Discriminatory blocking of the route to the Arkleston bridge across the M8 motorway, with tyres being placed over the bollards, narrowing the gaps between them considerably.

More barriers at the foot of the ramp of the motorway footbridge, making 12 half-width panels to navigate around in total.

More barriers on the motorway footbridge.

More barriers on the motorway footbridge. Offsetting the stairs from the main span would have protected them from anyone inadvertently falling down them, if that's what these barriers are for.

The footbridge between Cockels Loan and Arkleston Road over the M8 motorway. The ramps have multiple barriers to slalom around. A desire line is developing in the grass from the north east.

The proper Mossland Road cycle route has a dropped kerb to cross to the entrance on the opposite side, but the newer cycleway on the opposite side does not have a dropped kerb to allow access to it.

Narrow barriers to negotiate at the end of the riverside path in Renfrew.

Barriers and signs at the start of the riverside path in Renfrew. It only reaches the riverside after the scrap yard.

Barriers on Inchinnan Road at the entrance to the riverside path, next to the bascule bridge.

An awkward piece of path at the entrance to the park at the end of Ben Nevis Road. The combination of vertical and horizontal alignment, and the normally closed gate, make this tricky to cycle. It also doesn't seem to be easy for van … [more]

Chicane barrier on path from Strathcarron Drive to Hurlet Road, even though there is pedestrian guard railing across the end preventing access to the road.

No easy way across Hurlet Road from Ben Nevis Road to the path to Strathcarron Drive.

These barriers on the NCN7/75 look brand new and contravene @sustrans guidance on access controls: https://t.co/fR4xOMAmRt https://t.co/fNQV15dMJi

Slalom at each end of ramps to new Hillington footbridge.

Think I interrupted a dance off between these bollards... https://t.co/mZ9zk2HLwA Similar in Cambridge see: #9156

An anti-cycling barrier in alleyway from Saucel Crescent, despite the continuous railing across the entrance on the road outside.

This gate fully blocks the carriageway and no by-pass has been created to allow cycles into the grounds of the leisure centre, expecting all vehicular visitors to use the other gate further down the road.

Lifting bikes over a locked gate on Core Path LIN/9. The gap at the side was only wide enough for slim pedestrians.

This used to be a straight across toucan crossing. Now it's an obstacle course over a split toucan at the side of the supermarket road junction.

Dropped kerb needed to allow cyclists through between Merlin Way parking area and Netherhill Road

Dropped kerb needed at entrance to Cockleshill Park

Former Erskine Bridge access path blocked by fence at new garden centre. All access is now from the bus layby on the main road where there isn't even a dropped kerb.
