However did not get chance to commit to memory. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218251 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:50:26 +0000 chdot 218251@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's responsible and responsible- this one sounds like it was down to whoever was doing the work - which probably wasn't CEC.</p> <p>Obviously there are guidelines/rules they were 'ignorant' of (and/or just common sense.)</p> <p>Clarence is the official way of reporting stuff, but sometimes that route seems slow...</p> <p>Twitter gets results, especially if things are 'serious' enough to add in Andrew Burns. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218237 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:13:42 +0000 The Boy 218237@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yup, saw that on my way home just now. Who at the council is responsible for stuff like this in general? It really was an appalling situation and totally avoidable.</p> <p>And it was clearly enough to make me go all green ink :s. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218221 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 14:59:00 +0000 biketrain 218221@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just been thru that Junction. All cones now off the road, so normal service at present. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218192 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 10:51:58 +0000 The Boy 218192@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Murun, the crossing in question is <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.928822,-3.292027,3a,75y,35.85h,63.28t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4ptZ8LkDU0UzDVfW81PxsQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656">here</a></p> <p>I'll email clarence for all the good it will do. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218190 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 10:49:20 +0000 Klaxon 218190@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd suggest classically this is a problem that could have been dealt with by Traffic Police Officers.</p> <p>Not that any exist any more. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218188 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 10:47:28 +0000 chdot 218188@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'Official advice' is</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20089/roads_and_pavements/1228/report_a_problem_with_a_traffic_signal" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20089/roads_and_pavements/1228/report_a_problem_with_a_traffic_signal</a></p> <p>But it its not a traffic light problem as such... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218182 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 10:25:49 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 218182@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Only nearby thing on this list <a href="http://edinburgh.cdmf.info/public/disruptions/list.htm" rel="nofollow">http://edinburgh.cdmf.info/public/disruptions/list.htm</a> seems to be Scottish Power? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218181 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 10:20:34 +0000 Disco Dave 218181@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aye, that's a shocker. Seems like no-one has had any sort of joined up thinking on that one. </p> <p>"Straight-on" drivers who are correctly stopping in the (forced into) middle lane when the left-hand lane shows red then get dog's abuse from drivers behind who want to turn right but can't seem to fathom the problem.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218180 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 10:19:30 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 218180@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>GSV link to the usual setup?

It's appalling. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218176 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 10:00:06 +0000 scotti 218176@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That would be the straight ahead traffic moving on the right turn filter. Not a good idea on a busy crossing, very dangerous </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16318#post-218167 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 09:26:07 +0000 The Boy 218167@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And how do I contact them? </p> <p>Was nearly killed this morning crossing on the green man. The straight ahead lane is closed due to roadworks and traffic in the middle (right turn) lane is carrying through when it shouldn't/ </p>
