Cyclists arriving at the end of Southport pier. This is the start of the cycleway to Wigan pier, ncn562. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_to_Wigan_Pier
Narrow cycle track, but the rough bit to the side assists with passing. No use for overtaking though (see #54912).
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 ... [more]

Route sign for the same route as in #54664 directing cyclists up a no through road. Maybe the ultimate destination of the route is on this road.
Route sign with an emblem but no destination on it. Sorry, I missed the start of the route, so don't know where it goes. And unfilled ditch across start of path.
The NCN62 connection between the canal path and Ormskirk Road is via a flight of steps, although a wheeling ramp has been provided.
NCN810 sticker explaining that it is the current end of route. http://modgov.sefton.gov.uk/moderngov/mgAi.aspx?id=25712 gives details of the proposed route across Formby.
