More incorrect corduroy 'hazard' tactile paving on the A8 cycleway at Inchinnan. This should be of the 'cycleway' type in the foreground, and of the red pedestrian crossing type (in the correct formation) at the toucan crossing (which is meant to have two call buttons at each side). |

The shared footway alongside the A8 between Bishopton and Renfrew, passing a farm. This had quite a bit of grit on the footway and could do with a sweep. |
Cycleway: Infrastructure |
194948 | ![]() |
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. |
Road environment: Good practice |
194947 | ![]() |
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.

Cycleway: Infrastructure |

Cycleway: Infrastructure |
194944 | ![]() |
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 path from Abbotsinch Road to Inchinnan Road at the bascule bridge. The cycleway effectively ends at the bridge and it's onto the road for Renfrew and Glasgow, although a riverside path route starts on the other side of the river that will get you as far as Braehead. |

Road environment: Infrastructure |
192557 | ![]() |
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. |
