Contraflow cycle lane in Gordon Street, with full size cycle signals. The section of Gordon Street across Union Street has reverted to restricted two-way operation, with the station link bus now back serving the front of Central Station.
The South City Way cycleway finally complete past the Sheriff Court. However, the contraflow bus lane signs along this section are now out of date and need replaced.
A connection from the South City Way cycleway to Cleland Street. But parking in the contraflow cycle lane is still a problem.
The flow of the one-way system on West Greenhill Place has been reversed, with a contraflow cycle lane added. The No Entry signs have been painted over, but the paint appears to be washing off! A diversion sign for the cycle route has been … [more]
The flow of the one-way system on West Greenhill Place has been reversed, with a contraflow cycle lane added, but the signage has not been done correctly or completely. The diversion sign for the cycle route is barely noticable. The Get … [more]
Broken glass and a parked van blocking the contraflow cycle lane in Cleland Street. The lane and path to the left over to Gorbals Street was also blocked by parked motor vehicles.
The road markings here are a mess, with hatching across the contraflow cycle lane, and no indication of priorities. There is, however, a Give Way sign facing traffic exiting South Portland Street. There is also a No Through Road sign below … [more]
The contraflow cycle lane on Norfolk Street exists to provide a link from Coburg Street at the back of Bridge Street Subway station to the east.
The signs here state that a left turn is mandatory, but there is a contraflow cycle lane so cycles can turn right.
The contraflow cycle lane in Howard Street is blocked by roadworks, and this sign is at the end cyclists won't be approaching from while using it. See also #170198.
"Cycle Lane Suspended" - no further details. Roadworks are taking place in the contraflow cycle lane in Howard Street ahead. A diversion could have been set up via Dixon Street and Fox Street. See also #170199.
@GlasgowCC @YPLAC Howard Street cycle lane, and guess which road user was bawling abuse at me, for just being there apparently... https://t.co/NtJaA4WEXi
A route sign and pavement parking on the Spean Street shared footway. The shared footway effectively forms a contraflow since this section of the street is one-way.
The Howard Street contraflow cycle lane with orca protection. The traffic island here has been made less obstructive too.
The Howard Street contraflow cycle lane now has protection from orcas. So taxi driver parks on footway at a pedestrian crossing point instead.
The Howard Street contraflow cycle lane now has some protection from orcas, but some motorists still find ways to block it. Enforcement action seems to be missing. The traffic signals have "except cycles" signs, but no prohibition or … [more]
A one-way sign used on Argyle Street where there is a contraflow cycle lane. The vehicles parked in the layby ahead will have been driven in the bus lane.
Incorrect signage and obstructive parking on the Burleigh Street contraflow cycle lane. Room for some cycle parking.
The wet tyre tracks in the Gordon Street contraflow cycle lane reveal that some motorists are entering it in lieu of slowing down to make a tighter turn.
The pop-up contraflow cycle lane in Gordon Street, outside Central Station. The temporary 'One Way' signs are incorrect.
The pop-up contraflow cycle lane in Gordon Street, signed with temporary 'No Entry' signs, one of which has an 'except cyclists' plate below it, in place of the more usual 'except cycles'. The usual 'No Motor Vehicles' signs have been … [more]
@MCRCycleSam @RantyHighwayman @CyclingSurgeon @theJeremyVine I guess we should also factor in that you’ll have double deckers coming straight at nearly on the line... 😶 https://t.co/6dNqsRA9eY [See also #139326]
A pop-up contraflow cycle lane has been installed on Argyle Street under Central Station, and other westbound traffic eliminated, in order to provide more space for pedestrians on the opposite footway. Temporary 'No Entry' signs have been … [more]
We asked for #SpaceForPeople, but we didn’t ask for skinny lanes, no segregation, and real life experience of the surface of the moon! We can do better! ☹️ https://t.co/dHxTevjhpx [See also #139536]
Another view of the contraflow cycle lane on Argyle Street. The cycle lanes could easily have been painted with a smoother transition in road position. See also #139322.
The contraflow cycle lane on Argyle Street has an abrupt change of direction, following the kerb. See also #139324.
A contraflow cycle lane has been created on Argyle Street, but it is full of broken asphalt and dislodged stonework, and is nowhere near a smooth ride. With on-coming vehicles now in the centre of the carriageway (as in #139536), less … [more]
Glasgow’s counterflow bikes lanes, used by motor vehicles more than bicycles. Counterflow bike lanes in areas like this need barriers of some sort so that they stay open and free to allow cyclists safe and priority when moving around. … [more]
More cars parked in the Cardonald Place Road contraflow cycle lane. When I got to the traffic signals, I waited for two pedestrian phases and still the cycle phase did not happen.
A private hire car parked on double yellow lines, in a contraflow cycle lane, and partly on the footway.
The end of the Burleigh Street contraflow cycle track currently under construction. The route to Water Row is via Pearce Street.
@helenpidd Howard Street in central Glasgow. A bike lane that goes against the flow of traffic. But it’s just a car park lane and taxi drop off. Yesterday there was more car than bike lane visible... If you ride it you’re forced into the … [more]
Can “security” vans stop where ever they like? This guy claims he can, while doing so he is blocking access to Gordon St counter-way cycle lane. @GlasgowCC @polscotrpu ?? https://t.co/EcNWYhbFIf
Painted cycle lanes don’t work, especially if the council just keeps turning a blind eye to those who abuse it. I tried to speak to the guy in the car and ask why he thought it was okay for him to park there, no response. @GoBikeGlasgow … [more]
Look, I know it's shit infrastructure, just a bit of paint, but there's multistorey and surface car parking within a couple of hundred metres. I have to cycle against the flow of motorised traffic because you're a selfish twat. Thanks. … [more]
I waited 4 sequences of Argyle st/ Jamaica st🚦- this remained red (having dodged a taxi who’d pulled in and parked on the cycle lane). We simply won’t shift people to cycling if even the limited infrastructure doesn’t work @GlasgowCC. Any … [more]
How am I supposed safely cycle up this street if cars are parked in the contraflow cycle lane, forcing me into on coming traffic? @GlasgowCC @AnnaLangside https://t.co/jcbx6GVDyv
Temporary northbound closure of the North Hanover Street contraflow bus lane in connection with building works at Queen Street station. The official diversion is via North Frederick Street.
Why people cycling don’t use the provided infrastructure #7639. Approached a taxi driver blocking this same section earlier. Pointed out the solid white. He shrugged. ‘I’m dropping someone off’. Glasgow. https://t.co/j4xUZ4yLuT
Useful contraflow link, minimal infrastructure though #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 Gordon Street https://t.co/4GgXsx3Mt1
Contraflow cycling on the road to Yorkhill Hospital. Not much room for passing other than vacant car parking spaces, but downhill for an easy restart.
A green strip has appeared at the new Blythswood St contraflow (foreground) and with-flow (background) cycle lane. Awaiting lining and signage.
Just a normal day on the Howard St contraflow cycle lane. Curiously, although "except cycles" signs have been provided on the traffic signals, there are no mandatory left turn signs.
Preparations have been made on Blythswood St for the contraflow cycle lane, but signage and lining has still to be done. On the near side of the junction dropped kerbs have been installed to allow cycling over the footway, unlike the far … [more]
The reality of what happens when someone wants to cycle along this one-way street the wrong way. See the correct way at #87038.
As every person on a bike knows, a piece of coloured surfacing may indicate a cycle facility, and this is the access to the shared use footway to bypass the No Entry, and thus provide a contraflow facility to this section of one-way street. … [more]
The blocks in the gutter have all shifted and now the rest of the road surface in the contraflow cycle lane is starting to deteriorate.
The end of the George V Bridge contraflow cycle track. The options here are turning left or right onto the Clyde Place cycleway, or left onto the Clyde Place carriageway, or perhaps U-turning.
I'm guessing that Jamaica Street will be resurfaced when the contraflow bus lane is abolished (and a new one is created in Midland Street). But in the meantime, some gas covers need attention, as does the dip at the stop line.
A new contraflow cycle lane on Cardonald Place Road ahead, but no exemption for cycles from the mandatory turn into Cardonald Gardens. In the distance, cars parked in the contraflow lane, just like in #71119.
The desire-line through here has been acknowledge with the contraflow cycle lane on Cleland Street, but Bedford Lane in the foreground is one-way without any contraflow facility.
The traffic signals on Candleriggs don't exempt cycles from their mandatory left and right turns, even though King Street ahead has a contraflow cycle lane. Location: Candleriggs, Glasgow (Scotland, United Kingdom)
@carsickglasgow @space4cycling back to normal in Glasgow. Torrisdale St cycle lane blocked. http://t.co/lv4vga3fbu
Flattened cycle parking stands in Stockwell Street, next to the contraflow bus lane. See #65108 taken two weeks earlier.
I can't think that these islands serve any practical purpose at all… too costly to remove? #GlasgowCycleInfraday t.co/3mKvKrX7I0

Sums it all up: Driver in car in cycle lane as 4 @CommunitySafetyGlasg officers stand chatting #GlasgowCycleInfraDay http://t.co/My07LMHYWR
Well meant but this cycle contraflow spits you out into oncoming traffic due to parking. #GlasgowCycleInfraDay http://t.co/BloXJqfKar
Incursion by design. Car parking on either side so there’s not enough room for bus and bike. #GlasgowCycleInfraDay http://t.co/4iONnavYo2
@GlasgowCC Thats great to hear! Shame us regular cyclists have to contend with your vans parked in bike lanes. http://t.co/bBWJfgakaF
So here's silver VW van SCO8 YTV parked in the bike lane on Howard St @policescotland @carsickglasgow http://t.co/LStuwSo581
The St Enoch Square bike hire terminal, next to the Howard Street contraflow lane, which still has a car parking problem.
Cycle lane in Glasgow. It's a contra flow on a one way. Have never managed to cycle it. Same every day. http://t.co/cgphIqYNtb
Contraflow cycle lane on one-way section of West Nile Street. This allows cyclists direct access from the north side of city centre through to Argyle Street, on a road parallel to the busy Renfield Street.
Contraflow cycle track on Elderslie Street, showing priority crossing of back lane, and in the distance, detector-activated cycle traffic signals at Sauchiehall Street junction.
Now that an Advance Stop Line has been provided at the end of the contraflow bus lane, a cycle lane approaching it would be most welcome to attempt to dissuade taxi drivers and others from hogging the kerb. (Update on #26410)
