Car parking at the Kelvin Way junction still an on-going problem.

The burst water main in #189435 has been repaired and the road patched, but the pothole has been left untouched!

A pothole full of water, and water rising through the footway surface. The sign says "Due to burst water main please do not park", but was ignored by one private plates driver. (The pipes belong to a team of window cleaners.)

Was I imagining that this road got resurfaced last year?

Was I imagining that this road got resurfaced last year? The sign for the junction ahead should show a crossroads, not just a junction on one side.

The narrow advisory cycle lanes on Highburgh Road are almost invisible. The taxi is parked on a bus stop clearway.

The narrow advisory cycle lanes on Highburgh Road are almost invisible. The section of road in the foreground has been resurfaced, and awaits the reinstatement of road markings.

Not again! A driver parking in the cycle lane on University Avenue, and across part of the junction mouth of Kelvin Way.

It made sense to someone… somewhere… https://t.co/vptZitAdIL

The route sign says "Primary School" but the dropped kerb at the junction is of poor quality, with no obvious dropped kerb on the other side of the road closure in Dowanhill Street. The Colleges Route cycle lane has been made narrower and … [more]

Not a care in the world about any inconvenience their parking may cause.

Van parking in the cycle lane on Crow Road at Broomhill Cross. Location: Broomhill, Glasgow (Scotland, United Kingdom)

Accumulated mud in the faded cycle lane in Broomfield Road.

A faded cycle lane on Broomfield Road, at a pinch-point. It also leads into a chain of potholes at the bus stop.

The cycle lanes on Broomfield Road are almost invisible now.

The speed humps are freshly painted, but the cycle lane is looking rather faded.

Car parking in the Langlands Road cycle lane and footway. No waiting restrictions.

Cycle lanes being used for car parking, without any waiting restrictions. Designed for failure.

A short section of cycle lane on Seaward Street, but not really any use for crossing at the toucan crossing.

The painted cycle lane on Gorbals Street zig-zags around some parking bays before returning to the kerbside.

Cycling on Gorbals Street. A two-way facility is due to be built as part of the South City Way, so this is temporary.

@GlasgowCC @SustransScot That's great! But why the parking spots just down the road before the British Linen Building? They have not been there before, there is no need and it generates a dangerous bottleneck between opening car doors on … [more]

The advisory cycle lane in University Avenue changes to a mandatory cycle lane, but the double yellow lines stop.

A poor surface in the University Avenue cycle lane, and incursion by a car driver.

A short length of painted cycle lane appears next to the cycle lane sign. The previous cycle lane sign didn't have any cycle lane.

The cycle lanes have pretty much vanished from Robroyston Gate.

The cycle lanes painted when the business park was first built have all but disappeared from the road. Not that they made much sense.

Footway cycling on Langlands Road where the painted cycle lanes are blocked by parked cars.

Car parking in the Langlands Road painted cycle lanes, and an old 'No Cycling' sign at this end of the path to Mallaig Road.

Unprotected painted cycle lanes on Clarence Drive, with parking on one side of the road.

Commercial van parking in the painted cycle lane on Port Dundas Road.

The end of the widened footway and transition onto an on-road painted cycle lane along Alderman Road.

A "Cycle Quietway" has been signed through Knightswood, crossing Alderman Road here at Commore Drive. Again the buffer strip between the car parking bay and the cycle lane does not allow sufficient space for a car to be parked between the … [more]

The road markings on part of Alderman Road have been renewed, including a buffer strip between the parking bays and the cycle lane, but there's really no point in painting it less than the width of a car away from the kerb.

Absolutely perfect timing. @GoBikeGlasgow @UofGsustain @PeopleByresRoad #paintIsNotProtection https://t.co/LENi1rbIkA

@morebikesplease @PeopleByresRoad @UofGsustain Here was two weeks ago. It's almost like there's a pattern...! Just shows the lack of consideration given to cycle infra that paint is even considered an option here. Anyone who uses the road … [more]

Paint is not protection @PeopleByresRoad @UofGsustain https://t.co/BF102sqsik

Entitled driver's reaction to #carfreeday https://t.co/E6vXC6RfX1

Precisely no-one ends their journey here, so why does the cycle lane end here?

Since my last visit painted cycle lanes have appeared on Hamilton Road west of Daldowie Road. Perhaps some of the extensive hatching could have been sacrificed in order to provide some segregation.

The narrow cycle lane on Kelso Street bridge with footway car parking. No waiting restrictions so the assumption must be that the council approves of this.

A cycle lane designed for car parking. Let's not pretend this is designed for cycling.

This is what a painted bike lane means @PeopleByresRoad @GlasgowCC @glendalegaelic @walkcyclevote St Andrew's Drive https://t.co/xSJ0xYx8OH

I don't suppose it matters that this van is parked in the Meiklewood Road cycle lane, since the cycle route turns right at the end of the road.

Junction potholes in the Meiklewood Road cycle lane.

The parking layby is again too narrow for ordinary cars to be reliably parked within, so eroding the buffer zone that is meant to contain door openings.

Cycle lane or not?

The painted cycle lane on Meiklewood Road goes around the bend, then vanishes for a bit.

The cycle lane on Meiklewood Road starts to move out from the kerb.

The cycle route is also a recommended route for lorry driving!

What is the point of advisory cycle lanes? Cumbernauld Rd today, both sides covered in parked cars @AnnaLangside @GlasgowCC @policescotland https://t.co/ze1547or7Z

Cycle lane + d/yellow lines at the foot of busy Gilmore Hill. Ideal parking place #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/xd0YZo2dOx

A pathetic worn-out narrow painted door-zone cycle lane in Kilmarnock Road from the council that won the "Achievements in Cycling" award at the 2017 Scottish Transport Awards.

I'm not sure what the purpose of this cycle lane is.

An 'End of Cycle Route' sign approaching the Northgate Road roundabout, but now the cycle route continues along to the end of Wallacewell Road. I don't know why the traffic island encroaches into the cycle lane.

Cycle lane on Wallacewell Road.

A painted cycle lane on North Hanover Street.

Someone using the central cycle lane on Cambridge Street. UPDATE April 2021: This layout has now been replaced, see #167878.

More waste of paint by Glasgow City Council. The dual use of tin box storage may impress @Bob_Gunderson however... https://t.co/27FfCCrs0W

@ErnieMarples @magnatom @FMcAveety Presumably this "cycle lane" on Govan Rd is also included in km total #pointless https://t.co/ZbbBvLyXlq

More miles for #TeamGlasgow. That painted lane looks so safe (NOT). @GlasgowCC is #lettingtheteamdown https://t.co/YfcNzTVwRc

Painted cycle lanes on West Street. Perhaps the designer could look up the Traffic Signs Manual's road markings section to see how cycle lanes are meant to start.

Three coaches from Allander Travel parked partly on the footway, on double yellow lines and completely blocking the Colleges Route cycle lane on University Avenue.

How wide is a car door? Answer: a bloody lot wider than that "buffer"! @S4CGlasgow http://t.co/DGu9j9prVy

In the opposite direction to the Aikenhead Road cycle lane trial, a conventional advisory cycle lane has been provided, without full-time parking restrictions, and guess what happens.

At the end of the Aikenhead Road cycle lane trial there is a final traffic island with bollards, and the an advisory cycle lane continues until the Calder Street junction. The cycle lane passes a wide depot entrance.

The door-zone cycle lane in Albert Drive reverts to the kerbside.

The westbound cycle lane in Albert Drive is also in the door-zone.

The Albert Drive cycle lane reverts to the kerbside.

The Albert Drive cycle lane moves from kerbside to the door-zone.

@GoBikeGlasgow @GlasgowCC repainting lines and "bike lanes" on Highburgh Road. Car space too narrow, even for a mini! http://t.co/z8q3z3cGmB

Some @bollocksinfra from @GlasgowCC on Hyndland road. Tiny cycle lane with grate to trap wheels. Rest is in door-zone http://t.co/VD7CqQd0ac

Taking the easy option. Who makes these signs anyway? What's wrong with 'Drivers give space to cyclists' ? http://t.co/GfKiJvcQRD

@BCCletts @magnatom @pjakma there's a cycle lane under there somewhere. All cars for sale. Even swanky Masarati. http://t.co/ssLMxBiHzu

@magnatom @S4CGlasgow meanwhile in Pollokshields no #space4cycling here, just another door zone paint job. http://t.co/DgrhnjWr6T

More door zone death traps #GlasgowCycleInfraDay t.co/ME40Iu5fII

Spot the poorly designed & best ignored cycle lane.It's not very visible in real life either. #glasgowcycleinfraday t.co/DQcX0Oc4KQ

This is Gt Western Rd. That's an inadequate cycle approach to an inadequate ASL. #glasgowcycleinfraday @GlasgowCC http://t.co/KSp2RPunVv

Govan Rd. Beneath this row of cars is a cycle lane. Better than 'door zone' across the road? #glasgowcycleinfraday http://t.co/lxOL7vpvOc

Oh the Garrioch Road "cycle path" is for school children??!! Explains the Chelsea tractors. #glasgowcycleinfraday http://t.co/azAMS1Yeu8

Still Garrioch Road "cycle path". #glasgowcycleinfraday http://t.co/HmJgGhMJDy

Garrioch Road "cycle path". #glasgowcycleinfraday http://t.co/D80Lx5RLGM

Cycled around Glasgow today. Lots of cars. Luckily the cycle lanes were there when I needed them most! http://t.co/hLz2ffZx4w

Multiple cycle provision, but none is particularly adequate. Shared-use footway along Pollokshaws Road into Haggs Road, and a faded cycle lane along the inside of the carriageway. Cyclists turning right to continue along Pollokshaws Road … [more]

A couple of taxis parked in the cycle lane lead-in to an Advance Stop Line

Link path to Glasgow-bound NCN7 at Mellerstain Drive, but no dropped kerb. However, cycle lanes have been provided on the cul-de-sac road.

The cycle lanes in the cul-de-sac end before the supermarket junction, not even making it as far as the NCN7 crossing.

Bike lane. Any time you put 'em on the side, they're rendered useless!

Transfer from footway to roadway on so-called East End Regeneration Route, approaching Gallowgate junction, showing potential for left hook.
