As the world leaders arrive for COP26 there are some major disruptions to travel in Glasgow. More details are below.
The people of Glasgow are being notified by the council on how they can prepare for COP26. Some roads, footpaths and cycleways will be closed or access to them restricted due to security concerns during this international conference which begins on Sunday!
Maps are the best way to navigate your way around during an event like COP26. We’ve created a set of maps which show where you can expect there to be congestion linked with specific events, and also one for all roads closed as well so that people will know what they need when it comes time for their commute home after days full of meetings end! It is important not just plan routes beforehand but allow yourself more leeway in terms getting from point A-B-- leave earlier than necessary if needed due traffic or other factors such as public transport availability - without feeling too rushed at both ends since these resources take into account any potential delays caused by road closures.
