But truth is, they just dont give a sh*t.</p> <p>When I explain it, i'm told "we can't please every one"</p> <p>Transport Scotland, and their sub-contractors, are totally unaccountable, and if i'm wrong could someone please explain otherwise. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16284#post-217374 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:35:03 +0000 scotti 217374@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've reported it. The offending sign is warning of the "new road layout" so not really essential </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16284#post-217351 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:33:53 +0000 Tulyar 217351@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Report this formally as a hazard? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16284#post-217268 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 15:00:54 +0000 crowriver 217268@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"guess where they've stuck the poles?

Yes you've guessed it in the shared path. Near the golf course entrance there is a double pole arrangement halving the width of the path.<br /> What stupid idiots approve these things? </p>
