    A number of the routes, which are specified by coloured signposts, have been recently upgraded to offer new, more convenient ways of cycling or walking to different 
destinations.

    Not sure that it's poor signage that is stopping people cycling.

    Maps of the city’s QuietRoutes are available to download for free from the council’s website

    "

    So there are -

    How long have they been there?

    Not great for mapping the routes, neither are some of the routes, check 14 -

    Oh hey, it's George Street after they removed the safe cycle infrastructure.

    City bosses have urged residents to use them as much as possible.

    Sorry, I'm probably just being thick, but what's wrong with #14?

    Nothing wrong, it's just that calling about a mile of the NEPN a route seems immensely pointless.

    I presume the map is economical with the truth and part of route 13 is also a section of 14 so it does start from part of Trinity rather than FiveWays(?)

    It's just a pity that the council can't be bothered resurfacing them.
