The Doune Quadrant/Doune Gardens traffic filter is even harder to use with added roadworks and carefree parking.
Plenty of car parking spaces, but cycle parking hidden away on side streets. The rubber tactile matting is in a state of decay.
Although Glasgow City Council has declared that closing Kelvin Way to motor vehicles is to be permanent, none of the motoring infrastructure has been removed. The railings, kerbs, bollards, parking meters, and this toucan crossing all … [more]
While the painted markings tell people to cycle in the middle of the road exiting Kelvingrove Park, a railing blocks much of the width of the road ahead. However, the dead space on the other side of the railing has been used for cycle … [more]
Dalsholm Bridge has had its deck surface replaced by slippery, lumpy cobble stones, and if you fall off spiky railings have been fitted to the bridge's parapets.
The obstructive toucan crossing with kerbs and railings on one side still remains unmodified, and none of the other problems previously noted on the Bilsland Drive cycle lanes have been resolved either.
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.
Railing and triple barrier at the foot of path from Kendoon Avenue to Inchfad Drive, signed as cycle path.
Triple barrier at top of path from Kendoon Avenue to Inchfad Drive, before another railing at the kerbside.
Several of the entrances to Drumchapel Park have no dropped kerbs available to leave the carriageway, and also have railings hindering access. This is one of the shorter ones. The railing on the corner of Hecla Avenue makes it too difficult … [more]
The staggered toucan crossing on Castlebank Street at the end of the fancy bridge from Beith Street has a rather narrow central island, made worse by the railing have taken a bit of a battering.
The council has fenced off the former cycle off-slip from the Clyde Arc bridge at the NCN75 toucan crossing. This helped those making right turns by allowing cyclists to leave the carriageway and make the turn with the assistance of the … [more]
The lack of a connection from James Watt Street to the riverside NCN75 path and the Tradeston Bridge (visible background left) continues to make this a difficult place to cycle. A gap through the kerb and railing on the far side of the … [more]
No provision for cycling through the closure of Victoria Park Drive South at Westland Drive. A dropped kerb and toucan crossings at the junction signals would probably suffice.
No direct cycle access from Claddens Street and Claddens Place to Balmore Road, just access for pedestrians.
It would be useful for east-west journeys to have a proper connection between Hawthorn Street and Campsie Street (which leads to Wallacewell Road). But at present, the most direct connection is a gravel path between the footways of Atlas … [more]
The access from Kinnell Avenue to the next part of the Paisley to Glasgow Cycle Route basically doesn't exist.
The path has clearly been built to align with Bell's Bridge, but this alignment is nothing without a proper crossing. Instead, there's a staggered toucan crossing off to the right, as indicated by the sign. See also #93791 taken from the … [more]
The South City Way taking shape at the transition between two-way and one-way cycle tracks at the north end of Pollokshaws Road. I'm not convinced the layout will be used as the designer intended. Surprisingly, no use has been made of the … [more]
The pop-up cycle lane leads straight into a build-out for a toucan crossing. No ramp has been provided and the railings remain in place, unlike the other side.
A railing and kerb obstructing the end of an otherwise quite cycleable path providing links through the quiet street network.
Bikes parked outside Crossmyloof station. Perhaps this is easier than getting to the cycle parking on the Glasgow-bound platform. There is space here for stands.
Access between Elder Park and Drive Road hindered by a railing, yet signed (in tiny writing) for cycling.
The path between Rosshall Park and Cardonald Drive, on the original Glasgow-Paisley cycle route, is divided in two by a central railing for the section over the railway bridge, making it difficult to pass people coming the other way.
The path between Rosshall Park and Cardonald Drive on the original Glasgow-Paisley cycle route is not only narrow but is divided in two by a central railing, making it very difficult to pass anyone coming the other way. The sign has also … [more]
In addition to the obstructive railing and poorly positioned dropped kerb, the poorly placed signage has completely faded out.
When Drumry Road East was first closed off at the Great Western Road roundabout, the traffic order exempted cycles from the closure. But nothing was done to facilitate cycle access, and even now that there is a shared-use footway on the … [more]
Cycle parking outside the shops on Kinfauns Drive, although access is restricted from the road by railings.
Kinfauns Drive outside the Drumchapel Shopping Centre and Health Centre. Bike parking both sides but access restricted by extensive use of guard railings. The Drumchapel Way crosses the road here and the signs can just be seen.
The end of the widened footway and transition onto an on-road painted cycle lane along Alderman Road.
The Partick Bus Station rebuild continues, but at least there will be a direct route onto the carriageway at Merkland Street once it's finished. The stone bases for the bus shelters were apparently imported all the way from Portugal! A … [more]
One route sign has two poles and is pointing the right way, but one of the signs sharing lamppost is pointing the wrong way. Plus a rather messy path junction.
Route signs pointing in various directions, facing people coming from the Forth & Clyde Canal at Blairdardie. Wheelchair users appear to have been forgotten about in the signs pointing to the unnamed railway station (Drumchapel).
A major road crossing, with the direct route across the dual carriageway blocked by a barrier at the far side and no dropped kerb, and only a pedestrian crossing to the left to get across to the residential roads on the far side.
Linking the two halves of Crow Road for cycling would provide a local alternative to the hostile A739 dual carriageway, but motorists' needs appear to come first.
It appears that the roadway at Partick Bus Station is being fenced off and the first opportunity anyone cycling past the entrance to Partick station will have to access the roadway in Merkland Street will be at the crossing to the right … [more]
The Partick Bus Station rebuilding project continues. It looks as if the bus station roadway is being fenced and the crossing in the foreground of this photo will be the first point that cyclists coming past Partick station entrance can … [more]
I think the railings here are to keep the doorways free from blockage by car parking, rather than provide convenient cycle parking for the flats. Plenty of designated car spaces and garages, but still they are parked just anywhere.
The cycleway from the Clyde Tunnel has been blocked by a damaged guardrail. The CCTV coverage does not appear to have led to a speedy repair. The cube sign gives directions that are different from the green sign below it.
Building works at Partick Bus Station have meant that the point where cyclists join Merkland St carriageway has now been closed, and cyclists are forced to share a narrow footway already obstructed by (unrelated) scaffolding. However, … [more]
#GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 when you are jealous of the railings the school have and want some to help protect your bike lane. https://t.co/BmLaHleRD1
#GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 Striven Gardens, west end. Unique filtering. Also unique in that it isn't blocked by a parked car like normal. https://t.co/ZTSmnVoTHF
The north end of Brock Road has the same problem as the Brock Burn path, but is slightly nearer to the zebra crossing at the health centre.
The nearest proper pedestrian crossing to the end of the Brock Burn path is at the far side of the bus station, with continuous pedestrian guard railing all the way there.
The nearest end of the pedestrian guard railing is around the corner from the end of the Brock Burn path, where there is a traffic island crossing point.
The north end of the Brock Burn path is blocked by about 150m of continuous pedestrian guard rail. There needs to be a pedestrian crossing here to make it a viable route to the Silverburn Shopping Centre. See also #90961 and #90962.
I only found this on my second attempt at looking for it. "Glasgow's first community public bike pump", on Argyle Street in Sandyford. http://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/glasgows-first-public-bike-pump-13193687
A new toucan crossing on Beith Street for the new Lidl store, but needlessly difficult to get to from Anderson Street due to its position and all the clutter, including kerbs, in the way. Updated at #174566.
Uncontrolled pedestrian crossing next to the Forge Retail Park's service access (see #89948) and on the left the path through Bellgrove.
A barrier across end of path through Bellgrove. After a small break at a car park serving the flats here, this path continues right the way across to Bellgrove Street. There is an uncontrolled crossing a short distance to the right, and a … [more]
Barriers each side of the Clyde Gateway toucan crossing still present an obstacle to anyone using Baltic Street as a through route on a bike.
Lots of barriers outside Dalmarnock Station result in people cycling on the footway in order to get to the fancy path, such as is seen in #89937.
The Paisley Road protected cycletrack merges into a shared footway around the corner. The diagonal crossing is aligned for those going up and down West St, but has a signal facing anyone coming from Paisley Road, just in case someone wants … [more]
The Baltic Street alignment has been obstructed with railings both sides at the Clyde Gateway toucan crossing. This side doesn't even have a dropped kerb! See also #87992.
The way between Baltic St and the Clyde Gateway toucan crossing has been obstructed both sides with a railing. See also #87993.
No crossing to get to the riverside or NCN75 from James Watt St, and way blocked by a continuous railing. See also #173269. At the same time, Glasgow City Council is progressing with plans to implement a contraflow cycle facility in … [more]
@GlasgowCC Insufficient bike parking in #Shawlands - people shouldn't have to lock bikes to pedestrian barriers https://t.co/vsFWlASExI
Turning off of Golspie Street onto the Langlands Road cycle track. Narrow crossing. Location: Govan, Glasgow (Scotland, United Kingdom)
The Fastlink dedicated bus road will not permit cycling when it finally opens, so cyclists will be forced to mix with pedestrians on the NCN 75 riverside path or with motor vehicles on the adjacent road. NCN 756 crosses here on a 3-stage … [more]
Someone in Glasgow City Council keeps designing exceedingly poor cycle infrastructure such as this cramped caged traffic island on a split toucan crossing at the Clyde Arc bridge.
Partially fenced off subsidence on path constructed under Safer Routes to Schools programme. The newer fencing has been painted black. There is cracking in the asphalt most of the way down this path.
The Auldhouse Road exit from Greenbank Park is blocked by a railing and there is no dropped kerb, although the road closure opposite on Holeburn Road has a cycle gap. See #170066 for an updated image.
Needlessly narrow shared-use footway on Haggs Road at side road crossing. The pedestrian guard rails have all been covered with banners, meaning small children will be completely hidden from the view of drivers. The vertical bars in the … [more]
Abandoned bike frame, rusty cycle stand, fly-tipping and general decay bringing the area down, and deterring cyclists from using stands.
One of the measures done in Glasgow for the cycle racing. Railings removed and ramp down from kerb formed at exit from Kelvingrove Park. http://instagram.com/p/a6KcyiqBpl/ shows it in use.
Kissing gate and steps with awkward ramp at one side. I approached from the wrong side to use the ramp, and the central railing stopped me changing sides without backtracking. This is the Acre Drive entrance to Maryhill Park, and a … [more]
