For people who lived on Leven Terrace but were approaching it from Melville, would chuntering around to Valleyfield add extra clog to Tollcross? Would reversing Valleyfield be possible with the disinclination of anything going along Leven St to let anyone out of a side road? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14323#post-179824 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 13:54:56 +0000 Stickman 179824@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If in doubt, the usual answer is "maintain traffic flow". </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14323#post-179822 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 13:49:07 +0000 SRD 179822@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>only solution i can see is to make them one way in different directions. </p> <p>Can anyone see any reason why this wasn't done in the first place? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14323#post-179772 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 09:58:22 +0000 fimm 179772@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Permeable (to cyclists) block at the corner where Leven Terrace becomes Glengyle Terrace? (Actually this doesn't work as you'd have to make both roads two way - but then maybe that would slow traffic down and anyway if the roads cease to be through routes the only people driving on them would be people parking up near their flats so that wouldn't be such a problem.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14323#post-179767 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 00:43:15 +0000 kaputnik 179767@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Rebrand it the Quality Rat Run </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14323#post-179747 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:06:26 +0000 Fountainbridge 179747@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Make it 2 way with a couple chicanes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14323#post-179626 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 21:18:36 +0000 SRD 179626@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ih Bingo! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14323#post-179624 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 21:13:53 +0000 ih 179624@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How about some nice chicanes on the exit from Lonsdale Terrace set, let's say, about 4 metres apart. Should slow them down!</p> <p>@srd where do they nearly take you out? You're on Melville Drive and they're crossing M Drive into Leven Terrace? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14323#post-179618 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 20:47:20 +0000 SRD 179618@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This is a dreadful rat run. Drivers use Leven terrace / glengyle terrace to avoid toll cross/ kings junction. I presume so e of them start up on Lauriston place, come down through to Lonsdale place (haven't look at the options) and the. Cut across Melville drive to Leven terrace. About once a month some idiot nearly takes me out there. </p> <p>Any clever ideas on how to make it less tempting? Permeable infra? </p>
