Could have been that given how northerly it is. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11670#post-133428 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:49:05 +0000 EddieD 133428@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>" does it just help the belief that the A9 is a dangerous road which needs improved"</p> <p>I don't think that it's that bit that's scheduled for being improved, but they'll lump all the stats together to show it's danger. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11670#post-133425 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:35:13 +0000 sallyhinch 133425@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dangerous to cyclists too <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-24970955" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-24970955</a> </p> <p>(seems a child seat - complete with three-year-old - is no protection) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11670#post-133424 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:16:50 +0000 slowcoach 133424@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"no-one was thought to have been injured in the incident" which supports the theory that roundabouts have lower severities of accidents (for motorists) even though there may be more accidents.<br /> It also raises the question why this made the news - does it just help the belief that the A9 is a dangerous road which needs improved? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11670#post-133383 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 15:01:26 +0000 crowriver 133383@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Clearly this must have been caused by an RLJing, headphone wearing cyclist. Oh, it was on a roundabout? Aren't they supposed to be safer?</p> <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-24999507" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-24999507</a> </p>
