Has anyone heard anything about this recently? Feels like it's fallen to the side when it could be massively useful. chdot on ""one-way street exemptions"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14505&page=2#post-322687 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 23:13:30 +0000 chdot 322687@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ ThisIsEdinburgh CycleAlex on ""one-way street exemptions"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14505&page=2#post-322685 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 22:43:48 +0000 CycleAlex 322685@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @SRD Rutland Street is part of CCWEL so should be coming soon (construction should start in May). re: ATAP, yep: <a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/2010/09/cec-active-travel-action-plan/" rel="nofollow">http://www.spokes.org.uk/2010/09/cec-active-travel-action-plan/</a>. Seems like a crazy amount of time considering most will purely be a couple of signs and some paint. Mildly depressing reading it ten years later:<blockquote>By April 2014, implement 13 major missing Family Network links, including early action on Innocent connection to Meadows, Roseburn to Princes St, North Edinburgh path to Botanics (east and west) and (many people will be delighted!) A90 route to Queensferry and Forth Bridge. Other of these links by 2014 include Meadows to North Edinburgh via city centre, Portobello to Leith to North Edinburgh, Union Canal to North Edinburgh paths. Outline designs for all these routes by April 2011.</blockquote> SRD on ""one-way street exemptions"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14505&page=2#post-322667 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 15:31:50 +0000 SRD 322667@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ this was in ATAP, wasn't it? so that's 10 years?

I would cycle the wrong way but there's a tad too many taxis that come flying around the corner. Erm, I mean my friend was thinking of... At least CCWEL will be bring in a contraflow on Canning Street, Rutland Street, Coates crescent and quite a few others. Should be done by the end of the year if all goes well!

I do that by cycling along Canning Street towards Shandwick Place including the 20 yards or so of one-way. In my mind's eye I can see the contraflow which any sane road policy would have to link the WAR to Shandwick Place. There's a secure car and cycle park under the buildings on Exchange Crescent, so this is reasonably busy. I understand that a contraflow is in some plans somewhere. wee folding bike on ""one-way street exemptions"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14505#post-311610 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 14:11:14 +0000 wee folding bike 311610@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Logan Pl in Kensington is now two way for bikes.

It is currently a "missing link" in a nice quiet route from Holyrood Park through the Grange towards Morningside.

" Main report 2. A Traffic Regulation Order was made in September 2000 to restrict traffic to one way in Forbes Road. The road was narrow and heavily parked and was not considered capable of sustaining two way traffic without causing congestion. The original proposal had been for a more extensive one-way system, including BruntsfieldGardens,butthiswas reducedfollowinglocalconsultations. 3. The Council’s Local Transport Strategy (Chapter 12C1) states: “There will be a presumption in favour of new traffic management schemes always incorporatingmeasuresfor cyclists, particularly:...exemptionsfrom road closures and new one-way streets.” 4. In accordance with the above policy, cyclists were exempt from the one-way system. ARoadSafetyAuditoftheproposedsystemsuggestedthatatraffic island be provided at the southern end of the one way system to protect cyclists. The system is illustrated in Appendix I . 5. A number of complaints about the operation of the system were received in the Department following its introduction and the matter was raised at the City Development Neighbourhood Group for Marchmont, Sciennes, Merchiston and North Morningside. The Group expressed the view that the contra-flow route was not safe for cyclists, due to it being narrow, with poor sight-lines for drivers on the curve and the fact that drivers did not expect to encounter cyclists coming in the opposite direction. It was reported that the Bruntsfield Primary PTA were advising parents not to allow children to use the route.
