The reason the Benalder Street cycle ends here at Castle Street appears to be that the route to Byres Road is via Castle Street and Partick Bridge Street (to the left). Are cyclists expected to disobey the 'keep right' traffic sign? And … [more]
The street environment in Partick Bridge Street, looking towards Partick Cross. The cycle route from Ferry Road to Byres Road would appear to be coming around here.
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 Levern Walkway starts at the gap in the wall on the left, just beyond the bridge. Some signposting would be useful.
Entrance gateway to Pollok Country Park. Protected space for pedestrians on the left, and parking and no parking signage on the right.
The finished product at the Clyde Street/Glasgow Bridge junction. Motor traffic is restricted to a single lane, and is signalled separately from the cycle traffic, removing the left hook danger. See also #194239.
Right turn or not? An unusual arrangement of the central reservation having a dropped kerb across the junction, rather than a gap, but nothing to say the turn is prohibited. A right turn for cycles at this junction would be advantageous for … [more]
One of a number of pedestrian crossings on Thornliebank Road that have Advance Stop Lines for Cycles.
The Albert Drive cycle lane remains much as before, including in the door-zone past the car parking bays. The traffic island over the railway bridge is more recent.
The narrow off-side cycle lane on the Nithsdale Road railway bridge has been reinstated like-for-like now that the bridge itself has been replaced. The 'No Right Turn' sign still does not except cycles. The cycle lane allows cyclists to … [more]
Stepped ramp at Charing Cross, Glasgow See also #144003 which describes small asphalt ramps, which I did not notice.
There's a sort of route between the bridge on the left and the path on the right here on Renfrew Street. The area is known as Charing Cross. The bridge has three small steps at the far end, so it is not a cycle route.
The lanes between the main roads are really just service roads for the buildings with lots of blockages.
A surface dressing has been applied to the now closed to motor traffic George Square East, outside the City Chambers.
Anyone not turning left must leave the protected cycle lane and use the anonymous advance stop line.
The double yellow lines continue across the advisory pedestrian crossings and into the Restricted Parking Zone where double yellow lines are not meant to go. There are no markings or signs to say that the parking extending into the distance … [more]
North Canal Bank Street back open to traffic, and there's plenty of it. The tactile paving on the cycle track is still incorrect.
Another view of the 'Give Way' line in #182981. Note the pedestrian using the diagonal cycle crossing.
The Advance Stop Line at Hopehill Road had been installed in such an advanced position, it was beyond the traffic signal!
While the two crossings on Maryhill Road are pedestrian crossings, the crossing on the Hopehill Road side of the junction is a toucan crossing.
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]
University Avenue at the western limit of its reworking. Note the centre line is less restrictive than the lane lines.
The start of the Ferry Road cycleway, leading to the Old Dumbarton Road and Benalder Street cycleways. The sharrows point cyclists along the main carriageway and not onto the cycleway.
The Bunhouse Road cycleway crosses Old Dumbarton Road without priority, and illegal parking restricts visibility.
The Bunhouse Road cycleway priority crossing as seen from the car park. Restricted visibility, tiny Give Way markings and an offside information sign.
The cycle lanes on London Road stop short of each junction, and in this case. motor traffic is instructed to use the inside lane for continuing straight ahead.
The cycle lanes on London Road outside Celtic Park have had their armadillos removed and the markings replaced by ribbed markings, following Police intervention.
The cycle signals at the Argyle Street crossing have been partly uncovered. The tactile paving on this side of the pedestrian crossing has been removed, as have the bollards.
Back to business as usual with the traffic racing round the Benalder Street/Old Dumbarton Road junction.
The dropped kerb at the end of Ferry Road is now clear from obstructions (see #173875), but the footway surface is still incomplete.
The cycle off-slip at Finnieston Street allows cyclists to legally leave the carriageway and use the toucan crossing across Lancefield Quay to get to the National Cycle Network route 75, even when the traffic signals are on red. The similar … [more]
The one remaining cycle off-slip at the Finnieston Street/Clyde Arc junction. The one at #173654 has been blocked off with a railing.
Freshly painted Advance Stop Lines at Anderston Cross, but none at the second stop lines under the motorway bridge.
An improvement on #89968 at the end of Anderson Street. A dropped kerb has also been provided to access the road directly. There is a toucan crossing just off to the right as well.
The odd narrow footway arrangement under the Castlebank Street railway bridge approaching NCN7. There is a dropped kerb to join the path immediately after the bridge (see #173856), while the rest of the road is just a dead-end alongside … [more]
This section of street, which appears to be referred to as Beith Way in the COP26 diversion consultation, turns into B808 Beith Street, although the footway continues straight ahead alongside the wall.
The footway of Castlebank Street has been marked as a cycle route in OpenStreetMap, but there is no evidence to say so on the ground. However, it is a gap in the network, more direct and smoother in surface than the parallel NCN7 route, … [more]
I don't know what the purpose of that bar attached to the underside of the bridge is, but there's a bit missing now. I'm sure the edge of the NCN7 cycle path next to the Clydeside Expressway was straight when it was installed, but is now … [more]
The area under the M8 motorway at Anderston Cross is being painted fancy colours a couple of months before the COP26 conference hits town. The area outside the station frequently resembles a car park.
The area under the M8 motorway at Anderston Cross is being painted fancy colours a couple of months before the COP26 conference hits town.
The area under the M8 motorway at Anderston Cross is being painted fancy colours a couple of months before the COP26 conference hits town.
The area underneath the M8 motorway at Anderston Cross is being painted a couple of months before the COP26 conference hits town. The Anderston Bridge, Stobcross Bridge, and various roads are proposed to be closed during the conference, and … [more]
The original layout of the cycle lane in Alderman Road, including what appears to be an item of traffic calming that drivers may or may not be expected to drive around. This layout did not last. [Scanned image from late 1990s.]
I noticed this dropped kerb at the Advance Stop Line box and investigated whether it was installed to aid cycling from St George's Road to the toucan crossing chain through the junction, but no, it was left over from a pedestrian crossing … [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.
A widened and protected cycle lane, compared to what was there previously, although still gaps in the protection at the pedestrian crossing.
Cycling By Design shows that the correct line to use for breaks in a mandatory cycle lanes passing junctions is a warning line (diagram 1004), not a short broken line.
The partly protected cycle lane in Provanmill Road is slightly wider than the advisory cycle lane it replaced. The pedestrian crossing is not working.
No right turns from Dumbreck Road into Paisley Road West, just like the opposite side of the junction at #170596.
The cycle route leaves the footway and cyclists can start cycling on the carriageway. A dropped kerb has been provided next to the one remaining railing (there used to be two).
Toucan crossing across Mosspark Boulevard to reach the Dumbreck Road shared footway route across the railway and motorway bridge, heading towards Pollok Country Park. If coming from the west, the grass separates the shared path from the … [more]
A dropped kerb and diagonal path over to the cycle path alongside Bellahouston Park. It's completely unsigned and unmarked, but it can only be for someone cycling on Mosspark Boulevard wanting to leave the carriageway to use the toucan … [more]
No right turns from Broomloan Road onto Paisley Road West, principally to keep the car traffic moving faster.
Start of the faded door-zone cycle lane in Maxwell Drive. The cycle lane in the opposite direction has already expired by this point.
A former railway bridge in Carmichael Street that Highways England has proposed for filling in. This one is probably no loss since the area either side has been developed and the railway cutting filled in.
The Hinshaw Street cycleway at the Maltbarns Street junction. It is not clear what the priorities at the junction might be, but in practice traffic volumes are generally low.
The sign permitting cycling in the Fastlink busway has gone, and there is a sign directing cyclists to the shared path along the riverside. However, the crudely altered "Bus and cycle only" road markings remain.
Cycling in the cycle lane on Gorbals Street. The taxi driver driving behind the bus then barged through this group of four cyclists to park in the layby. The permanent cycle provision for this road can't come soon enough!
The start of the Garscube Road cycleway, seen coming from the Queens Cross direction. Next time I'll try going between the first and second bollards rather than the second and third which was quite tight.
The cyclist avoids the pavement cycle lane that the driver up ahead is in the process of parking in.
A dropped kerb, possibly to allow cycling through the road closure in Dalziel Drive at St Andrew's Drive.The dropped kerb on the other side is to the right of the bin.
A humped zebra crossing in Shawbridge Street, this time with Belisha beacons, and also Cyclists Dismount signs.
A parallel cycle zebra crossing across Kennishead Road, for the shared-use cycle route along Barrhead Road.
A split toucan crossing across the Fastlink busway and the main Broomielaw carriageway, connecting the riverside path and Brown Street.
