Trying not to be carnaptious all of the time - single malt, photography, books, music, cycling and walking help keep me sane.

It would seem that Glasgow has some way to go before placing pedestrians at the top of the hierarchy of road users.
Basically what this sign says is cyclists should ping their bells or shout and pedestrians should get out their way “politely”.

It even says make yourself visible!
Are pedestrians expected to wear dayglo yellow?

They are relatively safe as long as cyclists (and pedestrians) behave prudently and courteously according to the path. That's not always the case. The guidelines / regulations should be improved and possibly sanctions threatened? Easier said than done when cycle networks aren't always on public highways (eg the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath).

Certainly for commuting I'd agree, what about cyclists who also want to use a more relaxed route to decompress? Strikes me that's about wider safer paths with differentiated lanes. That takes major investment over years to achieve. And round we go again....
