| 142827 |  | There is a gap in cycle provision here between Aikenhead Rd and Gorbals St. Traffic can be very heavy and cars race from one red light to the next. I am an experienced cyclist and find this short stretch of road intimidating. Ideally a segregated cycle path would be good, but a shared pavement would possibly help | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 142816 |  | The pop-up cycle lane on Great Western Road is to end at Lincoln Avenue. After that, there are just discontinuous peak hour bus lanes. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 142815 |  | Roadworks for the installation of the Great Western Road cycle lane. The crossing between Keal Avenue and Kearn Avenue is still no better for cycling across (see #100425). | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 142814 |  | Roadworks for the installation of the Great Western Road cycle lane. The marking for the start of the cycle lane appear to be unusually long. The marking for the cycle lane itself is another unusual choice. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 142812 |  | Roadworks for the installation of the Great Western Road cycle lane. Here 'bus stop' markings have been removed, and the road marked out for the installation of a temporary bus boarder. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 142811 |  | Roadworks for the installation of the Great Western Road cycle lane. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 142808 |  | Roadworks for the installation of the Great Western Road cycle lane. There were a lot of cars parked inside the cones. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 142806 |  | Start of the roadworks for the installation of the Great Western Road cycle lane. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 142804 |  | Signage for the roadworks for the installation of the Great Western Road cycle lane, so no cycle lane on the sliproad then? | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 142801 |  | No provision for safe cycling on Duntreath Avenue. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 142800 |  | The ramp at Glendinning Road is still steep and poorly surfaced. There's plenty of room here for a decent ramp to be built. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 142561 |  | Glasgow cyclists, be very wary of the new cycle path at Mosspark Boulevard & Drumbrek Road, The removal of cones means cars are treating it as a left hand car lane. You could get hit by oncoming traffic t.co/HdESW6m0eK | Road environment: Problem road |
| 142270 |  | The cycle paths here are not fit for purpose. There are always cars parked in them, there needs to be stricter enforcement to prevent this. The cycle paths also need to be wider and to be resurfaced. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141551 |  | Shallow steps on a path connecting Collina Street with the Forth & Clyde Canal and Maryhill Road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 141550 |  | No dropped kerb at the start of a path connecting Collina Street near new housing development to the Forth & Clyde Canal and Maryhill Road. The path is in poor condition and has some shallow steps in it too. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 140505 |  | Better lighting for winter commute and safety. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140182 |  | Pavements on Dumbarton Road between Crow Road and Byres Road are not going to be wide enough for social distancing as increasing numbers of people come back to work: take back some of the street! | Track: Problem track |
| 140180 |  | Eastern pavement of Crow Road very narrow at this point, probably only 1 m wide for about 30 or 40 m, hemmed in by metal fence on the edge of the pavement and hedge on the right of the pavement | Track: Problem track |
| 139589 |  | Waterloo Street, at the end of the proper protected cycle lane, and the start of the divided footway with bumpy paving for the cycle side (see #95475). I notice from Google Streetview and OSM that there appears to be something similar going up Douglas Street too. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 139588 |  | The Hope Street contraflow cycle lane, part of the West City Way, and leading to the Waterloo Street protected cycle lane. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 139586 |  | The pop-up contraflow cycle lane in Gordon Street, outside Central Station. The temporary 'One Way' signs are incorrect. | Road environment: Event road |
| 139583 |  | 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 covered up. | General sign/notice: Event signs |
| 139582 |  | The junction of Renfield Street and Gordon Street, with the Union Street bus gate ahead, and the pop-up contraflow cycle lane on Gordon Street to the right. Proper 'No Right Turn except cycles' signs have been used on the traffic signals, whereas temporary 'No Entry' signs have been placed on the footways of Gordon Street. People on bikes enjoying the city centre in an unhurried manner. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 139580 |  | Advance signage for the Union Street bus gate, creating footway clutter where single pole cantilevered supports could have been used. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 139579 |  | Progress on the Garscube Road protected cycle lane. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 139577 |  | Construction of the Garscube Road protected cycle lane has recommenced. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 139536 |  | @MCRCycleSam @RantyHighwayman @CyclingSurgeon @theJeremyVine I guess we should also factor in that you’ll have double deckers coming straight at nearly on the line... 😶 t.co/6dNqsRA9eY [See also #139326] | Pothole: Problem potholes |
| 139345 |  | No cycle parking at shops in Kelvindale Road. I watched the owner of the bike in the foreground walk into the shop, and the owner of the bike across the road has just emerged from the shop. | Bicycle: Problem bicycles |
| 139343 |  | Kelvin Way closed to motor traffic to allow more room for walking and cycling. Nothing to say that the road closure is exempting cycles, but people seem to have got the message regardless. Unusually, one of the parking bays extends into the Advance Stop Line box. | Temporary closure: Event closure |
| 139342 |  | Nice motor-traffic free environment in rebuilt Argyle Street alignment in Anderston, but awkward to get into with a bike due to no dropped kerbs at either end. Outdoor bike parking has been provided at each entrance for residents. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 139341 |  | Nice motor-traffic free environment in rebuilt Argyle Street alignment in Anderston, but awkward to get into with a bike due to no dropped kerbs at either end. Outdoor bike parking has been provided at each entrance for residents. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 139340 |  | The counter at the Anderston Bridge appears to have been abandoned. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 139339 |  | 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 provided on Argyle Street, one of which has an 'except cyclists' plate below (instead of the more usual 'except cycles'). | General sign/notice: Event signs |
| 139337 |  | The pop-up contraflow cycle lane on Argyle Street at Central Station has been provided with temporary 'No Entry' signs on Argyle Street and proper 'No Right Turn except cycles' signs on the traffic signals on Union Street. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 139326 |  | 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! ☹️ t.co/dHxTevjhpx [See also #139536] | Pothole: Problem potholes |
| 139324 |  | 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. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 139322 |  | The contraflow cycle lane on Argyle Street has an abrupt change of direction, following the kerb. See also #139324. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 139312 |  | 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 opportunity to move out and avoid the bumps. The cycle parking is also damaged. The person riding through the layby had cycled on the footway. The cycle lane is also in the door-zone for the layby. | Pothole: Problem potholes |
| 136685 |  | This is a very narrow stretch of the Kelvin walkway and with Inn Deep now offering a take away service the narrow path is overly clogged making passing safely very very difficult. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 136493 |  | Popular walking and cycling route during lockdown. Currently used as rat run impacting safety of people distancing and cycling | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 134495 |  | This is a choke area, especially around the entrance and exit to the station. Also, novice cyclists are using this relatively narrow footpath, instead of using the road, even when safe to do so. The is an additional issue that whenever there's sustained rain, which is normal, this area floods, creating a gauntlet for any footpath users. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134298 |  | Close junction between Station Road & Drummore Road to reduce the amount of through-traffic on Station Road where there are very narrow pavements, and a significant increase in the number of pedestrians and cyclists accessing Colquhoun Park and playground. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 133481 |  | Hi @GlasgowCC any chance we can have some enforcement on the corkerhill road cycle path. @UrbanistTOC do you know any others I could tag in this? t.co/bnVPgmHFqj | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 133142 |  | Unclear priorities for buses and cyclists in bus lane merging with general lane. Narrow footpaths cannot be shared by pedestrians and cyclists. Unpleasant for pedestrians in any case as you have to walk very close to sometimes fast traffic. At commuting times a lot of cars race through unsafely fast if they perceive a gap. Easy win would be a 20mph local speed limit, maybe speed bumps, and clearer priorities for merging. In an ideal world where active travel was put first wider footpath and stepped cyclepaths in both directions on the correct sides of the road, with traffic light to control motor vehicle access turn-about. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133125 |  | The shared use footpath on the side of the road narrows at bus stops (the very place bus users quite naturally congregate!) making social distancing of pedestrians and cyclist impossible even if just passing, let alone if people waiting for a bus. And pre/post-Covid was /is a colision risk area and dirupts/slows the journeys of walkers, bus users of cyclists. The alternative Kelvin path is similarly not realistic for social distancing and in winter is unsafe as dark and isolated. Combined these factor forces cyclists onto the 50mph dual carriageway and strengthens the case for redesign of this significant length for accomodation of active travel in both East Dunbartonshire and Glasgow City Council areas. (On a personal note the sad cliche is that me a regular cyclist male will risk the 50mph road, but my more occasional cyclist wife never would in its current form). Between Canniesburn Toll and Marhyill station at least there is clearly enough room for wide footpaths, segreagated cycleways each on the correct side of the road and still a bus lane and a normal lane. Remove the unnecessarily high 40 & 50mph limits and replace them with 30mph and no central reservations. For drivers this should be an experience of driving in a city, not a bizaare short fast dual carriageway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133117 |  | Segregated cylecway on the Switchback Road between The Garscube Estate and Old Crow Road. There is nearly a safe-feeling north-south route for walking and cycling between Anniesland High St, Anniesland station, Morrisons etc to the south, and southern Bearsden and the Garscube Estate (which is an employment centre) to the north. However there is an unsafe and unpleasant piece in the middle for both walkers and cyclists of the A739. The footpath although wide is cambered towards the road, has a poor surface and traffic regularly speeds faster than the 30mph limit (more often than not going 40mph on the 30mph stretch and 50mph on the 40mph stretch). Cycling on this road or footpath does not feel safe. Neither does walking. This is a key missing link and an opportunity to reduce car use down the Switchback corridor to Anniesland cross. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 132841 |  | Close the road permanently please | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 131833 |  | Make junction safer for all users by widening pedestrian pavements and installing a cycle lane that would enable to get around this junction safely in all directions. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131816 |  | A cycle path along Maryhill road and continuing onto Garscube Road would be brilliant. There are a lot of cyclists that end up cycling on the road and not the canal due to high number of walkers on the canal. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131797 |  | All the way along Alexandra Parade and A8 the inside lanes are littered with large potholes due to bus and traffic use. This needs better maintenace | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131794 |  | This road is always prone to poor drainage and water runoff from adjacent land and is dangerous during winter months | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131511 |  | Cycle way needed | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131145 |  | The need for a ramp down to the cycleway as there are only steps here and requires a dismount whilst walking past other pedestrians. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131141 |  | Large strtetches of the cycleway/footpath from Glasgow to Kirkintilloch are very poor with potholes. This can be dangerous when trying to avoid when people are coming in opposite directions. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131128 |  | A cycle way on Dorchester Avenue would safely connect all the families living on the street or near by to the canal cycle path. It's such a busy road with loads of fast cars now that the road is a little less busy. Also the pavement is narrow and a lot of people have to walk on the road to keep social distancing. A shared cycle/walk way would be great! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130643 |  | A82 is wide enough for cycleway along its entire length to Bowling. This would encourage cyclists to commute safely and quickly to Glasgow | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130608 |  | Clearer road markings required for all traffic (cyclists, buses and cars) due to traffic flowing East from Maryhill Rd onto Garscube Rd or veering right to continue along Maryhill Rd. Difficult for any road user coming from inside lane wishing to veer right. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130442 |  | Impossible to use this pavement cycleway when pedestrians are present i.e. always | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130434 |  | This is a cycle route but often impossible to use as the path is narrow and people with prams/kids are there. The cycle path should be expanded or ideally re-routed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130432 |  | Eastbound here there is no protection for cyclists. If the pavement is supposed to be used it should be signed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130325 |  | Cycleways needed to provide better links to and from the east end and city centre. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130323 |  | Cycleways are stop and start and there needs to be more linking infrastructure. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130322 |  | The cycle path ends where Aikenhead Road meets Cathcart Road. This can be improved by extending the cycle path over the bridge across the M74 to join the cycle path on Pollokshaws Road at Cumberland Street. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130320 |  | This stretch of road is in poor condition in the bus lanes where cyclists travel. Improvements needed and designated space to link the east end with the city centre, schools and workplaces. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130318 |  | This section of cumbernauld road is busy with pedestrians and cars and cyclists need safe, segregated space to link the east end with the river/south and city centre. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130312 |  | Cycleways needed to connect east end commuters and residents to schools and Stobhill hospital, as well as bike access to and around springburn park. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130310 |  | Cycleways needed to connect east end commuters and residents to schools and Stobhill hospital. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130308 |  | Connecting cycleways needed from royston road up this direction towards Stobhill hospital and schools. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130307 |  | The whole of Royston road should have a cycleway and the surface of the road needs addressed. This could provide cycle commuting access to Stobhill hospital. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130302 |  | Cycleways are needed here to connect commuters from the east end to Springburn and Stobhill hospital. The roads are busy and no clear markings, even when there is an apparant cycle lane. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130298 |  | Alexandra parade offers a quick route from Dennistoun to the city centre, but separately marked cycleways are needed. This is a busy main road and not safe in it's current state for bikes. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130294 |  | The whole section of Cumbernauld road from the junction with Edinburgh road until it becomes Alexandra parade needs a cycleway to allow better bike access to and from Alexandra park, the Royal infirmary, city centre and residential areas. The road surface in the bus lanes is very poor and dangerous for cycling. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130291 |  | The road surface is terrible all the way up and down this stretch of Cumbernauld road, from Edinburgh road to Hogganfield loch. Near Hogganfield there is a marked cycle way, but the road surface is dangerous for bikes and markings unclear. The more southerly stretch needs a cycleway marked out. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130269 |  | It would be brilliant to have a cycle path from Trongate, up through the centre to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary to enable staff, visitors and patients better access to the hospital. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130264 |  | Some properly segregated cycle lanes along GWR. Been close passed so many times along here. Would be great to encourage people from the west to ride to the west and and the city centre. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130255 |  | Byres road needs to be clsoed to all traffic bar deliveries at set times. This is long overdue and the pavements are too crowded to adaquately socially distance | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 130251 |  | The cars oparked here are niot residents and the raod is very wide. Remove parked cars from at leastr one side and rediesign teh road to accomodate a cycle path. This should also be extended past the row of shops of QM drive as it is an unsafe part of the road for cyclists | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130246 |  | Visibility here is very poor - blind corner going under bridge. Makes distancing difficult if bikes or runners are coming through, as can't see them until it's too late. Have had a couple of collisions here. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130238 |  | Visibility when approaching towpath here from the south is overgrown - we can't see if cyclists are coming from left or right on towpath. Please improve the visibility. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130222 |  | Surface on the canal towpath is really bad for cyclists here. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130214 |  | The road here is very dangerous for cyclists, especially southbound. There are bad potholes on the inside edge of the road, and weight of traffic makes swerving to avoid them very dangerous. Alternative route for cyclists heading south adds a few km (via Auchinhowie Rd and Milngavie). | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130178 |  | No link between the Sauchiehall Street cycleway and into the West End along Woodlands Road. It could do with a dedicated cycling path. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 129354 |  | All of Great Western Rod urgently needs a fully protected cycle route, cars must be secondary | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 129126 |  | Extremely busy junction unsafe for cycling, very narrow pavements on either side of the road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128704 |  | @GetGlesgaMoving @GlasgowCC @GoBikeGlasgow @policescotland Hope McDonald's being charged lane rental??! @CBTransport Where is alternative bus stop situated?? If there's room for a dedicated lane for Macdonald's drive thru, there's room for a cycle lane! t.co/Q7kWSYohUH | Road environment: Event road |
| 127951 |  | If Langdale St was closed to motor traffic at Royston Rd, through traffic would be diverted along more suitable through roads like Provanmill Rd, leaving Langdale St as a quieter environment rather than a rat run. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 127665 |  | Cycleway installed to assist children/families to cycle to new school | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 126553 |  | Would like it to be accessible by pram. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 125971 |  | Bilsland Drive should have a dedicated cycle lane either side of the road travelling north and south. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 125970 |  | Bilsland Drive should have a dedicated cycle lane either side of the road travelling north and south. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 125619 |  | Very large pothole that needs urgent repair. It has already caused a cyclist to crash, lose consciousness and their 2 front teeth | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 125051 |  | Wide road but narrow pavement and busy pavement area near Linn Park gates and the buss stop. | Track: Problem track |
| 124368 |  | Shared path along the Clyde is too narrow for social distancing, alternative cycle route here would help with key route into town. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 123269 |  | Wider pavements needed - adjacent parking spaces available to reclaim | Track: Problem track |
| 123264 |  | Cycle provision needed | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 120954 |  | City centre closure to allow social distancing and shared cycling space free from cars | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 119913 |  | If only there was some space for cycling on Queen Margaret Drive. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 119907 |  | The popup closure of Kelvin Way to motor traffic has created space for walking and cycling. | Temporary closure: Event closure |
| 119906 |  | The popup closure of Kelvin Way to motor traffic has created space for walking and cycling. | Temporary closure: Event closure |
| 119901 |  | The popup closure to motor traffic of Kelvin Way has created space for walking and cycling, since Kelvingrove Park has been very busy. It is usually solid with parked cars and motor traffic passing through. | Temporary closure: Event closure |
