Forth & Clyde Canal M80 bridge |
Cycleway: Infrastructure |
148734 | A very dangerous road crossing for cyclists on the tow path. Traffic needs to be slowed down on a blind bend. |
Cycleway: Problem |
|
145214 | The entire length of High Station Road up to and including Cow Wynd is a key route up to Comely Park Primary School and the centre of town. The current roads are very busy (with cars, HGVs, and buses) and do not support safe cycling. Cycling along here with young children is dangerous and frightening. Segregated cycleways are required to support cycling to school and town. |
Cycleway: Problem |
|
145213 | The entire stretch of Majors Loan leading up to and including Cockburn Street, Tanners Road and West Bridge Street is not suitable for safe cycling. Particularly with young children. This is a key cycling route from the train station (and residential areas) into town and requires safe infrastructure in the form of cycleways to support safe cycling. |
Cycleway: Problem |
|
143923 | There needs to be an unbroken cyclepath separate from roads from the Stirling area to Forth Valley Royal Hospital |
Cycleway: Problem |

A marker post for the HArTT cycle route's right turn. The path ahead leads to a bridge across the River Carron, so I'd expect a little more signage at this junction. |

Slow for a sodding gate post? Surely priority signs like those on the adjacent road would be more appropriate. |
Obstruction: Problem |
108691 | ![]() |
Priority over oncoming vehicles for northbound traffic at the bridge over the River Carron, and narrow gaps for drainage and maybe cycling. The road is bypassed by the newer New Carron Road. |

The end of the cycle path from Cumbernauld Road and the Forth & Clyde Canal, but neither a dropped kerb to get onto the carriageway or a shared footway in either direction. Allandale to the left, Castlecary (and the quieter Walton Road to Abronhill) to the right. |

Signs in Bainsford. I can't think why Carron and Stenhousemuir are only for pedestrians, or why they didn't name the hospital. Imagine walking three and a quarter miles and it turns out to be the wrong one! |
Route sign: Problem |
108675 | ![]() |
Although the HArTT cycle path has been given a raised crossing (see #108674) and there is no road access across it, there are also no dropped kerbs to allow convenient access onto the cycle path for anyone living nearby. Some of the signs are also one-sided. |
Obstruction: Problem |
108674 | ![]() |
As the road closure between Cotland Drive and Muirhead Avenue has been nicely placed where the HArTT cycle path passes through, it is a bit disappointing to see this 'give way' and lack of continuity on the cycle path. |
