If I didn't plan in advance but find that traffic from West Port to the Grassmarket is bunged solid for more than one light sequence I'll dismount, walk to the kerb outside Sainbury then re-mount and head off west in order to escape up Lauriston St. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10445#post-114261 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:45:39 +0000 SRD 114261@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks. was hoping that the 'no turns' didn't apply to cyclists. Otherwise quite tricky to find a quite way to Lauriston Place. Impossible, in fact, if option is earl Grey to Brougham - just what I was trying to avoid by going that way. </p> <p>Guess I'll stick to getting off and walking across the street. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10445#post-114259 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:40:49 +0000 Arellcat 114259@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Right turns from Bread Street into either Lauriston Street or Lady Lawson St aren't legal manoeuvres.</p> <p>You could however turn hard right from Bread St into East Fountainbridge, then left to cut through to High Riggs, and then right into Lauriston Street...but then you're as well to not bother with Bread St at all and just point your bike at Earl Grey St and Brougham Place (or anywhere else in the vicinity). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10445#post-114258 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:39:31 +0000 algo 114258@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've always assumed that the no right turn sign appiled there for Lauriston street, mainly due to the angle of the right turn you'd have to make. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10445#post-114253 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:25:41 +0000 SRD 114253@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you're coming from Morrison St - Bread St - West Port, is it legal to turn right up Lauriston St? </p> <p>I started to do this today, then got confused by the no turn/no entry signs. </p> <p>There is this no turns sign <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/Zf1M3" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/maps/Zf1M3</a> </p> <p>And then badly placed no entry signs that i think only apply to High Riggs, but which always confuse me. </p>
