Tips for travelling while the commonwealth games are taking place
Plan ahead - Traffic is likely to be heavier on the M8, M74, M77 and M80 leading to and from the event. Consider how your journey will be impacted, allow extra time for journeys and be prepared to adjust your travel plans. Check ahead using the Traffic Scotland route checker.
Share information and advice with family, friends, neighbours and colleagues so they can plan ahead, too.
Consider travelling at a different time - the busiest times will be just before and just after events taking place and during road events.
Public transport services will be busier than usual. For local journeys, walking or cycling may be the best option.
Check in with Glasgow City Council for the latest disruption information.
