These signs are mandatory even if they are flashing outwith school times – you must obey, as they have a red circle. Only when you pass another speed limit sign can you exceed the 20 mph speed limit, as and when road conditions safely allow.

Tips from our Instructors – Milngavie

Junction at Baldernock Road and Glasgow Road crossroads – a high number drivers will try and turn right onto Glasgow Road without giving way to traffic going straight ahead from Baldernock Road.

Travelling north along dual carriageway on Main Street heading onto Woodburn Way the outside lane is clearly marked that vehicles have to emerge to the left hand lane, when safe to do so. Unfortunately many drivers choose to ignore the high way code at this point and choose to move to the left hand lane without the due care to other road users, so be extra careful when approaching the junction.

Milngavie attracts a high number of cyclists as there are cycle lanes in both directions on Main Street. Keep well back and give the cyclist enough space when overtaking, so that you don’t cause the cyclist to feel unsafe. Treat a cyclist as you would do with a slow moving vehicle.
