Richmond Athletic Association carpark exit
The exit from the car park crosses the shared use path and is blind from the drivers POV if they stop at the give way markings. This means that drivers will move blindly across the shared use path without being able to see cycles moving along the path.
The solution is to close the gate to motor traffic.
The carpark is accessible from both the driveway to Pools on the Park and from Kew Foot Road and the entrance from Pools on the Park would appear adequate to act as both an entrance and an exit.
There's a post on the RCC website about this exit, including a picture of a woman nearly being knocked of her bike by an emerging car. That year, a mother cycling with her son was hit by a car and required medical attention, nearly two years later nothing has changed. The solution is simple, close this exit and allow cars to enter and exit via the road to Pools on the Park.
