| 115520 |  | Coatdyke train station cycle parking and ramp, to left of steps (quite steep). | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 113115 |  | The trackbed of an old railway, alongside the A752 at Drumpellier Country Park. This could potentially be made into a path for the Seven Lochs Trail instead of using the footway of the A752. At this point, the trackbed crosses a bridge over a stream. Viewing opposite direction from #113114. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 113113 |  | The southern entrance to Drumpellier Country Park on the A752. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 113112 |  | The Seven Lochs Trail turns from the A752 into Drumpellier Country Park. The signs here make no mention of the Seven Lochs Trail. There is a dropped kerb here, but it is partly blocked by a mangled railing installed across it. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 113111 |  | The footway of the A752 was supposed to be upgraded to be part of NCN route 755 south of Gartcosh, but this has still to happen. However, it is now part of the Seven Lochs Trail and still has obstructions like this boundary sign post. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 108683 |  | No signage for Cumbernauld's cycle route 2a to Abronhill near the Palacerigg Country Park visitors' centre. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108682 |  | A signpost within Palacerigg Country Park, but no mention of Cumbernauld's cycle route 2a to Abronhill which starts around here. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108681 |  | The entrance to Palacerigg Country Park, where Cumbernauld's cycle route 1 starts. There are no signs for the Cumbernauld cycle network within the park, although there is a map (see #102067). | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108680 |  | Cycling on Blackbog Road, which is part of a series of quiet country roads between Palacerigg and Moodiesburn. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108679 |  | Negotiating the path down from Cumbernauld Road to join the Strathkelvin Railway Path. Still as narrow and awkward as ever. | Track: Problem track |
| 108640 |  | Pedestrian killed in a collision with a car driven by her father's cousin. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-48473370 | Road environment: Event road |
| 103375 |  | The Wester Way alongside Phase 4 of the Bishopbriggs Relief Road. The lampposts have been planted in the path rather than alongside it (as has been done on the adjacent road), but other than this, it is built to a reasonable standard, and has a good view! | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 103090 |  | Private access road, gravel | Track: Problem track |
| 102097 |  | The footway of McNeil Drive at Eurocentral has now been upgraded to shared use. However, there were no signs on the wide footways around the B799 Bo'ness Road roundabouts at the adjacent motorway junction which, according to the M8/A8 upgrade plans, were to be shared use also. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 102096 |  | A Cumbernauld Cycle Network map outside Greenfaulds railway station. | Route sign: Good practice routesigns |
| 102071 |  | A fairly smooth unbounded track through the forestry at Dunsyston, avoiding a busier road through Gartness on the way to Chapelhall. But could equally go on towards Salsburgh. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 102070 |  | A rough, stony track across a former opencast mining site, with a bit of a climb towards the end, but more direct than the road around the site. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 102069 |  | An assortment of barriers at the entrance to Stanrigg Memorial Park, so just as well the gate had been left open! | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 102068 |  | A path with a decent surface linking Greengairs to Wattston and Stanrigg Memorial Park. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 102067 |  | A map of the Cumbernauld Cycle Network at the Palacerigg Country Park, right outside the visitors' centre. | Route sign: Good practice routesigns |
| 102066 |  | The alternative to #102065. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 102065 |  | The cycle parking at Palacerigg Country Park. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 102064 |  | The presumed shared-use footway alongside the road up to Palacerigg Country Park doesn't have a dropped kerb opposite Tannoch Road, making it difficult to join from the side road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 102057 |  | The cycleway between Eurocentral and Shawhead is open at last! | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 100123 |  | A single uncontrolled sliproad crossing with 'Cyclists Dismount' signs (see #51057) has been replaced with two uncontrolled sliproad crossings, without signs. No attempt to line up the footway with the crossings. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 100122 |  | Extremely poor finishing at the expansion joint at the north end of the Eurocentral bridge over the M8 motorway. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 100121 |  | The remains of the buffer strip (see also #51059) separating the shared-use footway from the carriageway can just be seen. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 100120 |  | Another set of pedestrian crossings to revert to the west side of the A8 Eurocentral junction, since there is no footway around the western side of the roundabout anymore. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 100119 |  | As with #100118, the crossing of the A8 is a pedestrian crossing. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 100118 |  | Despite the toucan crossing at #100117, all of the other crossings at the A8 Eurocentral junction are pedestrian crossings. It's almost as if they have forgotten that this is/was a shared use route. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 100117 |  | A split toucan crossing on Townhead Avenue, Eurocentral, with an HGV combo stopped some way forward of the stopline on the far side. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 100116 |  | A split toucan crossing across Townhead Avenue at Eurocentral. I don't know which direction the 'Cyclists Dismount' sign applies to. The kid on the bike took no notice of it. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 100115 |  | The cyclepath doesn't run directly to the toucan crossing, necessitating sharp turns, when the desireline is across open land. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 100114 |  | The M8 cycle path approaching Eurocentral. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 99882 |  | The cyclepath, A8 dual carriageway and M8 motorway approaching Eurocentral. I'm sure it would have been possible to design a more economical A8 road layout at this point. The road to the right is a field/land access with next to no traffic to give way to. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 99881 |  | The cyclepath and westbound A8 cross the M8 motorway. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 99880 |  | The Carnbroe foot and cycle bridge over the A8 dual carriageway. Why no direction sign? I know where it leads to, but that's not the point. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 99879 |  | The path from Eurocentral to Shawhead alongside the A8 dual carriageway. Closed ahead, see #99666. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 99878 |  | The path from Eurocentral to Shawhead alongside the A8 dual carriageway. Closed ahead. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 99877 |  | A short section of potholed road on Carnbroe Road. Is there an equivalent section of missing surface on the newly built M8 motorway? I'm guessing there isn't. | Pothole: Problem potholes |
| 99876 |  | The view from the bridge over the M8 motorway on Carnbroe Road, looking towards Coatbridge. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99875 |  | Carnbroe Road approaching the bridge over the new M8 motorway. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99874 |  | A 15mph limit on Carnbroe Road beyond the edge of Bellshill. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 99873 |  | The end of the path from Clay Road at the Clay Crescent bus turning circle. All this could be upgraded to improve active travel permeability within Shirrel. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 99872 |  | I don't see any reason why Clay Road shouldn't be upgraded to make an all-weather path serving the Shirrel area of Bellshill. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 99871 |  | Clay Road forks to the right, forming a sort of active travel spine through the estate. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99870 |  | Pinch-point traffic-calming on North Road, Bellshill. The dropped kerbs don't appear to have been thought through to create a half decent crossing for pedestrians. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99869 |  | Directions along the route from Strathclyde Business Park we are then told is a 'No Through Road' in #99868. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 99868 |  | Beware of cycles on the cycle path! This is not a 'No Through Road' for cycling. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |
| 99867 |  | Give Way at Strathclyde Business Park. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 99866 |  | The path to Strathclyde Business Park. See the comments at #99651 concerning the bridge ahead. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 99865 |  | The path alongside this section of the A725. It ends at Strathclyde Business Park. Why not continue on to Strathclyde Country Park? | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 99864 |  | Motorway regulations apply henceforth. A bit bigger than the equivalent cycle route confirmation sign. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 99863 |  | This had better be an important sign to be positioned so close to the cyclepath. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 99862 |  | I'm not sure what the best way to Uddingston from here would be, but the path on the left leads as far as Strathclyde Business Park. You'd have to find your own way from there. If you were approaching from this direction, you'd have been best taking NCN75 back at the Showcase junction. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 99861 |  | A passing place on the farm access road and M8 cycle route in the Douglas Support Estate. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 99860 |  | An expensive farm access road over the M8 motorway to Shawhead Farm. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 99859 |  | The farm access road turns south towards the Douglas Support estate woods. A triangular junction with the road to Shawhead Farm. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99837 |  | The farm access road and cycle route adjacent to the M8 motorway. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99836 |  | The farm access road alongside the new M8 motorway continues as a single track road. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 99835 |  | The farm access road alongside the new M8 motorway has a direct connection to the 'all purpose' A8 dual carriageway, which, as the sign says, is unsuitable for pedestrians and cyclists. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 99834 |  | More signs. They would make more sense facing the other way, come to think of it. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 99833 |  | The foot and cycle bridge over the M8 motorway and A8 dual carriageway to the Showcase Cinema and Kirkwood, but why the gate? | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 99832 |  | A sign for the footbridge over the M8 motorway and A8 dual carriageway to the Showcase Cinema and Kirkwood. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 99831 |  | The reverse view of #99830 shows this access road leads only to this piece of land. The route ahead becomes a cyclepath. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99830 |  | The cyclepath becomes a farm access road again. I doubt there's much traffic to give way to (see #99831). | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 99829 |  | The M8 cyclepath crossing the A8 sliproad and A752 at grade. No tactiles at this side. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 99828 |  | The M8 cyclepath crossing the A752-A8 sliproad at grade. Why are some 'Give Way' and other signs lit but not other similar signs at this junction? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 99827 |  | The M8 cyclepath crossing NCN75 and the A752 at grade. Signage this way for NCN75 but not straight ahead to Glasgow. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 99826 |  | The M8 cyclepath crosses the busy A752 road and A8 sliproad at grade. Why only a flyover for motorists? And no directions facing this way for NCN75 other than a Sustrans sticker. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 99825 |  | Some path damage due to construction traffic on the new cyclepath adjacent to the M8 motorway approaching the A752 crossing. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 99824 |  | A downhill section on the farm access road and cycle route adjacent to the new M8 motorway. The Showcase foot and cycle bridge can be seen in the distance. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99822 |  | Farm access road and cycle route alongside the new M8 motorway. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99819 |  | Why is the route sign so far away from the junction? | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 99789 |  | Give Way. Just do it! | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 99787 |  | The approach at Inchwood Road to the M80 footbridge over to Kirk Place is somewhat messy. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 99786 |  | Another path junction that would benefit from some upgrading work. | Track: Problem track |
| 99785 |  | As also seen in #99784, this path needs a proper surface, and it could be rebuilt slightly to the side to improve sightlines at the path junction. | Track: Problem track |
| 99784 |  | Some potentially useful paths here, but the route crossing this one needs a proper surface, and the opportunity could be taken to move it away from the vegetation to improve sightlines. | Track: Problem track |
| 99782 |  | How can anyone trust signage like this? See further comments at #70290. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 99781 |  | Little difference from my last visit at #70285. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 99780 |  | Cumbernauld Cycle Network route 4 crosses the B8048 here, then crosses the side road to get to the path to Craiglinn Interchange. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99779 |  | Route 4 from Craiglinn joins the path to the B8048. I don't know which kerb I prefer to bump! | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 99778 |  | According to my map from the council, Cumbernauld Cycle Network route 4 does not go up this busy road. I checked at the Balloch Roundabout and there were no further signs. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 99777 |  | According to my map from the council, the Cumbernauld Cycle Network route 4 turns left here then first right, rather than using the (rather ugly) caged crossing and the direct path to Craiglinn. But no signs. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99776 |  | Unfortunately the paths and crossing do not align, on this newly built estate. Very poor planning. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 99775 |  | A nice wide path through Smithstone, with a raised crossing across Old Tower Road, but is it Cumbernauld Cycle Network route 4? | Track: Good practice track |
| 99774 |  | According to my map from the council, Cumbernauld Cycle Network route 4 turns the corner here, which may account for the difference in path widths. But no signs. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 99773 |  | It's not just youngsters that take shortcuts when the local path network as built is inadequate. | Track: Problem track |
| 99772 |  | This path appears to have been forgotten about. | Track: Problem track |
| 99771 |  | No signs to say this is a shared-use footway, but according to my map from the council, this is where Cumbernauld Cycle Network routes 4 and 4a are to be found. The roundabout appears to be built on a different plane from the rest of the road. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 99770 |  | The Cumbernauld Cycle Network's route 1 turns along this path to Craigmarloch, but there's no dropped kerb at the entrance. The 'No Through Road' sign could do with an 'except cycles' plate. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 99769 |  | The Corduroy Heritage Path goes through the Croy station car park. More information at www.heritagepaths.co.uk/pathdetails.php | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 99768 |  | Cycle parking at Croy station, protected by high containment kerbs and bollards. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 99767 |  | Cycle parking at Croy station. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 99766 |  | Route signs outside Croy station. Not facing those exiting the station via either exit. 'Town Centre' refers to Cumbernauld. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 99731 |  | The new kissing gate (replacing #51060) has been blocked by Heras fencing. Wonderful! There is meant to be a cycle route being constructed between Calderbank and Eurocentral, coming through here. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 99717 |  | Accessible footbridge over Greenfaulds Road. | Track: Good practice track |
| 99716 |  | Steps link the Cumbernauld Cycle Network to Chapelton Road and the rugby club. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 99715 |  | A rough transition to the road at Kirk Place, but a barrier to ensure you don't accidentally cycle down the steps. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
