| Comment | I've actually been cycling along the A80 as part of my commute in and out of Glasgow for nearly 10 years, yes sometimes people do drive quickly along the road but it doesn't happen that often.
For the most party the speed limit is 50 with a large chunk in the middle set to 30.
I feel relatively safe on that road to be honest.
There isn't a lot of traffic on it since they opened the new M80 extension in 2011, some mornings/evening's I've maybe only been passed by about 6 or 7 vehicles in that entire stretch. I'm sure that clubs like Lenzie Velo, Glasgow Green, and Arria Wheelers still use it for winter training loops in the evenings. Bunches of 6 riders, sometimes 2 groups of them, do 3 or 4 loops as training rides as the whole road is lit and there is space to be passed safely.
If you have a car take a drive up and have a look for yourself. :-) |
