- The Southside is south of the Clyde, outside Glasgow's city-centre Low Emission Zone. The river is the zone's southern edge, so you only need to think about it if you cross into the centre.
- On Hampden event days, parking around Mount Florida is restricted. Avoid dropping a car off at a G42 garage on those days if you can.
- Many of the MOT centres here are on side streets and in small units, for example around Shawbridge Street in Pollokshaws. Use the Directions link and check opening times before you go.
