A new shared footway alongside the rebuilt Strathaven Road dual carriageway. The bus stop layby at present doesn't have any of the usual street furniture associated with such installations, such as a sign or shelter. A toucan crossing has … [more]
A parallel cycle zebra crossing across Strathfillan Road, on the West Mains Road cycleway, that does not involve deviation from the alignment of the cycleway (as happens at some other junctions). The proper cycleway ends just after where … [more]
A typical view of the two-way section of the West Mains Road cycleway. There is a parallel cycle zebra crossing at the side road junction ahead.
The West Mains Road cycleway at a parallel cycle zebra crossing, but 'ahead only' signs ban its use for cycles from this direction. Maybe it is only to be used for crossing from the other side of the road.
The West Mains Road cycleway approaching the Kirktonholme Road junction where the crossing is not in line with the main cycleway.
The path from Logie Park splits to form a triangular junction with the East Kilbride railway path. Left for the town centre, right for towards Kingsgate.
The path to Logie Park heads to the right, but there is a desire line over the mound straight ahead to get to the railway path. See also #113803 looking from the opposite direction.
Paths connecting from the East Kilbride railway path to Halfmerke Primary School, Logie Park, and Maxwell Drive.
The East Kilbride railway path near Dunblane Drive (to the left) and Halfmerke Primary School (to the right).
The car park entrance for the new Lidl supermarket is across the new Churchill Avenue shared cycle path. An update on #107576.
The path parallel to Whitemoss Avenue and then Churchill Avenue, approaching the underpass beneath Whitemoss Avenue.
A newly improved connection between Whitemoss Road and the Whitemoss Roundabout underpasses. But no direction signs for the cycle route nearby. The bin probably doesn't have to be located in the actual cycle track either.
The path seen being widened in #107574, and now officially shared use, alongside Churchill Avenue in East Kilbride.
The Mossneuk cycleway changes from unsegregated to line segregated path, although it isn't signed as such, for the final section to Newlands Road. The crossing footpath has priority over the cycleway.
The Mossneuk cycle route leaves Pitcairn Place to cross to the other side of Mossneuk Road just along from the bus stop.
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.
The Glen Road path, linking Stewartfield Way to actual Glen Road, which leads towards Carmunnock and Glasgow.
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 … [more]
The cycle track from Tantallon Park arrives in Glenluce Terrace, with a street name sign to confirm location for users.
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.
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.
One of East Kilbride's old cycleway and footway combinations, through the underpass connecting Highfield Place and The Gateway.
The turn into Kingsway at another roundabout. There's no connection between this cycle route and NCN756 at the opposite side of this roundabout.
The Blantyre to East Kilbride cycle route turns from Stoneymeadow Road onto the shared footway leading to Kingsway.
The cycle route to Stewartfield approaching the toucan crossing where the route leaves West Mains Road.
The cycle route to Stewartfield along West Mains Road, opposite St Kenneth's Primary School, hence the part-time 20mph limit.
East Kilbride's cycle route 3 continues alongside the A726 to the Calderglen Country Park overflow car park.
The footway and cycleway merge together for the High Common Road sliproad crossing. The 'shared use' sign has completely faded out.
Before route 3's path was built, cyclists were expected to return to the carriageway once past the roundabout.
The Calderwood Road shared footway, with a bus shop, footway parking, and a pinch-point crossing on the road across to a school.
Both paths have cycle signs on them, so possibly could divert if a heavily laden bus pulls up and starts unloading, but otherwise the left path goes directly to the school and the right is for following Calderwood Road.
The original cycle track from the Whitemoss Roundabout joins Calderwood Road, but a new shared-use footway starts and continues to the Alison Lea Health Centre, from where there is a local cycle route extending to Brancumhall.
The original layout at four of East Kilbride's roundabouts was that cyclists could leave the road before the roundabout, use the underpasses (including a pedestrian and cyclist roundabout in the centre such as at #107590), and then rejoin … [more]
The path from the Westwood Road underpass joins Darwin Road, but no sign for East Kilbride's cycle route 1. The route actually turns left and goes up the hill to Melbourne Avenue, but could stay on the level if it turned right and went … [more]
The path forming East Kilbride's cycle route 1 between Darwin Road and Mungo Park, at the underpass beneath Murrayhill at Bowden Park. No signs.
The original cycleway from the Righead Roundabout underpasses simply merged into Murrayhill, but a short section of extra path was added for East Kilbride's cycle route 1, allowing direct access to and from Livingstone Drive without going … [more]
The path to the underpasses at the Righead Roundabout. The path ahead joins with Queensway (A726). No sign for East Kilbride's cycle route 1 which turns right into the underpass.
Compared to the shared footway on other side of the road, the end of the purpose built cycleway looks over-engineered. It could also do with a sweep.
There's a 'give way' at each field access, but there's little chance you'll actually need to give way to anything. The new kerbs appear to be stuck onto the carriageway and have come adrift in some places.
The route from Bothwell to Strathclyde Country Park through the Raith Interchange first involves heading towards Bothwell Bridge to cross the dual carriageway in the toucan crossing seen in #93304.
The path from the Raith Interchange continues alongside the dual carriageway to Bothwell Bridge. There is literally nothing on this side of the road. A toucan crossing is provided for getting across to Bothwell.
The second cycle bridge across the Raith Interchange roundabout requires all users to pass under it and go around a loop to get up to it. There isn't even a staircase shortcut for walkers!

The last (or first coming from Rutherglen) cycle marking on the Cathkin Relief Road's cycle path. But no dropped kerb to rejoin the carriageway.
The Cathkin Relief Road's cyclepath looks more and more like an ordinary footway the further north it gets. But still has markings to remind users. No shared-use signage anywhere.
The Cathkin Relief Road cycle path joins George Mann Terrace for a short distance. Plus another view of the road carriageway drainage.
The cycle path alongside the Cathkin Relief Road, and a toucan crossing leading to a path to Fernhill.
NCN756 continues along Larchfield Drive, but the path to the left is also a cycle path and goes up to run alongside the Cathkin Relief Road.
