The present limit of the completed cycleway on Old Dumbarton Road at the rear of the Kelvin Hall. Work is ongoing to install the raised crossing at the Bunhouse Road junction.
The protracted roadworks to rebuild and extend the Old Dumbarton Road cycleway continue. The https://www.roadworksscotland.org/ website said the road closure to create the raised junction would have started by 7 October and Get Ready Glasgo ... [more]
The Old Dumbarton Road cycle track is far from complete, and the raised crossings further along still haven't been started. This is on the COP26 diversion route.

Signs warning pedestrians to divert because of road works around the corner at this busy roundabout near Addenbrooke's Hospital.
Slow progress on the North Canal Bank Street cycle track. The surface is now in on the cycle track side, but not the pedestrian side. The tactile paving is still the incorrect tyre-grabbing hazard type. This is the end of the cycle track.

Progress on the bridge under construction at Stockingfield Junction, looking through the worksite gate.
The toucan crossing midway along North Canal Bank Street has been installed, but the tactile paving is still the incorrect corduroy (hazard) rather than the cycleway type. The top surface for both the cycleway and carriageway remains to be ... [more]
The crossing to the east of Bunhouse Road has now been provided with asphalt ramps to aid pedestrians crossing. No sign of either dropped kerbs or raised crossings being installed. Incorrect corduroy (hazard) tactile paving is still in plac ... [more]
Roadworks continue on Ferry Road. The surface on the footway is still incomplete. Updated at #175001 and #175002.
Still finishing work to be done on the rebuilt Bunhouse Road shared footway, and still no indication of priorities at the car park entrance.
Still finishing work to be done on Old Dumbarton Road, and not looking likely to be finished in time for the COP26 diversion route coming this way.
[Image taken 9.8.21] Tanner's Moat/Wellington Row, York. Context see: #173062 and links. Clear signage for cyclists. A clear view of the ramp. The visibility means people have time to make a judgement call whether they can ride over it or p ... [more]
[Image taken 9.8.21] Tanner's Moat/Wellington Row, York. Context see: #173062 and links. This is a busy area with works traffic (HGVs) and wheelchair users. I think the signage is clear and means people on cycles, foot and wheelchairs can b ... [more]
[Image taken 9.8.21] Tanner's Moat/Wellington Row, York. Context see: #173062 and links. The pedestrian signage is visibly at a pair of dropped kerbs. This makes the route practical for many users (tourists with wheeled luggage, wheelchair ... [more]
[Image taken 9.8.21] Tanner's Moat/Wellington Row, York. Context see: #173062 and links. The pedestrians are following the signage – and complying with it. The signage is clear and logical, encouraging conformity. Other images (different ... [more]
[Image taken 9.8.21] Tanner's Moat, Wellington Row, York. Context see: #173062 and links. The contractor took heed of best practice for these temporary (sub) works: 1. The Cyclists at roadworks appendix of the London Cycling Design Stand ... [more]
The shared footway on Bunhouse Road has been rebuilt, but has not had its dividing line reinstated. The zebra crossing has a random section of tactile paving nearby with no obvious purpose.
The toucan crossing across Argyle Street has been replaced by a pedestrian crossing and a separate cycle crossing. However, the approach is a bit cramped behind a bit of wall. See also #173170.
A new canal towpath access point has been created at the Centre81 community centre in Whitecrook. UPDATE: Now open.
A new steps and ramp access to the canal towpath is being built at the Centre81 community centre in Whitecrook. The towpath here has been resurfaced over a short distance.
[Update: Works completed. Sign removed.] [Image taken 20.7.21] Field View, York. Sign obscured until this point - but due to the narrow carriageway and pavement parking all road users need to be looking ahead. Other image this issue: #17233 ... [more]
[Update: Works completed. Sign removed.] [Image taken 20.7.21] Field View, York. Futile sign. Context image this issue: #172339. All images today: #172321 and links
[Image taken 20.7.21] Station Avenue, York. The vehicle here is obstructing sight of temporary crossing lights for people on cycles needing to reach this lane. Other images here today: #172327, #172328, #172330. Other images today: #172321 ... [more]
@camcycle Tenison Road now. The message about that signage still not getting through to contractors https://t.co/x2ok5nDNJX
Update 1.7.21. Signs and work area had gone. [Image taken 29.6.21] Bootham Terrace, York. Fallen cone. Deconstructed sign. One is not doing its job and is therefore clutter. One is a hazard. Other images this issue, this location today see: ... [more]
Maybe it's because I don't enter Speirs Wharf from Craighall Road very often, but I almost cycled down the cobbled slope since I was this time going to turn left down the ramp to Garscube Road. The layout here could be better. The steps ... [more]
A short diversion around some ongoing work, but the uneven surface and narrow width make it rather awkward to negotiate.
The correct Cycleway tactile slabs have arrived in North Canal Bank Street and await fitting in place of the incorrect corduroy Hazard tactiles.
NO ! Cyclists cannot be expected to dismount just because they're slower through the lights than cars.
The contraflow cycle lane has been kept open through the roadworks - the awful speed humps on Bateman Street are finally being replaced.
The three collapsing speed humps at the eastern end of Bateman Street have been removed - with luck, something better might appear soon.
Building work continues at Clyde Place. The cycle track approaching the Tradeston Bridge has been rebuilt. However, the position of the temporary railing directed me onto the new kerb which I wasn't expecting.
The Chocolate Path (NCN route 33 and the Festival Way) and half of Cumberland Road closed for roadworks.
Temporary path during building work - there's a dropped kerb to the left, but cyclists are better off on the next path to the south.
If you're cycling on the shared-use footway, there's a temporary ramp and diversion. If you're using the on-road cycle lane, you're a bit stuffed.
The new Marsh Barton station is under construction here - 'Clapperbrook Lane East will close to vehicular traffic for 16 months from the end of May 2021, but will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists. The project includes a new pedestria ... [more]
The cycle track alongside Fountainwell Road ends here, with some Guidance Path tactile paving. It looks suspiciously like it will go no further on this side, and it crosses over to a new path on the other side of what can be quite a busy (a ... [more]
Work outside Clydebank Town Hall. No sign yet of the cycle lanes shown in the artist's impression. https://www.scottishconstructionnow.com/article/4-3m-project-to-transform-clydebanks-town-centre-links
[Image taken 18.4.21] Clifton Moor Gate, York. Clifton/Rawcliffe are leisure, residential and retail areas with a network of segregated pedestrian and cycling links. York Council signs consistently overlook the existence of people who cycle ... [more]
Pothole inspection on Grange Road - how long will it be before the hole gets fixed? And why can't this be done by a small electric vehicle?
18.4.21: Updated images/captions: #167349. [Image taken 1.4.21] Clifton Moor Gate, York. The gap left for pedestrians is very narrow. There's no room to pass - even at pre-social distancing space requirements. It was tight on laden cycles. ... [more]
18.4.21: Updated images/captions: #167349. [Image taken 1.4.21] Clifton Moor Gate, York. Works are taking place where there is usually a toucan crossing. No provision at all has been provided for people who cycle. Yet this (Rawcliffe/Clifto ... [more]
The Chief Engineer and colleague watch as the sixth box culvert (of fourteen) is lowered into place at Newmarket Road. This is a week long closure of the road to build the underpass for the Chisholm Trail.
New arrangement of the Histon Road roadworks, with cars northbound only, to the right of the bollards, and cyclists to the left - but without a sign here.

There's a largely redundant dual-carriageway, but instead of taking a lane to provide the missing link cycleway between Swavesey and Fenstanton, they're spending much more time and money on a new alignment in the fields.
North Canal Bank Street is being extensively rebuilt, and includes a segregated cycleway. However, incorrect corduroy (hazard) tactile paving has been used instead of the cycleway type.
North Canal Bank Street is being extensively rebuilt, and includes a segregated cycleway. However, incorrect corduroy (hazard) tactile paving has been used instead of the cycleway type.
North Canal Bank Street is closed for extensive rebuilding. Pedestrian access is maintained to the left (see #165586).
Histon Road is now closed southbound except for cyclists - this is the rather messy arrangement at the southern end.
Histon Road is now closed southbound - most (but not all) of the No Entry signs have Except Cycle signs in place.
Histon Road is now closed southbound, except for cycles (although there is actually access for construction vehicles to Darwin Green to the right) - unfortunately there's no dropped kerb to reach it.
Trees have been cleared to build steps from Orchard Park to the A14 interchange at last - but no ramp, as far as I can see.
The southern end of the Garscube Road cycle track still hasn't been completed, but is at least now rideable. Top surface is all that is required. Further north, the path is complete up until Sawmillfield Street, with work in progress at the ... [more]
