City Ways Glasgows City Ways are those routes that radiate to/from
the City Centre. A network of high quality cycle corridors on key
routes. These key cycle routes have business, cultural, educational
and residential destinations along and in close proximity to them.
They are characterised by constructed features such as segregated
cycle lanes and link into the wider cycle network to provide
greater cycle access to all aspects of our city. South West City
Way This is a 2-way segregated cycle route linking the city centre
and Pollokshields. In certain areas shared surfaces have been
introduced. These are areas such as the Tradeston Bridge and
sections such as at Scotland Street Museum. Innovative features
have been introduced including; cycle detection (with cycle
counting capabilities), route specific branding Diagonal Junction
The South- West City Way route incorporates a cycle only diagonal
crossing with its own phase separate from the traffic. This
diagonal cycling crossing allows cyclists to cross in one movement,
minimising delays. Floating Bus Stops Bus stop by-passes provide an
island refuge for pedestrians to wait for the bus and for
passengers to depart from buses without generating conflict with
cycle lane users. The by-passes are raised to the same level as the
footway. This creates a raised table to make cyclists aware of
change in surface priority and to promote as safer environment for
all users. Footrests Foot and hand rests located on South-West City
Way
