East Road/Mill Road junction not detecting cyclists
A member of the public has informed us that the signals at the junction of East Road and Mill Road are not detecting people on bikes on the lane in front of the fire station heading east on Mill Road. Has anyone else experienced this? We can get an email to the signals team.

Trumpington / Chaucer Road Junction
Proposed new signallng for Trumpington Road / Chaucer Road junction.
Issues with this:
1. There is no details as to whether there are toucan crossing signals for the shared use path across the Chaucer Road Arm.
2. It does not improve safety for city-bound cyclists/pedestrians who still have to avoid vehicles turning left into Chaucer Road.
2. There remains a major problem with the on road cycle lane on the outbound side where the rear ends of large vehicles, especially coaches and busses, enter into the cycle lane as the vehicles make the slight right turn after the existing island.
Work is meant to be starting 14th January! Can I write a letter on behalf of the cycling campaign pointing out these issues?

Cycle crossing signal timings
Issue derived from June 2017 monthly meeting: this issue tracks information related to the timing of traffic signals that control cycle crossings (e.g. Maids Causeway / Fair St, East Road / Norfolk St, Queens Rd / Burrell's Walk, Gonville Place / Gresham Rd, all along Guided Busway, appearing on various countryside routes, etc).
We would like to gather the following information:
a) how are the signals programmed currently (and when they change, what have they been changed to?)
b) who is responsible for the programming of the cycle as well as the placement of cycle detectors (if any)?
c) when needed, what levers can be pushed to get signals changed to give more priority to people walking and cycling? -
Brookgate / Brooklands Ave / Hills Road junction
Two issues, really:
(1) It has puzzled me for some time that there is no way to cycle from Brookgate onto Brooklands Avenue. The traffic signal only shows a left green arrow from Brookgate onto Hills Road, which serves the buses, but Brooklands is a major cycle route and would make sense to access it directly from the station (there is a long way around via Clarendon & the busway otherwise).
As it happens, when the left green arrow is showing, I have never seen any other conflicting traffic movement (although presumably Hills Road left onto Brooklands Ave is green at this time? I haven't checked). So it seems like it would be very simple to fix this problem: just convert the green left arrow into a green ball & cut any conflicting movements.
(2) Regardless of that change, there should also be an advanced-stop-line on Brookgate, which there currently is not, so that buses do not sneak up and left-hook people. Even when making a left turn from Brookgate you can be left-hooked by a left-turning bus if they are not careful. So the lack of ASL here is rather strange.
