A slightly unpleasant roadspace going into a more pleasant link.
Newmarket Road has onroad cyclelanes. They suffer from the usual issues of potholes, road debris, litter swept into it by passing traffic. The speed camera is an indicator that motor traffic has driven too fast along here as well. With crossing bus stops and side roads this makes this quite unpleasant.
It gets more unpleasant after the railway bridge as the lane narrows considerably suggesting to bus drivers that they can come with a couple of feet when passing (ignoring the highway code rule 163). I'd suggest taking the primary position to stop this, unlike my actions. Note passing didn't help the progress of the bus.
Turning into the retail park means getting into a nicer environment. At the junctions to the retail park, be aware of cars turning left without indicating. I take the turn but keeping back from the turning car (who did thankfully signal).
Remember that cars here are looking for parking spaces and can be less attentive to others around them. Take extra care and be prepared to stop quickly.
Different from the other direction, after a while this is a good place to use the cyclelanes at the side of the road. There's lots of space between the road and parked cars.
This route is quicker and nicer that going along Newmarket Road.
