Is there a sign for drivers to stop, get out and push?</p> <p>When I see signs like this. I have been known to stop, jump off the bike, stretch legs, have a drink and then hop back on again - I have thus "complied" with the sign.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1596#post-361496 Sat, 18 Jun 2022 12:14:04 +0000 Greenroofer 361496@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's an appalling, non-standard, Cyclists Dismount sign on Canaan Lane at the moment. It's there solely so workies can park their vehicles in the bike lane. </p> <p>It was there when I ignored it this morning, but by the time I returned 20 minutes later, someone had moved it out of the bike lane and leant it against a traffic island with text hidden.</p> <p>I wish I'd thought of that: the sign is wrong on so many levels. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1596#post-15419 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 10:47:12 +0000 cb 15419@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had wondered if PM might be someone on here, although I suppose they'd come here to vent their frustration rather than SMS the Metro. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1596#post-15408 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 09:32:44 +0000 SRD 15408@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Even I (known fondly as 'the traffic warden' to my family), think this is a bit over the top. Perhaps the most charitable interpretation is that she has had experience of cyclists riding into her as she dismounts, or having people swerve, cursing around her? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1596#post-15405 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 09:28:54 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 15405@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not sure where you mean, but of course unless it involves a pavement the 'Cyclists Dismount' signs are purely advisory.</p> <p>Actually, someone should also point out to the woman doing the shouting that it is indeed the <em>Cyclists</em> who dismount, unless the bikes are riding ont he back of some very confused people. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1596#post-15395 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 09:06:07 +0000 chdot 15395@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I wonder how many people do dismount here. </p> <p>There is now a through route via the station car park. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1596#post-15393 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 08:47:57 +0000 cb 15393@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"To the woman who passes me at the roadworks at Haymarket Yards every day and insists on calling out 'bicycles dismount' just as I'm about to dismount, get a life!<br /> PM, Edinburgh"</p> <p>From today's Metro. </p>
