For Glasgow southside commuters, you've probably seen the big yellow signs but Eglinton Street is going to be one lane each way from Monday I think .
Evening times linkMight make it easier to get through the traffic if its all queued in one big line
If you overtake a black hybrid with mismatched mudguards and a Comic Relief red nose on your travels, its probably me...
