| 108714 |  | Cycle parking on the northbound platform at Larbert station. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 108713 |  | Cycle parking next to the entrance to Larbert station. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 108712 |  | Intermittent painted cycle lanes on the 40mph A88 Bellsdyke Road, a signed diversion route for the M876 motorway. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 108711 |  | Cycle parking and a pump at Larbert Library. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 108710 |  | A marker post for the HArTT cycle route. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108708 |  | Signage at the Kelpies, at the last proper bridge across this section of the canal. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108707 |  | Unfinished trenching work at the Kelpies Marina. | Roadworks: Problem roadworks |
| 108706 |  | Signage at the Kelpies Marina. The destinations across the canal can only be reached by crossing the lock gate in the background, or by going back to the bridge near the Kelpies car park. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108705 |  | Signage at the Kelpies Marina. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108704 |  | A last few twists and turns before the Kelpies. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108703 |  | Molehills in the asphalt? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108701 |  | Four ways, only two signposted, and a desire line becoming apparent. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108700 |  | Art in the woods. | Destination: Infrastructure destinations |
| 108699 |  | 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. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108698 |  | Another 'End of Cycle Route' followed immediately by the continuation of the same cycle route. Slow for and give way to anyone with keys to the gate. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108697 |  | A HArTT marker post for a right turn. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108696 |  | A HArTT marker post. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108693 |  | A corrugated underpass for the HArTT path beneath New Carron Road, but with poor sightlines at this side. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108692 |  | Slow for a sodding gate post? Surely priority signs like those on the adjacent road would be more appropriate. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 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. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108690 |  | A barrier over the HArTT cycle path at Carron Road, and a diagonal crossing over to the next section of path. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 108689 |  | The HArTT cycle path runs alongside the River Carron, and under this old railway bridge. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108688 |  | The asphalt surface has ended as the HArTT cycle path nears the River Carron. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108687 |  | The HArTT path gets narrower, and starts twisting and turning. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108686 |  | The Forth & Clyde Canal and towpath looking east. The van at the locks was parked right across the path. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108685 |  | A barrier at the Cumbernauld Road bridge and crossing on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, but no asphalt for the bypass gap. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 108684 |  | 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. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 108676 |  | 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! The single-sided HArTT cycle route signs are facing away from those joining the path at the junction. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 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 obstructions |
| 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. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108673 |  | Pedestrian signage on the HArTT cycle path at Bainsford, although not actually at a junction. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108672 |  | Signage for the HArTT cycle route, in its usual tiny writing. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 108671 |  | Cycle parking at the Falkirk Wheel North Car Park. It is hard to imagine why anyone would park a bike here, some distance from the actual Falkirk Wheel and its visitors' centre, unless the canal towpath was extremely busy. Road access to this location is via the A803/A883 roundabout, and a look at Google Streetview shows the shared-use footway ending at the roundabout rather than continuing anywhere useful. There is also some cycle parking at the Park'n'Ride car park adjacent to the roundabout. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 108670 |  | The shared-use path from the canal to the Falkirk Wheel North Car Park and continuing onwards to the Park'n'Ride car park at the A803/A883 roundabout. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108669 |  | An 'End of Cycle Route' sign on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath near the Falkirk Wheel, but which cycle route is it that ends here? NCN754 continues to Clydebank. The ramp to the right leads to the Falkirk Wheel North Car Park. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 108668 |  | The Forth & Clyde Canal, with the Falkirk Wheel just out of sight off to the right. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108667 |  | The Forth & Clyde Canal towpath and garden at Bonnybridge. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 108666 |  | The swingbridge at Bonnybridge on the Forth & Clyde Canal. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108665 |  | An access ramp and a barrier (with a BMX style bypass) on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 108659 |  | No dropped kerb at the start of the path on Garbett Place. No signage either, even though this is part of the HArTT cycle route. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108658 |  | If there was a flight of steps here before, it is now a ramp. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 108657 |  | The path from Camelon at Sunnyside Playing Fields. The path to Bainsford and Carronside is visible beyond the rugby pitch. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108656 |  | The path between Sunnyside Street and Sunnyside Playing Fields is a Right of Way. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 108655 |  | The path from Sunnyside Playing Fields arrives at Sunnyside Street, although it is a bit hidden from view from the road by the buildings. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 108654 |  | An opportunity to create a cycle link between Abercrombie Street and Mansionhouse Road across the A803 Main Street in Camelon by upgrading the existing pedestrian crossing. Mansionhouse Road leads to the Forth & Clyde Canal. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108653 |  | An opportunity to create a cycle link between Mansionhouse Road and Abercrombie Street across the A803 (and with A9 traffic) Main Street in Camelon, by upgrading the existing pedestrian crossing and installing dropped kerbs outside Falkirk Sheriff Court. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 108652 |  | No dropped kerb on the path from Carmuirs Park football ground car park to Mansionhouse Road. Mansionhouse Road could be developed as a cycle link between the canal and Camelon. | Track: Problem track |
| 108651 |  | No properly dropped kerb at the steps and ramp (ramp out of sight to the right) up to the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath at the Carmuirs Park football ground car park. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 108650 |  | Anonymous off-ramp from the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath to the Carmuirs Park football ground car park. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103474 |  | The HArTT cycle route goes down this steep slope to the Union Canal (see #101156). A new sensibly graded ramp has been built to the right (see #101153). | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 103473 |  | The HArTT cycle route goes down this track from Slamannan Road to the Union Canal. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103472 |  | Signage for the HArTT cycle route on a bus stop on Slamannan Road. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 103471 |  | Someone must have decided this layout was a good idea! | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103470 |  | The path towards Slamannan Road and Falkirk High station, with lighting columns placed so they do not obstruct the path. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 103469 |  | A new path for the HArTT cycle route, together with waymarker post. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103468 |  | Tiny route signage for the HArTT cycle route. Easy to miss at a turn. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 103467 |  | Barriers at Lionthorn Road crossing. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103466 |  | Once the path gets going, it is fine, until the next road crossing. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103465 |  | The nearest dropped kerb to the start of the path to Falkirk High station (see #103464) is on a very narrow section of footway, and together with the barriers makes for a needlessly awkward piece of cycling. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 103464 |  | A kerb and barriers across the start of the newly rebuilt path to Falkirk High station. There is a dropped kerb but it's off to the left (see #103465). | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103463 |  | The end of Hallglen Terrace and the start of the path through to the Glenburn Road underpass. See also #103233. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 103462 |  | Lack of permeability at the end of Parkhead Road in Hallglen. There is a similar step off to the left as well. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103424 |  | The end of the Hallglen cycle path at Hallglen Primary School. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103423 |  | As seen in #103422, the dropped kerb on the Glenburn Road toucan crossing does not cover the full width of the tactiles. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103422 |  | At toucan crossing across Glenburn Road, the dropped kerb covers only about half the width of the tactiles. See close-up view at #103423. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103421 |  | The Hallglen cycle path goes around a bus shelter in New Hallglen Road. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103420 |  | The Hallglen cycle path crosses the spinal path. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103419 |  | The start of around 300 metres of cycle path to Hallglen Primary School from Nevis Place. It crosses the spinal path which doesn't appear to be regarded as a path for cycling. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103418 |  | The underpass beneath New Hallglen Road on the spinal path through Hallglen could do with some TLC. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103417 |  | The spinal path through Hallglen. | Track: Good practice track |
| 103416 |  | The spinal path through Hallglen. | Track: Good practice track |
| 103415 |  | The eastern end of the step-free section of the spinal path right through the northern side of Hallglen. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 103233 |  | The path between the southeastern and southwestern parts of Hallglen. See also #103463. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 103232 |  | 'No Motor Vehicles' over the rebuilt railway bridge at Hallglen, although they'd either have to fit through the underpass at #103230 or come down some steps! | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 103231 |  | The Glenburn Road underpass, near Beauly Court, could do with a bit of tidying up. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103230 |  | The step-free access continues, but only through the underpass. Other than that, the only other option is onto the carriageway at Beauly Court. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103228 |  | The step-free path through the southeastern part of Hallglen, the opposite end from #103227. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103227 |  | The step-free path across the southeastern part of Hallglen. Although many of the connections seem to have steps. See also #103228. | Track: Good practice track |
| 103226 |  | Land available for a step-free path across to New Hallglen Road and connections to the wider path network. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 103225 |  | One of the few step-free connections to the main path through the southeastern part of Hallglen, linking to Glenburn Road. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103224 |  | The John Muir Way heads across to the Union Canal from New Hallglen Road. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 103223 |  | The road towards Callendar Woods at New Hallglen Road. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103222 |  | The path from the Westquarter Glen meets up with New Hallglen Road. The nearest sign for the HArTT cycle route is at #102843. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 103221 |  | The path alongside the Westquarter Burn suddenly gets rather steep for the climb back up to New Hallglen Road. More like a mountain biking route than a local cycle network route! | Track: Problem track |
| 103220 |  | A new bridge over the Westquarter Burn for access to a new housing development. Imagine if that sort of money had been spent on the path! | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103219 |  | A new bridge for access to a new housing development, crossing the Westquarter Burn and path. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103218 |  | The path alongside the Westquarter Burn. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103164 |  | End of the asphalt as the path heads towards the Westquarter Burn. | Track: Problem track |
| 103163 |  | A sign for the HArTT cycle route pointing towards Spinkhill (see #103160), but as the old railway bridge was removed (see #103161), a hair-pin bend path has been built up to New Hallglen Road to use its bridge instead. No indications whether cyclists should use the road or footway (see #103162). | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 103162 |  | No signs for the HArTT cycle route at the busy Redding Road Roundabout, nor any suggestion that the footway may be shared use. Plenty of space, but just an ordinary narrow footway. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 103161 |  | A track that used to lead to a bridge that the HArTT cycle route used to cross the railway line. However, the bridge has been removed, leaving only the New Hallglen Road bridge to cross by. The HArTT cycle route sign at #103163 can be seen across the railway line. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103160 |  | Tiny signs for the HArTT cycle route below another sign at Spinkhill. Are people really expected to notice these? | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 103091 |  | No through road, gated access | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103086 |  | Signage for the HArTT cycle route on Spinkhill, directing cyclists going to the Helix and Kelpies through the Westquarter Glen. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 103085 |  | Steps down into the Westquarter Glen. Maybe next time I'm in the area I'll explore the other options the HArTT cycle route could have taken. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103084 |  | More steps on the path through the Westquarter Glen. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103083 |  | Steps on the path through the Westquarter Glen. Not what you'd expect on a signed cycle route. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 103082 |  | A waterfall on the Westquarter Burn. A nice path for a walk, but there's a surprise for cyclists following the signed HArTT cycle route just around the next bend. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103081 |  | The path up the Westquarter Glen. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 103080 |  | The path up the Westquarter Glen. | Track: Infrastructure track |
