Bedlormie Toll. West Lothian

Cycle parking outside the council buildings on the High Street.

Effectively a No Entry except cycles, No Motor Vehicles at the start of a contraflow cycle lane on Union Road.

It always surprises me what some folk will mark as suitable for cycling on OSM. Railway bridge with steps both sides.

A steep ramp up to a railway bridge, only really useful for walking.

Easy access to the Union Canal in Linlithgow.

The barrier across the top end of the steep "pedestrian access route" to Linlithgow station.

A resonable gap between the railings, but wouldn't bollards do the job?

Narrow path Short narrow path from Young Street to Burngrange Court. Not advised for cycling.

Burgrange Park path Wide path between houses to road through Burngrange Park

Burngrange Park Path crossing the park from Hartwood Road to Burngrange Park is made up of whinstone and recycled plastic board walk.

The road is wide enough for potential cycle infrastructure. There is central hatching and several traffic islands which cause pinch points. Removal of these would free up space for on road cycle lane or shared use path on the north side. Th ... [more]

The footway on the north side of the A71 west of West Calder to Addiewell and Breich could be suitable for shared path use. There is probably more path buried beneath. Needs cleaning, removal of, encroachment.

There is a barrier across the cycle route and kerb at the side of the road. Access through is narrow for cycle, and more difficult for a buggy, or wheelchair. Could be improved by removing the barrier and replacing it with a bollard.

Entrance onto cycle route NCN75 often obstructed by cars parking side by side where is says KEEP CLEAR. Consider bollards to prevent vehicle access or block off the piece of road which is not needed.
