Toucan crossing on North Canal Bank Street, connecting the cycleway to the bascule bridge over the canal.

A filter lane removed and replaced by a protected cycle lane, on Provanmill Road at Royston Road.

The Cumbernauld Road cycle lane, now protected with armadillos.

The start of the protected section of cycle lane on Cumbernauld Road. However, the motorists have decided to park in the bus layby instead.

The cycle lanes on Wallacewell Road are now equipped with armadillos right along the length of the road. The traffic islands appear to be marked up for adjustments to make the cycle lane wider past the islands.

An advance green has been provided for cycling into the protected cycle route straight ahead on Cambridge Street.
