No, but at least you can get to Phil Corley's from the south side, which is typically what I've been trying to do, by following signs for Buckingham or Stratford. Path designers consistently fail to learn from experience building roads for cars, where you signpost for distant and sometimes vague places, such as The North or Birmingham, not necessarily because most drivers are going that far, but because they'll head that way to get from Watford to Rugby, and then pick up signs for Rugby and finally Crick when they get nearer. If cycle paths are ever signed, it tends to be for the next "village", which you've never heard of unless you're a local.axel_knutt wrote: ↑14 Jul 2022, 1:47pm Navigating the roads wasn't particularly easy because a repetitive rectilinear grid lined with featureless hedges makes it difficult to form any sense of where you are.
Also, at least in Stevenage, main paths going across town are not marked differently, in the way that A roads are from B and the rest, so there's no concept of one way being a through route vs another being likely to stop in some obscure park. All paths are created equal. Of course, ones running alongside A roads are likely to be through routes, but in practice they are often not, and it's critical whether you go up the left or right side of that A road if you don't want to get stuck somewhere.
