| 107281 |  | Obstructive pavement parking on the shared-use footway on Dalsholm Road between the Garscube Estate path and the Kelvin Walkway, forcing riders onto the crumbling carriageway. There is a free car park at the top of the hill in the background. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 107267 |  | A gate across Monymusk Place, on the Drumchapel Way and Garscadden Way. The Garscadden Wood path starts on the right a short distance beyond the gate. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107266 |  | Signage for an on-road section of the Garscadden Way on Lillyburn Place. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107265 |  | Signage for the Drumchapel Way, and above it, what appears to be the last remaining directional signage for the Garscadden Way. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107264 |  | The Cleddans Burn path, part of the Garscadden Way and Drumchapel Way, approaches Achamore Road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107263 |  | A scenic section of the Drumchapel Way and Garscadden Way, on the Cleddans Burn path. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107262 |  | An information board for the Cleddans Burn path, part of the Garscadden Way and Drumchapel Way. | Route sign: Good practice routesigns |
| 107261 |  | A poor quality surface at the start of the Cleddans Burn path, part of the Garscadden Way cycle route and Drumchapel Way walking route. The footway on the Goals access road swaps from the north to the south side at this point. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107260 |  | A poor end to the footway from The Antonine Road at the Goals access road, part of the Drumchapel Way signed walking route. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 107259 |  | The Drumchapel Way on The Antonine Road. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107258 |  | The Drumchapel Way meets The Antonine Road. Glasgow City Council's GIS system shows a path (called Drumry Wood) across the site across the road, even though it is securely fenced off. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107257 |  | The Drumchapel Way leaves Halgreen Avenue and takes the steps up to The Antonine Road. There is a bypass ramp, but no dropped kerb at the end for anyone following the route by bike. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107256 |  | Signage for the Drumchapel Way on Halgreen Avenue. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107255 |  | A poor quality shared-use footway on Halgreen Avenue. The other side of the road doesn't even have a footway, even though it is outside a school! | Road environment: Problem road |
| 107254 |  | There were no signs for the Drumchapel Way at the junctions at either end of Hecla Avenue, only this one midway along the street. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 107253 |  | Cycle parking outside the shops on Kinfauns Drive, although access is restricted from the road by railings. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 107252 |  | 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. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 107209 |  | Cycle parking at Milton Library and leisure centre, all up against a kerb. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 107173 |  | Some steps on the Drumchapel Way, with a by-pass ramp, approaching Kinfauns Drive. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 107172 |  | The Drumchapel Way marker post and information board for those coming from Kinfauns Drive. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107171 |  | Poor condition asphalt path and damaged marker post on the Drumchapel Way. | Track: Problem track |
| 107170 |  | Next the Drumchapel Way goes up some shallow steps as it starts to head towards Kinfauns Drive. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107169 |  | The Drumchapel Way continues down some very shallow steps to a bridge across the Garscadden Burn. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107168 |  | A close-up of the marker post that is not for the Drumchapel Way (from #107167). Leg-it around Drumchapel. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107167 |  | Three marker posts, but only two are for the Drumchapel Way, so turn right. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107166 |  | The Drumchapel Way continues. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 107165 |  | The optimist in me wants to believe that this section of the Drumchapel Way path is currently being upgraded. | Track: Problem track |
| 107164 |  | Navigation on the off-road sections of the Drumchapel Way is by marker post. Here the posts indicate a turn to the right. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107163 |  | Information about Garscadden Burn Park and the Drumchapel Way. | Destination: Infrastructure destinations |
| 107162 |  | The Drumchapel Way leaves Southdeen Avenue and doubles back into the Garscadden Burn Park. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 107161 |  | On-road sections of the Drumchapel Way are indicated by small circular signs attached to lampposts. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107160 |  | The Drumchapel Way turns left to join with the Garscadden Way. The Drumchapel Way is a walking route around Drumchapel and the surrounding woodland described at https://forestryandland.gov.scot/images/pdf/rec_pdfs/DrumchapelWoodsLeaflet.pdf | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107159 |  | The winter has taken its toll on the Garscadden Way. This is listed as an official cycle route in the council's GIS system at glasgowgis.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 107158 |  | The path across to the Garscadden Way blocked by fallen branches, but will anyone notice there's a path to be blocked? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107122 |  | Genuine question @GlasgowCC : wait for what? @GoBikeGlasgow Clyde Place under the rail bridge. Signs in both directions near entrance to land under bridge which has something going on. Should they actually say 'Caution: works access' or something? t.co/5b4mOBqtOv | General sign/notice: Event signs |
| 107117 |  | Commercial van parking in the painted cycle lane on Port Dundas Road. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 107053 |  | The end of the widened footway and transition onto an on-road painted cycle lane along Alderman Road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107052 |  | Probably the start of the cycleway alluded to in #107051. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107051 |  | Line segregation, apparently. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 107039 |  | 2/4 Others have discussed the left hook risk to cyclists at the Devon St junction @GoBikeGlasgow eg t.co/hsiql8duc7. Today I was nearly left-hooked by a council vehicle overtaking and turning in front of me into Torrisdale St. The driver was not apologetic. I was shaken. t.co/ROZ9Z6S7n4 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 107038 |  | I've never worked out if these strips are badly installed drainage (for the boggy grass to the right), or anti-cycling rumble strips. A swimming contest can be seen in the background. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107037 |  | There is an unmarked speed hump either side of the Cleveden Road bridge on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, which are quite hard to spot if you don't know they are there. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107036 |  | A connection between Netherton Road and the Forth & Clyde Canal, with damaged sign, mud, and a chicane barrier. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107035 |  | I'm sure a better entrance to this path could be built at Knightscliffe Avenue. The plot to the left was only recently rebuilt. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 107034 |  | The start of the Lincoln Avenue cycle track, seen from the opposite direction to #101264. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107033 |  | The Cycle Quietway through Knightswood links the Orca cycle routes on Dyke Road and Lincoln Avenue without going along Alderman Road. The entrance to the Lincoln Avenue cycle track is rather cluttered and the cycle track itself can barely be seen from this position. Yet you are expected to know where to turn. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107032 |  | Signage for the Cycle Quietway through Knightswood on Loanfoot Avenue, but it's shorter, quicker and on roads just as quiet to head to the Forth & Clyde Canal along Loanfoot Avenue in the opposite direction. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107031 |  | Signage for the Cycle Quietway through Knightswood at Riglaw Place, but it's shorter, quicker and also just as quiet to get to the Forth & Clyde Canal via Commore Drive to the left. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107030 |  | 'Recommended route for cyclists' signage for the old signed route between Kelso Street and Garscadden railway station. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107029 |  | A Cycle Quietway has been signed through Knightswood, but doesn't use the newly widened and converted shared-use footway on Dyke Road. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107028 |  | Signage for the Cycle Quietway through Knightswood, at the junction of Kirkton Avenue and Holehouse Drive, with another sign pointing to Garscadden railway station in the background. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107027 |  | A route sign for the Cycle Quietway through Knightswood on Kirkton Avenue. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107026 |  | 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 kerb and the strip, making the strip utterly redundant. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107025 |  | 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. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 106908 |  | Absolutely perfect timing. @GoBikeGlasgow @UofGsustain @PeopleByresRoad #paintIsNotProtection t.co/LENi1rbIkA | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 106907 |  | 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 @GlasgowCC t.co/VXJLhkPMko | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 106558 |  | People could make Glasgow tidier! | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 106309 |  | The abandoned bike still blocking part of the Maryhill Tesco cycle parking stand, leaving little space for intending customers. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 105994 |  | @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 regularly knows the current situation is a joke for cycling. t.co/e44AFj2eS3 | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 105993 |  | Paint is not protection @PeopleByresRoad @UofGsustain t.co/BF102sqsik | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 105177 |  | It is days like today that highlight how car centric Glasgow is. Almost 50% of Glaswegians don't have access to a private car. While the roads were ice free, the paths were like ice rinks. #activetravel #travelpoverty t.co/vhkNFMcgcp | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 104682 |  | @RoyalMail when will you instruct your drivers that bike lanes and especially fully segregated ones are not for parking, especially when options are available? South West City Way segregated lane in Glasgow @GlasgowCC t.co/MZYDmZ8WeA | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 104680 |  | This type of infra is excellent but will be wasted money unless protective measures are included too. @GlasgowCC @collin_little @GoBikeGlasgow t.co/QRSaqPbHhQ | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 104052 |  | Hooray, the filtered access on Scotland St West at Lambhill St, G41, has been installed! Thank you @GlasgowCC 👏👏👏 | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 103927 |  | 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. t.co/MqDNYqW1kS | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 103731 |  | Glasgow's joined up infra as it transitions from segregated to 'shared with pedestrians'. A pole and a parked van. Nice. t.co/I1zYIvWeLB | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 103672 |  | 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 thoughts @AnnaLangside @GoBikeGlasgow? t.co/88IaVUyBDt [Cycle signals now sensor triggered, when they didn't used to be and just went when the lights changed for the opposite direction] | Road environment: Problem road |
| 103519 |  | They're still at it @AnnaLangside @GoBikeGlasgow @GlasgowCC Really think the segregation needs to be more substantial t.co/08xkctm49Z | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 103495 |  | 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 t.co/jcbx6GVDyv | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 103460 |  | Superb example of inappropriate pavement parking and encroachment onto a roundabout from the ever inconsiderate @ArnoldClark @ACHelpTeam It’s no wonder the concrete is sinking. @BadParkersUK t.co/TFDuYXL0qv | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 103372 |  | I'm not sure what the barriers here are meant to achieve, or why they are blocking the flagship cycleway on Waterloo Street. | Roadworks: Problem roadworks |
| 103362 |  | Cycling home with Flora along Pollokshaws Road. Traffic management for the shared path resurfacing better cycle provision than path itself! Buy hey, 6 lanes for motors obviously essential t.co/Whhbubr5SC | Roadworks: Infrastructure roadworks |
| 103136 |  | Exciting to spot Sauchiehall Street's new 'avenue' taking shape in Glasgow. 👀 🎉 🚶♀️🚲🌳🚌🚙 🚶♀️ Just couldn't help noticing the state of what appears to be the final cycle surface, in contrast to the new mirror-smooth machine laid carriageway. #judderJudder t.co/ez3DIB5LcB | Roadworks: Infrastructure roadworks |
| 103036 |  | @GoBikeGlasgow constant parking in front of the cycle path at bottom of Corrour Road in Newlands. Happening everyday. Double yellow lines and cycle path paint worn away t.co/ubCvvYCEfB | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 103035 |  | @magnatom @GlasgowCC @AnnaLangside @GoBikeGlasgow We took this photo & plan to write to council. Why not 'please take care through roadworks and show respect to workers & fellow road users'? Feel free to use photo if you like. t.co/tJH3AFvSBd | Roadworks: Problem roadworks |
| 102730 |  | Obstructive parking in Craigton Road, next to a partially empty ASDA car park. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 102680 |  | @TrothBen @CycleInfraDay @Fenmonkey @bencooper Here is my trike on the bridge. Not much room for anyone coming the other way. t.co/19Afh1W4Gc | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 102314 |  | Entitled driver's reaction to #carfreeday t.co/E6vXC6RfX1 | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 102105 |  | I was surprised to see this sign at the newly rebuilt Partick Bus Station. The pedestrian crossing around the corner has been removed. Non-bus traffic has to use this lane past Partick Bus Station, but a left turn is required to get to the cycle route access. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 102104 |  | A mention of the cycle route and bike parking on the new totem pole outside Partick Interchange, but no mention of the hire bikes. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 102103 |  | A solitary sign outside the chip shop declares that the footway on this section of James Street is shared-use. Leads to #33490. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 102102 |  | Precisely no-one ends their journey here, so why does the cycle lane end here? | Road environment: Problem road |
| 102101 |  | 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. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 102100 |  | According to Network Rail, the railway bridge on Muirhead Road has been "rebuilt stronger and wider to enable two-way traffic, cycle route and pedestrian footpath". I don't see a cycle route. www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/network-rail-open-gbp-4m-baillieston-railway-bridge-two-weeks-early See also #102099. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 102099 |  | According to Network Rail, the railway bridge on Muirhead Road has been "rebuilt stronger and wider to enable two-way traffic, cycle route and pedestrian footpath". I don't see a cycle route. www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/network-rail-open-gbp-4m-baillieston-railway-bridge-two-weeks-early If they mean a shared-use footway, they could at least have made the footway wider. There's nothing behind that rebuilt wall. See also #102100. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 102098 |  | A new path has been provided around house-building works, but has been blocked by fallen security fences. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 102059 |  | The rebuilt Polmadie Bridge is now open. See also #102058. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 102058 |  | The rebuilt Polmadie Bridge is now open. See also #102059. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 101441 |  | Maryhill Tesco cycle parking regularly full up, unlike the massive car park which always has lots of free spaces. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 101440 |  | 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 small notice directs NextBike users to the new docking station location. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 101437 |  | Who would possibly want to lock a bike outside a bookmaker's? | Bicycle: Problem bicycles |
| 101436 |  | No bicycle parking at the Thornwood Roundabout and absolutely no room for any either! | Bicycle: Problem bicycles |
| 101434 |  | A very old blue-bordered cycle route sign on Broomhill Drive. There are no further signs on this route because it is the last in a series of signs for various destinations around the Clydeside Expressway's Clyde Tunnel junction, including at #36113, where the cycling directions differ from the ones for drivers, although most of the signs have been replaced by more modern signs. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 101433 |  | New and old route signs at Broomhill Drive. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 101432 |  | A shared footway in Victoria Park Drive South, and signage for local destinations. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 101430 |  | A shared footway in quiet Glendore Street, and I think the raised crossing in Medwyn Street in the foreground could be better aligned with the footway. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 101428 |  | Roadworks blocking most of the shared footway on Smith Street, but no dropped kerb to join the carriageway of this quiet street. No provision for left turns into Northinch Street either. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 101427 |  | The Loch Lomond railway path used to carry on here, but now flats block the route as well as the expanded car showroom that initially took over some of the land. NCN7 continues along the footway across South Street to the right. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 101426 |  | Different styles of sign on the Primrose Street off-ramp from the Loch Lomond railway path. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 101425 |  | The Balmoral Street off-ramp from the Loch Lomond railway path. The first time I've seen a postal district on a cycle route sign. | Route sign: Good practice routesigns |
