| 112072 |  | I wonder if the @PoliceScotland “safety camera” van beside their offices at Shawfield today can see the road for all those cars parked on double yellow lines & across a cycle lane? And whose cars might they be..? Let me guess. t.co/QlrkwGURtf | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 110029 |  | Cycle parking at Blantyre station. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 110028 |  | The ford at Hole. Although the water is still high, it is no longer overflowing onto the roadway. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 110027 |  | Holehouse Road closed on the approach to the ford, although the ford itself was not overflowing. | Temporary closure: Event closure |
| 109621 |  | No cycling allowed in East Kilbride town centre underpass | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 109344 |  | Sharp and narrow turn on crossing on NCR 756. Lamp post further obstructs turning space for bicycle. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 109343 |  | Extremely busy crossing on NCR 756. Either have to step out into traffic when queuing or wait for driver to give way. Pedestrian island between lanes is barely wide enough to accommodate bicycle. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 109342 |  | Busy bus stop on shared path on NCR 756. High traffic noise means people often cannot hear bike bell. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 109341 |  | Traffic lights obstructing shared use path on NCR 756 | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 109340 |  | Blind bend on shared path as part of NCR 756 | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108906 |  | Steps only access to NCR756 at Rosslyn Ave, East Kilbride | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 108222 |  | The path from Peel Park Place climbing up from the railway bridge to Eaglesham Road at Hairmyres. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108221 |  | A gate across half the path into the K-Woodlands. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 108220 |  | A bridge on the path from Hairmyres to Peel Park Place. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108219 |  | A gate to get into the K-Woodlands, but with a bike-friendly opening lever. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 108218 |  | A short flight of steps links Peel Park Place to the path to Hairmyres. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 108217 |  | A bike locked to a bollard advertising Pedal Zone off Peel Park Place. | Bike shop: Infrastructure bikeshops |
| 108216 |  | The cycle route into East Kilbride crosses Glenburn Way, but ends at the next junction at #31505. Since this road is one-way, a sign to diagram 810 would be appropriate here to inform those crossing. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108215 |  | Give way to a dismantled bus stop? | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108214 |  | The cycle route into East Kilbride follows Queensway. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108213 |  | Not only does the cycle route cross Stewartfield Way at this split pedestrian crossing, and not a toucan crossing with the extra call buttons, but the sign for the cycle route into East Kilbride is pointing the wrong way! There are no further signs to the left, but there are signs along Queensway to the right, ending at #31505. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108212 |  | The cycle route into East Kilbride crosses Stewartfield Way at this split pedestrian crossing. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108211 |  | The narrow footway here forms part of the East Kilbride to Thorntonhall and Eaglesham cycle route. A pedestrian shown for scale. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108210 |  | The shared footway (although there has been no sign to say so) goes through a bus stop without any widening. Luckily for me, a bus had just left. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108209 |  | Why can't the corner be more rounded? What are the bollards for? Why isn't there a distance for the town centre? The cycle route doesn't even go as far as the town centre. It gives up on Queensway at #31505. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108208 |  | The cycle route joins a path. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108207 |  | Barbana Road runs parallel to Redwood Drive, and serves an office development, as well as playing host to the cycle route between Eaglesham, Thorntonhall and East Kilbride. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108171 |  | East Kilbride a quarter of a mile away? Only the very edge of town. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108170 |  | No cycling or walking on the Glasgow Southern Orbital road. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 108169 |  | The Redwood Drive shared footway crosses Redwood Crescent next to the roundabout. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108168 |  | The Redwood Drive shared footway continues south, but it is not clear how far it extends. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108167 |  | Huge 'No Cycling' and 'No Pedestrians' signs next to the Redwood Drive shared footway. What is actually meant is that the Glasgow Southern Orbital road beyond the junction is restricted. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 108166 |  | The Redwood Drive cycleway detours to cross Redwood Crescent. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108165 |  | A split pelican crossing across Redwood Drive, rather than a toucan crossing with extra call buttons, when it forms part of a cycling route. It took a while for the lights to change. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 108164 |  | Anonymous route signs for the cycle route to Thorntonhall and Eaglesham, but nothing for the shared footway ahead. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108163 |  | A shared footway that is narrower than the adjacent unshared footway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108162 |  | Is the cycleway so narrow because it is one-way? Probably not. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108142 |  | The end of the Stewartfield Way cycle route, from Kingsgate to the National Museum of Rural Life. The bollards were a little tight, especially so close to the turn onto the crossing. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108141 |  | The Glen Road path, linking Stewartfield Way to actual Glen Road, which leads towards Carmunnock and Glasgow. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108140 |  | Toucan crossing across Stewartfield Way, primarily for the Stewartfield Way cycle route, but also useful for the Glen Road path (straight ahead). | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108139 |  | The Stewartfield Way cycleway approaches its destination at the National Museum of Rural Life. There used to be markings on the footway beyond the toucan crossing saying 'END', now faded away, since the shared-use section on this side had come to an end, with the cycle route crossing over, and thus leaving a gap in the cycle network towards Queensway. I could see no evidence this gap had been filled in, although someone has marked up OSM as if it had been. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108138 |  | The Stewartfield Way cycleway takes a detour half way to the next roundabout at each of the Macivor Crescent junctions. It may even be quicker, although marginally longer, just to cycle round Macivor Crescent. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108137 |  | The Stewartfield Way cycleway takes a detour half way to the next roundabout at each of the Macivor Crescent junctions. It may even be quicker, although marginally longer, just to cycle round Macivor Crescent. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108136 |  | The Stewartfield Way shared footway - no wider on this stretch than it was further east. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108135 |  | The Stewartfield Way cycleway crosses Macneish Way (which is the entrance to the Morrison's supermarket) here, but no help to cross this busy road, not even use of a central island due to where the dropped kerbs have been installed. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 108134 |  | Arrotshole Road path climbs up towards the Morrison's supermarket, with other paths connecting at various points. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108133 |  | The motor-traffic-free Arrotshole Road runs alongside the Kittoch Water, right in the middle of the western part of East Kilbride. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108132 |  | This section of Arrotshole Road has been closed to motor vehicles. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108131 |  | The path from Fairfield Place arrives at Arrotshole Road, but the whole area is cluttered with parked vehicles and materials. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108130 |  | The path from Fairfield Place at a car yard, where some vehicles were backed further onto the path than others. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108129 |  | A poor quality path connecting the industrial areas of Fairfield Place and Arrotshole Road. | Track: Problem track |
| 108125 |  | The footway on this section of West Mains Road is not shared-use, although it looks little different from the section that is, and the carriageway is just as busy and fast-paced, so why not fill this gap in the network? | Road environment: Problem road |
| 108121 |  | The cycle track from Tantallon Park arrives in Glenluce Terrace, with a street name sign to confirm location for users. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108119 |  | Broken glass on the cycle track between Tantallon Park and Glenluce Terrace. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108075 |  | The cycle track from St Lawrence Park arrives in Falkland Drive, but someone has decided it makes a convenient parking space for his truck. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108074 |  | The underpass beneath Queensway, connecting St Lawrence Park and Falkland Drive. Like many of the old underpasses in East Kilbride, there is a cycleway and separate footway. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 108073 |  | The 'Cycles Only' sign at the start of the cycle track at the Righead Roundabout on Murrayhill has been facing the wrong way for years. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 108072 |  | No demand for a cycleway alongside Queensway between Righead and The Murray Roundabouts? Pedestrians have their own footway all the way, but cyclists are expected to cycle on the dual carriageway. Evidently, not all do! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108071 |  | No room for a cycleway alongside Queensway between Righead and The Murray Roundabouts? Pedestrians have their own footway all the way. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 108070 |  | Despite there being room for a cycleway alongside Queensway between Righead and The Murray Roundabouts, cyclists are expected to cycle on the dual carriageway. Pedestrians have their own footway all the way. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108069 |  | The cycle track from Queensway to The Murray Roundabout, and parallel footway. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108068 |  | The underpass under Rothesay Street leading to the shopping centre from The Murray Roundabout, and on the right a truncated cycle path removed when the Churchill Avenue road layout was altered to allow easier motoring. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108067 |  | Both East Kilbride cycle routes 2 and 3 turn right after the underpass, but definitely not NCN route 3. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108066 |  | The cycle track from Churchill Avenue carriageway for avoiding The Murray Roundabout being resurfaced. On the right, the newly upgraded shared-use footway that runs the full length of Churchill Avenue. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 108065 |  | Roadworks blocking the footway on Queensway, but the workers' van and trailer blocking the cycleway. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 108064 |  | Roadworks blocking the footway on Queensway, but the workers' van blocking the cycleway. | Roadworks: Event roadworks |
| 108063 |  | East Kilbride cycle routes 2 and 3 turn left here, but only this tiny vandalised sign marks the way. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108062 |  | The start of the cycle track approaching the Birniehill Roundabout, and the newer path put in for East Kilbride cycle route 2, coming from Mount Cameron Drive North. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108061 |  | A path connecting the main path to Loch Striven. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108060 |  | Room for the cycle track at Whitemoss Roundabout to continue alongside the dual carriageway to reach Birniehill Roundabout, but instead, the cycle track merges with the A725 Kingsway carriageway. The footway to the left continues roughly parallel to the main road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108059 |  | Broken glass in the underpass at Whitemoss Roundabout. The only one of the town centre underpasses I found in such a state. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108058 |  | A path connecting Whitemoss Recreation Ground to the cycle facilities at Whitemoss Roundabout. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108049 |  | A vandalised sign for NCN756 in a non-standard format, and no dropped kerb to allow cyclists to leave the carriageway and join the path. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108048 |  | The underpass from Maxwellton Road under Kingsway ramps up to Maxwell Drive. The sign for NCN756 suggests cyclists are expected, yet there is no dropped kerb to join the carriageway at the end of the ramp. However, there is a dropped kerb at the steps exit! | Track: Problem track |
| 108047 |  | The Maxwellton Road underpass beneath Kingsway is unlit during daytime, apart from the skylight in the central reservation. A far cry from the neat conservation area on Maxwellton Road. | Track: Problem track |
| 108046 |  | The underpass beneath Kingsway at the end of Maxwellton Road has ramps and is possible to cycle, but has lots of sharp corners. The dropped kerb is also a bit of a bump. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108045 |  | This track runs parallel to Kingsway and leads through to the Whitemoss Recreation Area and roundabout. A through route for cycling, but not driving. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108044 |  | Burns Park ends in the Maxwellton Conservation Area. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108043 |  | The Burns Park end of the footbridge across Kingsway. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108042 |  | The excellent footbridge across Kingsway, connecting Kelso Drive and Burns Park. A few more of these wouldn't go amiss! | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 108041 |  | I'm not sure whether this kerb is dropped or not, but the path leads to the ramped footbridge across Kingsway to Burns Park. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108040 |  | A path signed as a cycle access to NCN756, but could do with being a little bit wider. The road at the top, Logie Park, is one way, but there is no sign to tell cyclists this. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108039 |  | The access to NCN756 is vulnerable to blockage by van parking at Glamis Drive. | Car storage: Problem carstorage |
| 108038 |  | The railway path into East Kilbride, NCN756, with a sign for "Primary Schools" off to the left. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108037 |  | The older path connects Highfield Place and The Gateway, while the newer path connects across to NCN756 on the railway path. No signage, but as NCN756 also joins The Gateway, it can be reached by either route for those heading north. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108036 |  | One of East Kilbride's old cycleway and footway combinations, through the underpass connecting Highfield Place and The Gateway. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108035 |  | Clear signage for destinations along NCN756, but none for some of the paths off to the side. Highfield Place's turn-off. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108034 |  | The railway path into East Kilbride, part of NCN756. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108033 |  | NCN756 turns left to leave the railway path alignment, while the cycle route to Blantyre and Hamilton starts, but is only signed as going to East Mains. There's a sign for Hamilton up on Wilson Place. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108032 |  | NCN756 leaves the railway path and joins The Gateway and Mavor Avenue. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108031 |  | The cycle route from Blantyre joins NCN756. The railway path has now been properly surfaced. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108030 |  | The cycle route from Blantyre leaves Wilson Place to join NCN756, but no mention of NCN756 on the sign. A dropped kerb at the end of the path would be of assistance to anyone cycling to or from Wilson Place itself. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108029 |  | A connection between the cycle route from Blantyre, NCN756, and Iona Avenue, via a toucan crossing across East Mains Road. Iona Avenue leads to Kelso Drive where there is a ramped footbridge across Kingsway. Also, if the markings barely fit on the pavement, the shared footway is probably too narrow. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108028 |  | The cycle route from Blantyre crosses Wilson Place to join NCN756, but no mention of NCN756 on the signs. Also, if the markings barely fit on the pavement, the shared footway is probably too narrow. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108027 |  | The shared footway continues along East Mains Road, to meet up with NCN756. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107988 |  | The narrow shared footway at the Whirlies Roundabout. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 107987 |  | The Blantyre to East Kilbride cycle route crosses Kingsway here. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 107986 |  | Crossing sliproads at Lee's Burn Court. Shared footways barely wide enough to paint the relevant markings on, and giving way to traffic coming from behind.. A more enlightened development would have brought the path through from Stoneymeadow Road between this site and that of the car retailer in Nerston East, avoiding the need for this crossing altogether. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 107985 |  | The turn into Kingsway at another roundabout. There's no connection between this cycle route and NCN756 at the opposite side of this roundabout. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 107984 |  | The shared footway leading to Kingsway. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
