A3 Road - Cycle Paths

Cycle Paths

There are several shared pedestrian and cycle paths on the A3, although many are infrequently used. One cycle path links the village of Liss with the town of Petersfield on the Portsmouth-bound side of the A3 Petersfield bypass. Another links the village of Greatham with West Liss. The path is on the London-bound side, linking to a bridge over the A3 to West Liss. This means cyclists and pedestrians are not required to cross the dual carriageway on foot at the Ham Barn roundabout. There is another path on the Portsmouth-bound A3 between Longmoor Rd (near Greatham) and Liphook via Griggs Green.

There is also a cycle path between Greatham and Liphook, and nearer Portsmouth there is a cycle path between Clanfield and the Queen Elizabeth Country Park, a large forest near Petersfield next to the A3. There is, however, no cycle path between Petersfield and the Queen Elizabeth Country Park.

Between Thursley and Milford (near Guildford), cycle crossings of the slip roads have been constructed on both sides of the carriageway for the few cyclists travelling on this dual carriageway.

Famous quotes containing the words cycle and/or paths:

    Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
    A medley of extemporanea;
    And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
    And I am Marie of Roumania.
    Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    Fair is my Love, and cruel as she’s fair
    Her brow shades frowns, although her eyes are sunny;
    Her smiles are lightning, though her pride despair;
    And her disdains are gall, her favours honey.
    A modest maid, decked with a blush of honour,
    Whose feet do tread green paths of youth and love,
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
