The Maryhill Road crossing on North Woodside Road has now been completed. Corduroy tactile paving has again been used erroneously in place of the wider gap Cycleway type. Left and right turns have been banned with the Ahead Only sign.
The finished replacement crossing on North Woodside Road at Maryhill Road. Note the Ahead Only sign on the traffic signal.
Filtered permeability for pedestrians only. This road closure was temporarily removed during the COP26 conference (due to road closures elsewhere) but has been reinstated without including cycle access.
[Image taken 30.4.22] Wilberforce Avenue, from Crichton Avenue, York. The entrance to the (signed) home zone. And one of the speed humps that are disconcerting and painful on a cycle. Other images Wilberforce Avenue: #182103 and links. Oth ... [more]
[Image taken 26.4.22] Wilberforce Avenue, junction with Horner Street, York. Context and links: #181783.
[Image taken 26.4.22] Wilberforce Avenue, junction with Horner Street, York. This is a lot of bollards. And none spaced to meet current standards - 150cm - ie to make the route permeable to active travel modes (cycling, walking, wheelchairi ... [more]
[Image taken 26.4.22] Wilberforce Avenue, junction with Horner Street, York. The prefab that was obstructing the use of this filtered permeability route for cycles-peds-scooters-wheelchairs has been removed. Context: #181783. The bollards ... [more]
Filtered permeability for pedestrians only, with barriers and a lack of a conveniently sited dropped kerb on the other side impeding cycling. Not a major desire line, but I came this way due to roadworks on the main road.
[Image taken 17.4.22] Wilberforce Avenue, junction with Horner Street, York. No chance of anyone on a cycle, on foot, in a mobility scooter/wheelchair getting through this gap... Which is who filtered permeability is intended to support. Ot ... [more]
[Image taken 17.4.22] Wilberforce Avenue, junction with Horner Street, York. Other images this issue today: #181783, context and links.
[Image taken 17.4.22] Wilberforce Avenue, junction with Horner Street, York. The gap between the bollards does not meet current standards - 1.5m. The works prefab compounds the issue - and on a street that is signed as a home zone - from th ... [more]
[Image taken 17.4.22] [Image taken 17.4.22] Wilberforce Avenue, junction with Horner Street, York. Insufficient room for anyone to cycle, scoot or wheelchair through here. Obscured sightlines. Other images this issue today: #181783 and link ... [more]
[UPDATE: Image from 26.4.22 #182103] [UPDATE: 20.4.22 An email from CYC says: "Thank you for your email. We weren’t aware of the locating of this unit on the highway, however, we have now begun enquiries into who has responsibility for it ... [more]
Construction of the rebuilt modal filter at North Woodside Road is nearly complete. The road and pedestrian traffic signals have been brought into use, but the cycle signals are still bagged up.
[Image taken on 9.4.22] St Andrewgate, York. The driver of this vehicle is obstructing the filtered permeability. The bollards may seem like a dead end to motorists but they are there for a reason: because the road is open, just not to moto ... [more]
[Image taken on 9.4.22] St Andrewgate, York. Two vehicles either side of the filtered permeability bollards. (One visible in the far right of the image illustrating some of the Aldwark diversion and issues: #181627.) There were blue badges ... [more]
[Image taken on 9.4.22] Aldwark, York. The road closed sign further narrows a route that is already restricted widthwise. The road ahead closed sign must be aimed at emergency vehicles because Aldwark has filtered permeability bollards at i ... [more]
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.
The route sign says "Primary School" but the dropped kerb at the junction is of poor quality, with no obvious dropped kerb on the other side of the road closure in Dowanhill Street. The Colleges Route cycle lane has been made narrower an ... [more]
[Image taken 9.11.21]. Spen Lane, junction with St Andrewgate, York. This sign clearly shows the direction for people on the diversion from #175681 and trying to reach: #175680. But there’s a junction (with St Saviourgate) and a dogleg be ... [more]
[UPDATE: Aldwark is open again.] [Image taken 9.11.21]. St Andrewgate junction with Aldwark, York. The permeable junction (filtered permeability via bollards for people on cycles, foot, wheelchairs) is closed for works. There's no evidence ... [more]
[Image taken 29.10.21] St Andrewgate, York at the filtered permeability junction with Aldwark. What that ghost sign should say: #175212. Other images this issue today: #175352, #175353. Other images today: #175350 and link.
Image taken 29.10.21] Aldwark junction looking towards the filtered permeability junction with St Andrewgate, York. The image shows how popular this link is. In the background right is the second of the ghost signs here today. Other images ... [more]
The closure at the eastern end of Overnewton Street does not provide for through cycling, the cycle parking stands are past their best, and the driver on Haugh Road has no respect for the road markings.
[Image taken 6.10.21] Aldwark, junction with St Andrewgate, York. The gap on the right nearly meets the minimum standard of 150cm. The others don't. This is a critical piece of the permeable infra around York. In September 2021, I did an on ... [more]
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.
[UPDATE: Measurements between the bollards see: #174635] [Image taken: 1.10.21] Aldwark, junction with St Andrewgate, York. Disappointing that someone displaying a blue badge parks so close to a junction with filtered permeability. Compare ... [more]
[Image taken 29.9.21] Aldwark, junction with St Andrewgate, York. A key piece of cycle/accessible infrastructure and an example of filtered permeability. But drivers wait or stop here blocking the level access and or the sight lines: see: # ... [more]
Car parking on the "Keep Clear" markings and across what the traffic order said was legal to cycle through (although it has never been properly signed) on the traffic filter.
A cycle hangar has been provided next to the Wilton Street Fire Path, but the Fire Path itself has still not been adapted to allow cycling through.
Surrey Street has had a cycle connection to Pollokshaws Road ever since this end of the street was closed to motor traffic as part of the Route Action Plan programme, but it is not clear how one is to join the South City Way cycle tracks.
The Nicholson Street cycle track exists to provide a safe link between Norfolk Court and the South Portland Street Suspension Bridge, but is being abused by motorists. It has lost its signs and the markings are somewhat faded.
The Nicholson Street cycle track has lost its signs, has faded markings, and is being used for car and van parking, and is being illegally driven through. Just next to the Sheriff Court! The link was put in to provide a safe link between ... [more]
[Image taken 14.8.21] Deangate close to the bollards (filtered permeability) with Minster Yard, York. This driver has not noticed the new 'at any time' restrictions on loading (see: #173205 and discussion). Other images today: #173230 and l ... [more]
The road closure on Denmark Street does not permit through cycling, even though Hawthorn Street now has protected cycle lanes. Access for pedestrians only.
A nasty roundabout to cross to get from the Hillington Road industrial estate side road to the residential part of Hillington.
A diagonal road filter, with full access for cycling. But no dropped kerbs for pedestrians to cross by.
Fire Path in Balgonie Road, with no provision for through cycling. The sign has an unusual partial yellow background. Normally yellow backgrounds are used with a full border, to make the sign more conspicuous. No need for this nonsense! ... [more]
The area around Crossloan Terrace and Harmony Square is permeable for pedestrians, but things could be made easier for cycling by installing a few dropped kerbs and connecting paths.
No provision for cycling through the road closure at the end of Ladybank Drive into Corkerhill Road, but since the kerb is low on this side, it can be bumped. Council policy says road closures should exempt cycles from the closure.
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.
A cycle hire station in Pollokshields on Maxwell Drive/St Andrew's Drive, and a painted footway cycle lane leading to a toucan crossing to the right.
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.
Torridon Avenue closed to motor traffic at its junction with Dumbreck Road, with cycles exempted and gaps provided.
Torridon Avenue is closed to motor traffic at its junction with Dumbreck Road, with cycles exempted and gaps provided.
The cycle traffic signals at Dargarvel Avenue, at the Dumbreck Road/Dumbreck Avenue junction. The junction also has toucan crossings around two sides. The shapes of the gaps do not make it easy to make movements straight across the junction ... [more]
The cycle filter at the end of Dargarvel Avenue has a signal since the junction of Dumbreck Road and Dumbreck Avenue is signalised. However, the gaps are not best aligned for movements straight across the junction.
A road closure in Saracen Street that does not permit through cycling, against Council Policy. In this case, the location of some dropped kerbs make it not too difficult to get around, but may be trickier with a non-standard cycle. Saracen ... [more]
Unlike those in Kinbuck Street at #169712, the planters used to close off Stonyhurst Street do not have room to cycle between them, and there is only room to get around them on the footway. However, possibly not so much of a useful route.
A gate right across the carriageway of Bogside Road, hindering cycling between Millerston and Robroyston. There is no dropped kerb on this side of the gate to enable it to be bypassed using either footway.
Another gate across the road linking the two sides of Robroyston station, and again there's only dropped kerbs on one side of the gate. The next opportunity to leave the footways (which aren't signed as shared use) isn't for a while, either ... [more]
The gate at Robroyston station closes off the full width of the carriageway, and a dropped kerb has been provided on only one side of it to enable cyclists to join the footway and go around it. The nearest dropped kerb on the other side of ... [more]
A gate has been provided across the full width of the road beyond the station. Partly due to its colour, I didn't realise it covered the full width of the road until I'd passed the last opportunity to leave the carriageway and join the (per ... [more]
Linthaugh Terrace meets Corkerhill Road, where NCN7 and NCN75 cross over to the footway on the far side of the dual carriageway. If not going via Pollok Park, northbound cyclists should stay on this side where there is a (now protected) cyc ... [more]
A Fire Path modified for through cycling, although the signage is unaltered. Three of the signs are probably larger than they need to be making them vulnerable to being twisted around to face the wrong way. The gap has only been marked for ... [more]
A Fire Path modified for through cycling, but the signage is unaltered and facing the wrong way. The gap is only marked for cycling in the opposite direction.
Fire Path on Howth Drive at Bearsden Road. Not especially useful for cycling, other than for residents perhaps, but council policy is to exempt cycling from such closures.
A Fire Path with no provision for cycling separating Potterhill Road and Linthaugh Road, and looking along Bonnyholm Avenue with NCN7 and NCN75 in the distance. The council's Active Travel directional signage can be seen on the far side of ... [more]
A new Nextbike station on Maryland Drive, Craigton, and a driver parked on double yellow lines across the entrance to the cycle track on Paisley Road West.
The access from Kinnell Avenue to the next part of the Paisley to Glasgow Cycle Route basically doesn't exist.
Gated path between Allander Street and Tannock Street. The path surface is whindust, with a liberal coating of glass.
Former Fire Path at Allander Street where it meets Ashfield Street. No provision for cycling through, although not much in the way of hindrance either, and the area awaits redevelopment. Through motor traffic here would be undesirable due t ... [more]
Filtered permeability between Milnpark Gardens and Milnpark Street at Sussex Street, rectifying the main problem in #99410.
Unmarked dropped kerb connecting the southern portion of Shields Road to Nithsdale Road and the rest of Shields Road. The dropped kerb has clearly been retro fitted, but not marked as being for cycling.
The barriers on Hanover Street have been moved making it more difficult to cross George Square. The gaps between sections of barriers do not line up. Previous layout shown in #143986.
The road closure in Avenuepark Street now has an opening to allow through cycling, correcting issue in #62876.
The dropped kerb on the right (see #46778) is blocked by van parking, and the stopped up section of road is also covered with indiscriminate parking.
A cycle link to Kelvinside Avenue from the road at the side of Maryhill Fire Station, and beside it, a footpath to Oban Drive. Another path leaves this to the left, just before the hill, and connects to Kelvinside Drive.
The 'No Entry' signs at the Novar Drive Fire Path now have 'except cyclists' plates (instead of the correct 'except cycles' plates), but the 'No Through Road' signs are unchanged.
Diversion signage for the Stockingfield canal path closure. The sign should be yellow. The diversion for city centre is rather lengthy from this direction, and those with local knowledge may be better going via Glenfinnan Road instead. The ... [more]
I think this is a "park in marked bays only" Controlled Parking Zone. Either way, the van is parked obstructing the cycle cut-through to Hyndland Street and the bollard isn't helping.
A Fire Path on Carsaig Drive, with no provision for cycling through (cycle access through road closures being Glasgow City Council policy).
The path through Craigton, from Drymen Street to Barfillan Drive, interrupted by a Fire Path on Carsaig Drive. No dropped kerbs for crossing the road. This path provides access to the M8 underpass through to Craigton Road and the Asda super ... [more]
A Fire Path in Drymen Street, with no provision for cycling through (although just about physically possible with a standard bicycle).
