Only the one bit where the lanes strangely disappear (where are the cyclists supposed to go?) spoils a nearly flawless implementation. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14949#post-190657 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 11:59:42 +0000 Greenroofer 190657@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Dave. I agree (although I may be slightly biased). It certainly feels as if cars are passing more slowly now, and giving more space than they used to.</p> <p>There was a bit of peevish hooting in front of me this morning when I think one car felt that a car coming the other way hadn't made enough room for it, but that's the only time I've seen any problems so far.</p> <p>Like you imply, I think this road has moved from the 'avoid if possible' category to the 'a useful link between A8 paths and points south'. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14949#post-190642 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 10:39:16 +0000 Dave 190642@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I went down the resurfaced / remastered bit of road to RBS from Currie this morning. Wow - what a difference in driver behaviour with no centre white line and cycle lanes on each side!</p> <p>I've always avoided the road as a write off rat run but now it's extremely pleasant.</p> <p>Small sample sizes etc. but nonetheless. </p>
