The shared footway alongside the A8 approaches the bridges across the Black Cart, and cyclists are directed to cross at the toucan crossing to use the new cycle bridge.

A green strip has been provided on the road, with a cycle symbol, but its meaning is unclear. A dropped kerb has been provided for any cyclists leaving the carriageway to use the crossing.

A cycle slip for leaving the carriageway and joining the shared footway. An excellent example of how to provide for this manoeuver, but somewhat redundant in this case when there has been a shared footway along the other side of the road since the edge of Renfrew.

The shared footway alongside the A8 heading away from the new M8 junction. The shared footway on the opposite side comes to an end and a dropped kerb crossing is provided. There is also a slip for joining that shared footway from the carriageway. The shared footway on this side continues right up to the edge of Renfrew.

I don't know what the temporary sign and barrier on the shared footway on this side were there for. The footway on the other side had been shut past the motorway junction.

This section of the A8 between Bishopton and Renfrew has shared footways on both sides, around and between the various roundabouts associated with Dargavel, which, if nothing else, means a choice of crossing locations if traffic happens to be busy arriving at the first.

The Barnwell Street Bridge has been open since August 2022, and has a shared-use footway on the southern side. There is very little traffic on the road since it serves only a handful of industrial premises in what used to be the end of Wright Street, but that may include HGV traffic.

The view from Gleniffer Braes Country Park. The path through here is of variable quality, ranging from old asphalt to unmade worn path across the ground, and one section at the bridge over the Gleniffer Burn was too rocky to cycle. There is a kissing gate at each end, at Sergent Law Road there is an unlocked farm type gate next to it which can be used for cycles, while at the Braehead Road car park, the farm gate is locked so bikes have to be lifted over. There are a small number of benches located at various locations alongside the path.
