    The Project is delivering improvements at East Dunbartonshire’s biggest and busiest roundabout.

    Canniesburn Toll roundabout is a key part of the local transport network that connects four very busy A-roads.

    The project has delivered a range of improvements including:

    • New traffic signals
    • Improved pedestrian crossing facilities
    • Provision of new parking area to service existing businesses
    • Drainage systems upgrade
    • Upgrades to street lighting
    • Changes to the footway and carriageway surface in the vicinity of Canniesburn Toll.

    The main work to improve the roundabout is now complete and the new signalised lights are being connected and commissioned.

    Please refer to the latest Technical Note for a fuller update.

    Project Background

    The Council is progressing plans to deliver improvements at Canniesburn Toll, creating a better environment for all road users.

    The Council's approved Local Transport Strategy 2020-2025 sets out the ambition to improve Canniesburn Toll and the surrounding area for all modes of travel – building on commitments made through planning conditions agreed in the local area.

    The design will better manage queues and flows of traffic (through improved signal technology in the immediate area) and includes:

    • An inclusive design, in accordance with national and local policy and The Equality Act (2010), with improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists
    • Traffic lights on each immediate approach to the roundabout with pedestrian crossing provision
    • Upgrade of traffic lights at the Canniesburn Road/Drymen Road junction to improve signal operation
    • Provision of shared-use sections for pedestrians and cyclists to aid navigation of the roundabout
    • Parking provision for businesses on the Toll, with a blue badge bay and cycle parking
    • Retention of surrounding bus stops, helping to support public transport
    • Measures to improve known issues with drainage, incorporating Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS)
    • Resurfacing the wider area on approach to Canniesburn Toll.
