Looking at it on Google Streetview, the design of the cycleway surface <br>
implies that it terminates at the intersection with the A102 (Homerton <br>
High Street) directly opposite Isabella Road, as linked by that way. And <br>
there are no "shared use" signs visible on the pavements to the north of <br>
that junction on either side of the A102, implying that cyclists may not <br>
legally ride there anyway.<br>
<br>
So I think that way reflects the correct legal position: the shared use <br>
path that runs from the stub of Homerton Row follows the original route <br>
of Homerton Row all the way to Homerton High Street, where cyclists are <br>
expected to rejoin the carriageway. Bearing in mind that this was, once, <br>
a crossroads with Homerton Row and Isabella Road on opposite sides of <br>
Homerton High Street (c/f NLS maps). The western end of Homerton Row has <br>
been part-pedestrianised, but the legal route remains the same as it was <br>
before, and the highway of Homerton Row ends at Homerton High Street.<br>
<br>
Which is a long-winded way of saying, leave the way where it is, it <br>
looks correct to me.<br>
