No signalled crossings nearby, you have to use a traffic island or brave the drag racing traffic. Can be quite intimidating to cross at times.</p> <p>Hope the girls recover fully from their injuries, and that the culprit is found, arrested and charged. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16875#post-230891 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:02:45 +0000 chdot 230891@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Story updated -</p> <p>"</p> <p>Portobello Road has been closed in both directions following an apparent hit and run. Witnesses said two teenage girls, believed to be Italian students, had been injured and that a blue Golf sped off after knocking them down.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/hit-and-run-closes-portobello-road-1-4231704" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/hit-and-run-closes-portobello-road-1-4231704</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16875#post-230889 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:26:43 +0000 Klaxon 230889@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's a jointly named street like many of Edinburgh's old roads.
