A parallel zebra crossing, and start of the West Mains Road cycleway. The bollard on the right is directing cyclists up a flight of steps!
Having protected cyclists along Cornwall Street, the cycle lane ends by spitting them out onto the Centre Roundabout. This may be temporary.
The cycle track leaves the Queensway carriageway in time for the Righead Roundabout. There is plenty of room for it to have been off-road all the way along here.
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.
Toucan crossing across Stewartfield Way, primarily for the Stewartfield Way cycle route, but also useful for the Glen Road path (straight ahead).
This track runs parallel to Kingsway and leads through to the Whitemoss Recreation Area and roundabout. A through route for cycling, but not driving.
A new toucan crossing replacing a footbridge with stepped ramps over West Mains Road. But nowhere obvious to cycle on the far side of the crossing.
An "improved" roundabout at Stroud Road and Kelvin Road. Not improved for cycling, as far as I can see.
Blacklaw Drive, and footbridge. Again, no signage for East Kilbride cycle route 2 at the junction ahead.
A path across the Blacklaw Drive roundabout and into the Tesco supermarket. There are no signs for East Kilbride cycle route 2 at this roundabout. However, the 'Cyclists Dismount' sign has vanished too.
No evidence that this section of footway on Whitemoss Avenue is a cycleway. It's also rather busy and cluttered.
The exit from Headhouse Greenway at Telford Road. Pass between the columns to get to the Queensway underpass directly to the shopping centre.
The cycle route through and beyond the motorway junction is a shared footway. There is a lot of dirt from the carriageway affecting the cycleway.
A toucan crossing across the dual carriageway connects Bothwell to the Raith Interchange walking and cycling provision. As it forms part of the junction traffic signal system, one side of motor traffic is stopped before the other.
The Mill Street footway has a single toucan crossing at the Rodger Drive junction, outside Overtoun Park. NCN756 is present within the park.
The Cathkin Relief Road's cyclepath starts again at Drumilaw Road, and is also the access path for a bus stop.
Where are all the bussists? Newly built disused bus stops on the Cathkin Relief Road, because the bus company quite sensibly decided it would rather continue running its buses along Fernhill Road. But still no excuse for the lighting … [more]
Typical nonsense markings in South Lanarkshire, where it appears cyclists are meant to cross from the footway of Glasgow Road (off to the right) onto the footway in the foreground, then immediately leave it for the on-road cycle lane. No … [more]
Earnock St has a path across to Pollock Avenue at the end, which then continues towards Peacock Cross.
Earnock St has pedestrian access to Burnbank Road, but only away from Hamilton town centre. No provision for cycling.
I'm not sure how the cycle lane helps anything. The parked cars are more of a hazard than a low traffic sideroad with good sightlines.
Route (74) crossing Cypress Avenue. I guess the 'Cyclists Rejoin Carriageway' sign should be facing the other way.
Cycling exempted from road closure at High Blantyre Road crossing at Russell St, and route (74) heads along the footway to the right.
Route (74) switches from the roadway of Ballantrae Road to the footway of Main Street. Lots of road markings.
The end of Bellsfield Drive, open to pedestrians, closed to vehicles. With a little work could be open to bikes too.
Another model horse in the middle of a busy junction, but only some arms of the junction have pedestrian crossings. No obvious reason why they aren't toucan crossings with shared-use footways all around. The crossings also seem to be of the … [more]
Traffic filtering at Viewfield Avenue, and paths to either side, although the path southwards starts with a flight of steps.
South Lanarkshire Council's interpretation of a bus stop bypass, with no continuous footway so all pedestrians expected to walk via the bus stop island. The bus stop itself is in a layby so buses may get delayed waiting to leave.

Dalmarnock Bridge - the link between the road to the Cuningar Loop park and NCN75 Clyde Walkway - all fenced in with guardrail. If going on-road, the turn at #87965 does not have a dropped kerb.
Motor traffic on this minor road has a slight chicane, while the signed cycle route turns left through the bollards and along the Burnbank pedestrian precinct.
The on-road cycle lanes continue right through the roundabout, but only for the route along the main road.
Change of speed limit on Lanark to Hyndford cycle route. The on-road cycle lanes continue to Hyndford village.
End of the on-road cycle lanes section of the cycle route into Lanark from Hyndford. Spot the sign telling cyclists to turn right.

Cycle lane (with wrong type of broken line) across junction mouth, and pavement hopping (see #38907) to get to toucan crossing across main road (see #38909) to avoid roundabout ahead

Fire path at end of Rockhamton Avenue, with gap for cycles (although not mentioned in signage), on East Kilbride local cycle route 1.
New cycle lanes on Glasgow Road, Shawfield, part of NCN 756 (as far as first junction on left). Cycle lanes stop at junction with main section of Glasgow Road. No waiting restrictions either (photo taken at weekend).
