though.
Would you cycle through here at night ?
A curious crossing - just a thin bit of red tarmac and a few barriers. I don't think it has any special legal status.
Amsterdammertje bollards presumably used to eliminate opportunistic motor vehicle storage on this street off the A6 round the corner from a co-operative convenience store.
Looks like a fun BMX area on this side of the river Goyt.

Pelican crossing, Romiley.
Manned level crossing at Norbury.
Stepping stones on a short walk along Happy Valley Park, near Bramhall.
Locals tell me that this unmarked green area alongside Cale Green and Bramhall Lane in Stockport is a horse graveyard. All the horses that pulled the brewery carts had to be disposed of somewhere - but I am yet to find other references to
Tunnel under the A6
Location: High Lane (England, United Kingdom)
Footpath crossing this farm access road has stiles on ether side. On the right it goes up to a railway crossing point.

The sign reads "Do not struggle down the stairs, a lift is available".
"Don't struggle down the stairs a lift is available" sign at Stockport railway station.
Looking across from platform 0 at Stockport railway station - two sheffield - style racks for bikes on a railway platform. The station has more cycle parking outside, including lockers.
NCN route signage.
(NB the pole is actually straight; this photographic effect is due to the camera being moved while being taken.)
Elaborate pinchpoint to stop motorbikes. Probably a necessary evil.
The steps here make this a genuine pedestrian zone!
A solitary No Entry sign is not valid - there should be two.
No entry, and the cycle by-pass is blocked.
