Exiting the M8, the M80 opens out. It's threaded through an open corridor in the outskirts of Glasgow. Up ahead, that looks like a big bridge...

Mind your head! The angle this bridge is built at and the curvature of the road give it a false perspective - from here it looks like the white van to the right has only just squeezed under. It's actually much further away: look for the shadow across the road further along and the scale of the railings along the bridge itself.

Approaching the end of the Stepps Bypass section, the road should continue ahead one day, but for now performs a handbrake turn to the right to end on the parallel A80. Notice the empty southbound carriageway to our right here.

Having passed through Cumbernauld, we approach the northern section of the M80. The exit for the A803 splits off, and instantly a third lane opens up to our right.

Some old and tired looking signs herald the M876's starting point. Notice the unusual arrows below the signs - not the usual wide lane designation ones, but circular signs more commonly found on one-way streets and roundabouts.

The final exit, towards Stirling and the Services, is signposted as the end of the M80. From here the only destinations are the A91 and the M9.
