Cycle track too narrow to overtake!
Narrow cycle track, but the rough bit to the side assists with passing. No use for overtaking though (see #54912).
Southbound, the transition from cycle track to road is straightforward
The lack of a stopline across the cycle lane I guess means cyclists going to the cycle track can pass on red. The sharp corner could have been avoided by taking a cycle track passed the other side of the signal post and such ambiguity would
The cycle route leaves the parallel road to run alongside the A59 on a cycle track.
Give Way to oncoming vehicles which you can't see. Maybe I should have taken a photo of the car reversing back as I was putting the camera away!

And unfilled ditch across start of path.
Mileages on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal
Canal access from Marsh Lane is via a spiral staircase

A remarkably smooth and useful bit of path. Segregated by just a white line, pedestrians to the left and cyclists to the right. Not really wide enough for bidirectional use, but as good as it gets in the UK.
