Steep hill plus traffic with attitude. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13143#post-159728 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:34:57 +0000 ggovan 159728@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dear me, that's close to home! My house in that shot.</p> <p>I failed to get a good look at this coming in. Didn't spot a bike or rider. Best of luck to them.</p> <p>For what it's worth I've only once, in four years, had a problem with this junction.</p> <p>* It looks like they've now moved the lorry onto Gardner's crescent proper and reopened Morrision Street. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13143#post-159727 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:26:02 +0000 chdot 159727@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>EN pic changed</p> <p><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3876/14661717186_2a956e1385.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13143#post-159726 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:10:46 +0000 chdot 159726@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"best not to speculate"</p> <p>Yeah (almost) a CCE rule in such circumstances. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13143#post-159725 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:08:28 +0000 kaputnik 159725@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Perhaps cyclist came up the hill from Dewar Place and lorry turned left off Morrison Street at same time?

I sincerely hope they are OK, it's a horrible turn visibility wise and a dreadful crossing for pedestrians too, with no lights you just have to try work out the vehicle phases and scurry across as best as you can. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13143#post-159721 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 16:44:41 +0000 chdot 159721@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>A Cyclist has been receiving medical treatment on the road after being hit by a lorry in Edinburgh city centre this afternoon.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/morrison-street-closed-after-cyclist-hit-by-lorry-1-3481430" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/morrison-street-closed-after-cyclist-hit-by-lorry-1-3481430</a> </p>
