| 152629 |  | The dotted cycle lane runs all the way to the roundabout. This creates potential for 'left hooks' to folks on bikes by drivers of motorised vehicles and also doesn't allow folks on bikes to get in lane if going straight ahead or right at the roundabout. I feel this is dangerous, but it would only take a small revision in its design to sort it. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152628 |  | Potential danger and conflict between cycle lane and slip for cars entering the car park. Ideally, the lane should cross the road at right angles to improve visibility for both parties. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152325 |  | End of safe cycle route from Mallaig which needs extending to A861 junction to boost tourism. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152049 |  | When the 153 bike and bag cars are added to the trains please can tandems be allowed to enable disabled people and their partners to reach the highlands. Unable to get to Fort Willam by train currently as Scotrail ban tandems and therefore disabled cyclists. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152047 |  | Please can Scotrail change their anti Tandem policies and allow them on the Inter7City trains which LNER did with exactly the same trains. Discriminates against disabled riders who have to ride with a partner. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152042 |  | Please can Scotrail change their anti Tandem policies and allow them on the Inter7City trains which LNER did with exactly the same trains. Discriminates against disabled riders who have to ride with a partner. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 150108 |  | In addition to making more room for a cycle contraflow, this street needs better signage and markings to indicate that their is a contraflow in place. There is often much aggression towards folks on bikes from people in motor vehicles because this is not clear. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 150107 |  | Clearer contraflow signage needed on this street. Folks in cars are often very aggressive to folks on bikes on this stretch due to the information not being clear. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 150106 |  | Signage to indicate that cyclists can turn left here would be great! I've been advised by local authority reps before that this is allowed, but there's nothing to indicate it. Which is frustrating for all! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 150102 |  | The underpass does not give cyclists enough room to manoeuvre between the barriers, they need to be widened. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 150099 |  | The gate at this entrance is very difficult to use for wheelchairs, families with buggies or prams or bikes. Especially adapted bikes. Remove and replace with something accessible, possibly properly placed chevrons? | Track: Problem track |
| 150098 |  | The chevrons are too narrow, less than 1m. Making it too difficult for wheel chair users, adapted bikes, trikes and family bikes. This path leads to the primary school and shop. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 149578 |  | Incredibly overgrown hedge makes passing difficult on foot. Impinges below head height, makes path sharing near impossible and creates a blind corner. | Track: Problem track |
| 149576 |  | Street furniture causes a notable pinch point here. Between lamp posts and some sort of electrical box, there is very little space to pass on a standard cycle with even greater difficulties on those with non-standard cycles of wider berth. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 149575 |  | In addition to a lack of controlled crossings along this distributor road, many of the island crossings are very narrow and barely house a standard cycle and would not be sufficient for users of adaptive bikes. These need to be changed to be safer and more inclusive. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 146400 |  | This pathway is not marked for dual cycle + pedestrian use. Both types of users are put off using it - as personally heard from conversations. Cyclists not wanting to interfere with pedestrians and pedestrians frightened of cyclists. Awareness (signage) of dual-use ought to make all users aware of other users and comfortable with sharing. Also the A836 ought to have a 40 mph speed limit as path users are heard to say the proximity of speeding vehicles is off-putting. Cyclists using the roadway are also put off and are put in danger by the same vehicles which are at full road speed for the less that one full mile length of the road. | Track: Problem track |
| 145539 |  | Please can we have lighting all the way up to Charleston Academy Playing fields/ link with Assynt Road - this would allow an offroad safe route for cyclists and encourage active travel to the Sports Centre. The bushes on the path could be cut back as they are overgrown onto the path. Also this path gets quite icy in the winter can we please have a couple of grit boxes along the canal path. thanks | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 144696 |  | Lighting needed for darker months on this popular stretch for active travel. This is long overdue and would encourage use of this section all year round! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 142575 |  | Really enjoyed Millburn Road segregated bike lane yesterday - still a bit of work to do done on signage but great, great start. Cars drive a lot slower and nearer 30mph speed limit when down to one lane. The bridge/Castle St next? 👏👏👏 #spacesforpeople @HighlandCouncil t.co/JS9jbed3KO | Cycleway: Event cycleways |
| 140132 |  | Make a right-turn cut through with bike traffic lights for bikes, maybe even buses to avoid having to follow dual carriageway left and around the round-about on busy A82 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140131 |  | Each direction is a two way duel carriageway with single lane either end. Remove one lane each direction to create large cycle/walkway completely separate from road. Reduce speed limit to 30mph. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 140130 |  | This is the only gentle incline up the hill yet is one way. Remove on street B&B parking here and make two way for bikes and increase pavement, currently 1 foot wide. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137076 |  | Footpath to school disappears here. | Track: Problem track |
| 134786 |  | Lots of children use this road for cycle trips at the moment and it needs to be made safer. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134777 |  | It's a big job but this road needs to be improved to allow cyclists to enjoy the other side of the loch and open up another safe route to Corran Ferry. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134774 |  | A lot of of children use this road to cycle at the moment and it needs to be made safer for them. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134767 |  | The cycle path is disconnected here. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134761 |  | It needs to be easy and safe for children and staff to cycle to the high school. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 132684 |  | 20mph limit, add bike lanes both directions | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130426 |  | Cycleway ends at this point. Should continue to encourage use. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130419 |  | Very poor crossing at this location. Controlled crossing would save on very long waits for active travellers using the canalside. | Track: Problem track |
| 130411 |  | Inadequate crossings along the east side of this distributor road. Few controlled crossings in some areas and often set far off the desire line for those cycling and walking. More in better positions would benefit active travellers. | Track: Problem track |
| 130404 |  | Busy road that is unpleasant to cycle on (particularly uphill) both in terms of traffic and road surface. Adding a segregated cycle path here would link well to other cycling infrastructure and there is plenty space to fit this here. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130399 |  | Poor stretch of road for walking. Narrow pavements and unpaved in some parts. | Track: Problem track |
| 130396 |  | Narrow road with painted bike lanes encourages close passing. Segregated cycle lane to allow cycling in both directions would be safer and more useful for all users. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128555 |  | Add 20mph limit & cycleway | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128554 |  | Remove barrier, add traffic calming measure & proper cycle crossing/junction at path joining Dores Rd. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128550 |  | Add cycling contraflow. Remove parking on one side of the street in this area. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128548 |  | No traffic calming. Install drop curb and cycle crossing Riverside footpath into Portland Pl. | Track: Problem track |
| 128547 |  | There is no continuous cycleway. Create on road cycleway separate from pavement. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |

| 128536 |  | Busy road with 30 limit used as a rat run by traffic. Remove parking, add 20 limit & cycleway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128534 |  | Haugh/Island Bank/Dores road is a popular cycling & walking route. Busy road with narrow & sometimes no pavement. Add traffic calming/20 limit & cycleway. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128529 |  | Remove parking and add cycleways. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 128527 |  | Street has no room for cycle contraflow. Removing parking would create more space for walking & cycling. Closing street except for taxis would reduce congestion. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 128521 |  | Street has no room for cycle contraflow. Removing parking would create more space for walking & cycling. Closing street would reduce congestion. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 128520 |  | Street has no room for cycle contraflow. Removing parking would create more space for walking & cycling. Closing street would reduce congestion. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 128517 |  | A popular route for walking & cycling. Often lined with parked cars. The road does not need to be open to through car traffic. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 128515 |  | Pavement is narrow. Parked cars take up road space for cycling & walking etc. This is a busy route for walking & cycling. There is room to move residents parking spaces to Crown Avenue. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 128514 |  | Pavement is narrow. Parked cars take up road space for cycling & walking etc. This is a busy route for walking & cycling. There is room to move residents parking spaces to Crown Avenue. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 109555 |  | Site closed long before the cycle path was created - yet the designers still feel the need to make cyclists give way. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 109553 |  | It is important to read this sign - especially if you are hoping to ride along NCN route 78 to Fort William on a Sunday. Camusnagaul Ferry #83656 does to operate on Sundays and there are only 4 crossings/day on weekdays. The warning would be more useful on the Coran side - before you cross to Ardgour. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 109552 |  | Don't expect too much in terms of "facilities" on this stretch of the national cycle network. | General sign/notice: Problem signs |

| 63689 |  | The right turn from Culcabock Road into Kingsmills Road on NCN 1 & 7, with an Advance Stop Line with central feeder lane. I have to admit, this cycle lane does not represent the road position I would adopt for either turning right or proceeding straight ahead. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 63688 |  | The end of Diriebught Road and the ramp up to Culcabock Road. NCN 1 & 7 turn left here. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 63687 |  | The ramp down to Diriebught Road. This road has only has a few houses at this end, so doesn't have much motor traffic. However, it is a main walking and cycling route to Millburn Academy. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 63686 |  | The road crossing from the jug-handle in #63684 to Diriebught Road (down the ramp behind the railing, see #63687). Nearby traffic signals will break up the eastbound traffic, but there is no other help for crossing. This is one of the main routes to Millburn Academy. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 63685 |  | A "pathsinverness" route sign for the Eastern Links Route, presumably a walking route. I didn't notice any other signs of this nature. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
