This will be a mostly harmless device which will shorten cars to say 3 metres. Obviously this could be adapted for example if your car was very long and you were also an ignorant driver giving scant regard to other road users (bikers, cyclists, scooters, pedestrians Etc) a simple twist of the dial could extend the crushing period and bring your car down to 2.5 metres.</p> <p>Clearly if people were willing to car share The Crusher would be unnecessary. Sadly given The Situation we live in, with the world all Swift and Angular and anomie raging everywhere it turns out everyone must have their own car. So shorter cars is the clear solution. I also would suggest that bringing in a congestion charge linked to vehicle length is another winner. Cars of 2.5 metres or less need not pay the charge. For example.</p> <p>Bring on The Crusher. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19103#post-290745 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 09:58:28 +0000 dessert rat 290745@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>walked out of the office this morning to find a small bee trapped in a vortex of wind in the office doorway.

Looks promising - utilises several modal filters.

It will run along quiet roads parallel to Morningside Road.</p> <p>In order to implement this proposed route road closures would be introduced at various locations to remove through traffic. </p> <p>At its southern end the route runs along Hermitage Avenue between Braid Road and Hermitage Gardens. With Braid Road closed this link is lightly trafficked, however, were Braid Road opened this might require further intervention to ensure it was safe.</p> <p>The proposed Greenbank to Meadows QR has been designed so as to cut out rat-running traffic from streets between Cluny Gardens and Comiston Road with strategic closures shown in the map overleaf (below). This would include diagonal closures at the junctions of Braid Road &amp; Braid Crescent, and the junction of Cluny Drive &amp; Hermitage Gardens, as well as a modal filter on Braid Avenue. With Braid Road closed, these further interventions would effectively eliminate traffic cutting through residential streets between Cluny Gardens and Comiston Road.</p> <p>As part of Greenbank to Meadows QR It is also proposed to introduce two closures on Whitehouse Loan. One immediately south of Strathearn Road, the other immediately south of Bruntsfield Crescent. These closures will enable safe cycling on Whitehouse Loan and reflect proposals which have been put forward by local community group ‘Blackford Safer Streets’.</blockquote> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17561#post-245805 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 19:40:22 +0000 Stickman 245805@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://consult.scotland.gov.uk/road-policy/improving-parking-in-scotland/" rel="nofollow">https://consult.scotland.gov.uk/road-policy/improving-parking-in-scotland/</a></p> <p><em><strong>Due to the complex nature of parking </strong>and level of concerns that were raised by stakeholders in relation to Ms White's Bill, the Scottish Government set out a general intention to use the powers devolved by the Scotland Act 2016 to legislate on parking.

Eastbound access will be reduced to 1 lane. Be aware of vehicles overtaking within the narrow and uphill remaining lane. A dismount will be necessary westbound, and it will not be possible to rejoin the road until after North Bridge, as traffic lights will be altered.</blockquote></p> <p>is it even possible to access Waterloo Place eastbound, if you are coming from North Bridge? The right-hand lane is coned off, and the usual ASL at the end of WP was blocked by hoarding last week, and so the green light from NB seems to be only for traffic going to Leith Street. I ended up jumping off my bike at the lights, and walking up WP instead.</p> <p>The annoyingly fiddly workaround appears to be to forgo NB and get yourself across to George IV Bridge, the Mound, Market St and Waverley Bridge, and turn right eventually to get to Princes St eastbound for the straight run to WP. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17899#post-254566 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 14:23:24 +0000 Harts Cyclery 254566@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think I might go insane if I read about another new cycle hire scheme somewhere in the UK whilst Edinburgh still goes without.

Who is delivering it? Has it been scoped out? How many bikes?</p> <p>Hoping someone has the inside track to restore my confidence that this will happen.

I let two bikes come past with the wind behind them. I operate on a principal that if the oncoming bike is over half way it has right of way and I let it pass. I push bike against railing and stand on the wall. If I am over half way and a bike comes on going in the other direction I feel I therefore have right of way.</p> <p>Sometimes there is a 50/50 too close to call e.g. if you both come on at the same time. Then it is usually who cracks first or indeed both parties stopping.</p> <p>I always give way to people on foot.</p> <p>Other etiquettes are available. E..g if on railing side (ie heading east) yu should always give way. Mixed etiquettes can lead to some minor unpleasantness.</p> <p>The sign says dismount, this is largely ignored.</p> <p>Does anyone else have a view [admittedly I have bored myself by this point in the post but in the spirit of our little community, go on, let me know] </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18147#post-260847 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 10:42:43 +0000 HankChief 260847@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A thread for the Community Links Plus Finalist 2017.</p> <p>But will it win funding?</p> <p>(I'm sure we've talked about this before but can't find a thread)</p> <p><em>"Meadows to George Street-Places for People - City of Edinburgh Council. This project proposes to create a direct cycle link between The Meadows and George Street, as well as the Old and New towns of the city centre along Hanover Street, The Mound, Bank Street, North Bank Street, George IV Bridge and Forrest Road. If successful, the ‘Meadows to George Street’ project aims to provide a major redesign for walking and cycling in the city, creating safe, coherent and attractive routes through the city centre.

Stolen by Edinburgh based Roamanians? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9345#post-98125 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 11:35:24 +0000 chdot 98125@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BBkVwJhCAAAloTe.jpg"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BBkVwJhCAAAloTe.jpg"></a></p> <p>Edit</p> <p>Can’t remember what this image was. </p> <p>Came from Twitter and since deleted. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14856#post-189184 Fri, 22 May 2015 18:19:50 +0000 Angus 189184@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The current Causey proposals are here:<br /> <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/jh9yxevidxh6kta/IFL%20Exhibition%20Boards%20250315.pdf?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/s/jh9yxevidxh6kta/IFL%20Exhibition%20Boards%20250315.pdf?dl=0</a></p> <p>I think that it makes sense to include a segregated cycle lane in the proposals rather than as presently proposed suggesting cyclists and traffic cohabit in "shared space".</p> <p>If this was done it would strengthen the argument for upgading the rest of the QBiC from its current piss-poor state...</p> <p>I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any detailed factual review/evaluation of the QBiC that I can wave at the Council/designers to bolster the case? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21538#post-374996 Thu, 16 May 2024 16:55:01 +0000 pringlis 374996@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>At the end of my tether with drivers on mobiles. I walk or cycle from Blackford Pond to Comiston Road to Canaan Lane and back on the school run most days and every single day I see at least one person on their phone while driving, usually more. I've gotten into a shouting match with drivers a few times, including yesterday with someone on Comiston Road who was using their phone AND smoking while edging up the queue outside the school, each time leaving the classic "WhatsApp gap" and then coming perilously close to the car in front as they accelerated forward, all just as they got to the traffic lights where kids at SMPS cross. I usually let it slide but when it's in front of a school I often feel I should say something. Probably shouldn't, especially as the kids are with me... though they're used to it now!</p> <p>It's all fruitless though, I know it, as very few drivers would change their behaviour based on a random man in the street telling them to stop, and the chances of them being caught by the police are incredibly low. Without a reporting portal, what can I actually do?</p> <p>Is it worth filming them and reporting to the police, or is that unlikely to result in any action? I feel like with the scale of it there's little point... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16009#post-210669 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 10:36:23 +0000 Min 210669@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have just been standing on North Bridge waiting for a bus and the northmost stop southbound has a large tarmac "ye'll have had yer tea" patch which is about 3" lower than the rest of the road. The bridge was shaking very alarmingly every time a bus went over this. Just how much of a pounding can this bridge really take? What would happen if North Bridge were to close? </p>
