Hopefully if they're playing about with the settings there they might have a think about how to more permanently de-fankle it, imminent disruption and undecided future changes to Leith Street notwithstanding. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15267#post-195318 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 10:01:37 +0000 kaputnik 195318@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There are some junctions along the tram route which normally do one thing, unless there's a tram approaching (but still out of site). Gets a lot of people when the sequence changes to something unexpected. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15267#post-195317 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 09:56:54 +0000 Min 195317@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have noticed this happening before. I also noticed the other day that coming from Princes Street to turn onto North Bridge, the lights changed to amber as I rode through and must have instantly changed from North Bridge as I found a wall of traffic charging into my side. It used to be like this but I thought they had changed it. Makes sense (in a TiE type way) if they are being tinkered with manually. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15267#post-195313 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 09:45:18 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 195313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hate it when that happens - convinced someone has done something wrong, then check the footage, and no, they were perfectly fine (though with the camera it means I don't generally react at the time, so I don't make a fool of myself when it turns out they hadn't done anything wrong).</p> <p>Like they say in football, play to the whistle. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15267#post-195309 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 09:35:05 +0000 CJC 195309@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I just checked with @edintravel on twitter:</p> <p>"Engineers did a manual over-ride earlier to clear the queue on Princes St."</p> <p>So looks like a one off.</p> <p>But yes, very easy to get into habits. I was convinced the other vehicles must have jumped a red light, but checking my video shows they didn't! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15267#post-195302 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 09:19:07 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 195302@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wonder why that's happened... Thanks for the warning, easy to get into habits with these things. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15267#post-195301 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 09:17:54 +0000 CJC 195301@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A little warning: the traffic light sequence at the junction of North Bridge &amp; Princes St has changed.</p> <p>Previously: coming from North Bridge, left filter to Princes St would go green (then back to red), then the right light to Leith St would go green.</p> <p>This no longer happens and resulted in about 7 cyclists jumping the red light this morning (and almost getting run down by oncoming traffic). </p>
