And then when they go to green, you put the pedal to the metal and listen intently in case the lead driver behind you thinks it's their green. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19346#post-334065 Thu, 16 Jul 2020 10:14:34 +0000 CycleAlex 334065@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Noticed that the junction at Liberton Gardens/Liberton Brae/Liberton Drive has been resurfaced and has advanced cycle signals now. Pavement widened and two stage crossings upgraded to single stage too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19346#post-298127 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 14:02:07 +0000 Frenchy 298127@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Also, why the bike lanes are only active down that stretch until 9:30AM I don't know either. </em></p> <p>It's worse than that - it's 9:15am! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19346#post-298126 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 13:48:48 +0000 SRD 298126@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@i thank you. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19346#post-298123 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 13:11:10 +0000 toomanybikes 298123@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"turning onto Mayfield Road from KB is a particular problem"</p> <p>Urgh, tell me about it. I come out of the exit up near the lights and had to wait for about 10 cars to pull up to the red light before I could get a gap behind traffic to go yesterday. </p> <p>I don't think I'll ever understand the unwavering desire some people have to get 10 metres further down the road before they have to stop anyway. It's like an inverse strong nuclear force, pulling in from distance and then repelling. </p> <p>Also, why the bike lanes are only active down that stretch until 9:30AM I don't know either. That's before peak academic cycle commuting hours into KB. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19346#post-298095 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 00:01:41 +0000 Frenchy 298095@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll also say that drivers, so far, have been surprisingly observant. Very few go when the bike green comes on, the driver of the number 7 bus I got tonight being a notable exception. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19346#post-298094 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 23:59:25 +0000 Frenchy 298094@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I use this junction every day.</p> <p>I also suggested this, amongst other things, to the council a few mmonths ago. I'm extremely annoyed that they've implemented a fairly minor improvement whilst completely ignoring far more significant improvements such as pedestrian crossings on Kirk Brae and Mayfield Road.</p> <p>Actual experience though: The head start itself is more helpful than I was expecting. I can now get from Mayfield Road to Kirk Brae before the "real" traffic catchrs up, which makes it far easier to take a strong position up the hill.</p> <p>However, it's still really difficult to actually filter to the front, making it hard to take advantage of any improvement. Indeed, traffic seems to back up further on Mayfield Road than it did before, making it take more light cycles to get through the junction (turning onto Mayfield Road from KB is a particular problem). I can only hope tthis will improve as traffic displaces oon to other routes</p> <p>All in all, not much use in this particula location without other improvements. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19346#post-298090 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 22:38:32 +0000 i 298090@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Kirk Brae and Blackford Glen Rd also ends here. Try these coordinates. 55.919980, -3.167486 </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19346#post-298088 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 22:19:27 +0000 SRD 298088@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm struggling to identify this junction. Possibly what you mean by 'near cameron toll' is different to what I mean by that? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19346#post-298087 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 22:11:17 +0000 i 298087@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Near Cameron Toll, the junction where Mayfield Rd and Liberton Gardens meet, there are new traffic lights with avanced green for bikes. About 2 seconds headstart. I suggested this to a councillor a couple months back.</p> <p>Has anyone had the chance to try it out? I'm curious about how well it works, especially on the hill start. And in general how well it works at other junctions. </p>
