Brilliant👍thanks for sharing ❤

Used to drive this motorway frequently when I kept a boat on the West Coast. Didn't like driving through the busiest section in Glasgow, but relaxed a little once we were passed it. Always stopped at Harthill Services for a coffee when returning to Edinburgh to break the journey. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video 😀 the M8 is an interesting motorway, it also has some of the oldest and newest sections of motorway in Scotland

[@ashterfadgadget817]

No it's not. It's a boring, terrible motorway. There's nothing good about it at alll.

[@cxyroads]

It’s definitely not fun when you’re stuck in traffic on it… there’s nothing else in the country quite like the section through Central Glasgow though, it’s definitely unique

@@cxyroads M6 through Birmingham.

[@cxyroads]

It is urban and mostly elevated, yes - but the junctions on that bit of M6 definitely aren’t anywhere near as messy or close together, and there’s certainly no slip roads exiting or joining from the right hand side!

Great video, I know it’s a bit marmite but I love the section through Glasgow. It’s the Scottish version of Los Angeles with that going through the way it does 😁

[@cxyroads]

For sure, and there’s nothing else quite like it in the country, nothing else that carves through the centre of a city like the M8 does. I like it too, it’s spectacular… until you get stuck in traffic on it though haha, then it’s not fun at all 🫢

@@cxyroads I’ve been on it 3 times and been lucky on all 3 occasions Can’t believe they’re still working on those viaducts though, that must be at least 3 or 4 years they’ve been doing that

[@cxyroads]

Yeah, the footage is from September this year, those works have definitely been going on for quite a long time… I’ve been mostly lucky with M8 traffic bar 2 times, once around Livingston/Whitburn, and once on the central Glasgow section

[@cipyc2157]

WOW SLOW DOWN! YOU ARE DRIVING FAR TOO FAST!

[@cxyroads]

Don’t worry, the video is sped up to 5x normal speed. I was doing around about the speed limit the whole time, I promise 😉
