There's a fairly nasty hole where a manhole cover should be, approx 1 k east of Kirkliston. Have reported and hopefully it'll be seen as a priority.</p> <p><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/QBbUQ5Qv9Q5JZS4x9"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cWeGhybpo5vDy9DTNYzQ4DLq2DLB1c48iPXResYnVJvcaSdv6ginhw-fhLLGJncwHziu1IzcqH02ZINV6xZSIW7i2TR1CGb5EhWSy5LBn_6oIWpJZQ0qfsCBm5Li9opAzMoKjvgkvQQ=w573-h763-no"></a></p> <p>[Admin edit: have fixed the photo link] </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12908&page=3#post-274529 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 14:40:44 +0000 I were right about that saddle 274529@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lothian buses take comments on driver behaviour very seriously. They'll want to know about any driver chatting to cyclists they pass. Buses are fitted with CCTV and microphones. If the person told you to watch out for the wheels of their eight tonne PSV....they shouldn't be driving one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12908&page=3#post-274528 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 14:31:17 +0000 davidsonsdave 274528@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@dougal Exactly what I thought as I was making the turn.</p> <p>@jdanielp Nothing parked up. I don't like to position myself any further right in that lane as the buses/lorries turning right from Home Street regularly encroach into the ASZ but never had a driver basically telling me to get out of the road.</p> <p>@GDR Just the normal standard of driving I'm afraid. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12908&page=3#post-274525 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 14:14:58 +0000 GDR 274525@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The other problem I find at that junction is the number of cars that appear to carry on through the lights even when they are changing or even against them. I have noticed this as a cyclist but also as a pedestrian. Don't know if it is a timing issue with the lights or if it is just the usual awful driving but on several occassions I have found myself sitting in the middle of the junction unable to turn right from Gilmore Place as drivers merrily keep coming across from Tarvit Street (this also happens to me a lot turning right at the foot of Comiston Road onto Cluny-suspect it is also rubbish driving). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12908&page=2#post-274518 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 13:46:39 +0000 jdanielp 274518@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@davidsonsdave other bus drivers routinely complete that left turn without crossing the lane divider. Was anything parked up on the pavement or was it just a super-cautious driver? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12908&page=2#post-274517 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 13:35:50 +0000 dougal 274517@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@davidsonsdave Would he have shouted the same thing at a driver? How would they have been able to "watch for the wheel of the bus"? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12908&page=2#post-274516 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 13:25:00 +0000 davidsonsdave 274516@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This morning, the driver of the number 27 filtering past in the left-hand lane actually opened his window to tell the cyclists waiting to turn right to "watch out for the wheel of the bus". </p> <p>I appreciate it is a tight turn but if it is not possible to make the turn without putting other people in danger, then perhaps he should have waited the few seconds it would have taken for the cyclists to move forward when the light changed.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRsobNRcIjM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRsobNRcIjM</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12908&page=2#post-274374 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 20:34:21 +0000 unhurt 274374@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, not in the edit released to the public. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12908&page=2#post-274356 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 18:32:17 +0000 jdanielp 274356@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo 12A?
