Photo listing: obstructions (problem)

#108692, nearby

Slow for a sodding gate post? Surely priority signs like those on the adjacent road would be more appropriate.

#108690, nearby

A barrier over the HArTT cycle path at Carron Road, and a diagonal crossing over to the next section of path.

#108685, nearby

A barrier at the Cumbernauld Road bridge and crossing on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, but no asphalt for the bypass gap.

#108675, nearby

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 … [more]

#108665, nearby

An access ramp and a barrier (with a BMX style bypass) on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath.

#103467, nearby

Barriers at Lionthorn Road crossing.

#103464, nearby

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).

#103462, nearby

Lack of permeability at the end of Parkhead Road in Hallglen. There is a similar step off to the left as well.

#103423, nearby

As seen in #103422, the dropped kerb on the Glenburn Road toucan crossing does not cover the full width of the tactiles.

#103422, nearby

At toucan crossing across Glenburn Road, the dropped kerb covers only about half the width of the tactiles. See close-up view at #103423.

#103223, nearby

The road towards Callendar Woods at New Hallglen Road.

#103161, nearby

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 … [more]

#103091, nearby

No through road, gated access

#103085, nearby

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.

#103084, nearby

More steps on the path through the Westquarter Glen.

#103083, nearby

Steps on the path through the Westquarter Glen. Not what you'd expect on a signed cycle route.

#102938, nearby

A single bollard in an already narrow path, approached in all directions by paths. Is this really necessary? No directions on the signpost for the route to the right, which also happens to be the HArTT cycle route.

#102924, nearby

A path connecting Chisholm Place to Portal Road, without even basic crossing facilities like dropped kerbs where it crosses Newlands Road.

#102923, nearby

A path connecting Portal Road to Chisholm Place, although there are no dropped kerbs (nor any other crossing facilities) where it crosses Newlands Road. The whole length of Portal Road (which runs parallel to the A905 Beancross Road) is … [more]

#102913, nearby

The transition between shared footway and road is a mess, with right-angled turns, and a bin and a cabinet blocking the way.

#102861, nearby

NCN76 goes up this flight of steps to the Kinneil Estate. Smooth earth next to the steps acts as a sort of wheeling ramp. A single sign - easy to miss on this downhill section of road. I don't know why the path at the top of the steps … [more]

#102856, nearby

A sign with its posts blocking part of the width of the shared-use footway along Inchyra Road. The path clearly predates the sign. If someone is coming the other way, one of you will have to slow down to let the other go first.

#102854, nearby

NCN76 joins the shared-use footway alongside Inchyra Road, but has several barriers across it.

#102853, nearby

The exit from Rannoch Park, a path from Rannoch Road, and their connection to the shared-use footway alongside Inchyra Road.

#101651, nearby

A barrier on the track up to the Union Canal.

#101649, nearby

Another barrier in Summerford Park.

#101648, nearby

I'm not sure who is welcome to Summerford Park. I had to turn my handlebars sideways and lift the front wheel to get through this.

#101646, nearby

On the way to the park at Summerford, but there's no dropped kerb to join the path.

#101523, nearby

As with #101515 the railway blocks progress along the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, and a flight of steps provides the connection to the adjacent A9 road bridge.

#101518, nearby

A path leading to an uncontrolled crossing of the A9 (see #101519) and the Sunnyside playing fields. Although the HArTT cycle route goes past either end of this path, it uses a signalled crossing of the A9 further to the north.

#101516, nearby

The immediate way around the blockage in #101515 is to use this flight of steps up to the A9 bridge to cross the railway. The alternative is to use the road approach to the bridge to avoid the steps.

#101515, nearby

The railway crosses the canal here and blocks the towpath. There are steps up to an adjacent road bridge to the right (see #101516).

#101250, nearby

Unlike the provision for crossing to Abbotsford Business Park, where left and right turns are catered for instead of forced right-angled turns, the path to Hayfield is made difficult to use with a chicane barrier.

#101248, nearby

Low hanging branches above the A9 shared-use footway.

#101230, nearby

Barriers across an exit from the Helix park.

#101226, nearby

Barriers at the entrance to the main part of the Helix park. The other side of the toucan crossing has bollards.

#101221, nearby

Needless barriers at the Laurieston Road entrance to the Helix park. What are dismounted cyclists to do when there's no footway on the road ahead?

#101220, nearby

Needless barriers at the Laurieston Road entrance to the Helix park.

#101208, nearby

The end of Bog Road is blocked off at Callendar Road and only pedestrians are allowed through. See also #101207.

#101134, nearby

The sign invites left turns from the Lionthorn Road shared-use footway onto the path to Slamannan Road, but the barriers makes them rather awkward with a bike.

#101133, nearby

This appears to be a new path over to the Union Canal access ramp at #101130, but has old school barriers making cycle access difficult.

#101130, nearby

A barrier guarding the steep access ramp down to the Union Canal towpath (see #101129) but rather awkward to get even a standard bike through.

#83094, nearby

Kissing gates at railway crossing on John Muir Way.
