Stickers stuck over the toucan crossing signal so that it is not obvious that crossing by cycle is allowed. Part of the Colleges Cycle Route on Cowcaddens Road.

The road environment around Cowcaddens hasn't persuaded this person to cycle on the road.

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

Van parking on the recently rebuild footway in University Avenue. There are parking bays in the road in front of the building the vans are parked at the rear of, in University Gardens.

A delivery van parked on the recently rebuilt footway, and two more vans parked further along. This is what happens when the roadway is designed without any provision for loading bays.

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

A vandalised 20mph reminder sign, with a contradictory 30mph sign on the joining side road. Also, a commercial vehicle parked on the footway, including tactile paving, at the junction.

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? A very poor surface on a road that supposedly is the flagship Colleges Cycle Route. See #186854.

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.

Another 'Cycles only' sign on University Avenue. The solid line of the mandatory cycle lane extends over part of the junction too.

Traffic sign violations.

Cycle lane markings have appeared. Sign still wrong.

University Avenue at the western limit of its reworking. Note the centre line is less restrictive than the lane lines.

No sooner had the van driver driven off from his position in the University Avenue cycle lane (see #182578), than a taxi driver came and parked there instead. The coach is parked on the other side of the road, where there is no cycle lane. … [more]

Vehicles parked in the unmarked mandatory cycle lane (indicated only by red chips in the asphalt), and a 30mph sign marking (possibly) the end of the 20mph outside schools on Gibson Street and on the corner of University Avenue and Kelvin … [more]

'Cycles only' on University Avenue, apparently.

More car parking in the University Avenue cycle lanes, across the Kelvin Way access.

A route sign directing cyclists to the City Centre and Colleges Cycle Route, pointing up South Woodside Road towards North Kelvinside.

The road closure on this side does not appear to accommodate cycling, but there is a direction sign at #176164 directing cyclists into this street.

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.

Temporary closure of the path east of the Phoenix Road underpass for work on the crumbling motorway flyover. The Colleges Cycle Route is not affected at this stage.

A van driver parked in the protected cycle lane and on the footway, while pedestrians try to get by.

@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

A new dropped kerb at the Caledonian University entrance, with cycle symbol, for turning from the main carriageway. But the cycle route is on the opposite footway.

@CyclingGlasgow @GlasgowCC Why Is parking on cycle paths tolerated ????? @Hyndland #peoplemakeglasgow #not cyclist- friendly #carsmakeglasgow https://t.co/AoPQOl2jpm

Although the shared footway is wide, it is obstructed with a poster board and a large bin, plus drivers queue across the crossing with the bus station taxi access. Shortly after the crossing, the cycle route crosses to the narrower footway … [more]

@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

Popular cycle parking in Park Road, with room for more

Cycle bypass to No Entry restriction blocked by wheelie-bin and fly-tipping

Sign for Colleges Cycle Route, but with no destination.

Signs on round pole pointing in the wrong directions on Park Road

A closer shot of those bike racks and bollards outside a University of Glasgow building

Colleges Cycle Route direction sign on Clarence Drive on approach to Hyndland Road junction. Cycle lane infringement by motorists, due to narrow lanes. Poor road design.

Cycle parking stands near shops in Hyndland. There is plenty of space here to have put these end-on to the wall, making them easier to use, and using space more efficiently.
