North Road is too narrow for both cycles and buses/lorries to circulate side-by-side when there are cars parked on both sides. As it is an uphill route cyclists travel fairly slowly and both buses and cars try to overtake passing very closely to the cyclists.

It is not possible to dismount and walk on the pavement as there are some sections without pavement.

Perhaps the City could remove a lane of parking and use that space to make a bike lane.
