With the signs moved forward from the old No Entry and the clearer markings (and an open Calton Road...) compliance seems better now. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241902 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 15:06:57 +0000 neddie 241902@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"No entry" means to your average OLA motorist, "Uh oh, there might be another vehicle coming the other way and they might get all angry and beepy with me"</p> <p>"Motor vehicles prohibited" means to your average OLA motorist, "Meh, they just banned cars for no reason and nothing will be there anyways, I'll just shoot through quickly while no ones watching" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241901 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 14:59:52 +0000 Klaxon 241901@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Haha, not that long. Signs gone in 2012 streetview - removed in error and not replaced until now?</p> <p>I immensely dislike the use of 'no motor vehicles' in this context. Far less visual impact than 'no entry' and far more ignorance of what the sign means </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241900 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 14:51:23 +0000 jonty 241900@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Klaxon - how long have you been watching the TROs? It's been prohibited since before 2008 <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/eVnw57UoHPv">apparently</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241899 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 14:40:56 +0000 Frenchy 241899@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>There's no one way signs at the Regents Road end, as far as I'm aware.

I've fixed that now. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241880 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 12:00:02 +0000 dougal 241880@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's marked Calton Hill on maps, which I always think is unnecessarily confusing, but it's the sharply-inclined cobbled street that the lorry came a-tumbling down and smashed the wall. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241879 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 11:22:23 +0000 Frenchy 241879@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>one-way from Regent Road</em></p> <p>Which bit do you mean here? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241876 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 10:46:05 +0000 dougal 241876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Might be better to make Calton Road one-way northbound rather than southbound..."</p> <p>Will this be any more effective than the one-way from Regent Road that gets ignored? The whole junction needs a significant rework if anything is to stick. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241861 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 19:03:50 +0000 mgj 241861@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So, which route are cyclists heading south to go? And it doesn't address the main issue, which is that slow moving cycle traffic heading up Leith St is cut across by fast cars heading down Calton Road, which could be addressed by such traffic being directed to be in the current 'turn left only down to Omni car park' lane, further back. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241858 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 18:40:02 +0000 Klaxon 241858@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The devil really will be in the detail with this one but once again concerned to see removal of pavements being proposed for a through road - one that currently has cars nearly taking off as they launch down the hill. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241857 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 18:35:44 +0000 crowriver 241857@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hm. Not sure about the shared surface idea. Won't stop rat-running. Junction needs to be redesigned really to force drivers to reduce speed coming from Leith Street. Might be better to make Calton Road one-way northbound rather than southbound... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17392#post-241841 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 17:15:31 +0000 neddie 241841@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Walking and cycling improvements on Calton Road leading to Waverley Station</p> <p>We want to hear your views on a proposed shared surface on Calton Road between St Ninian’s Row and Leith Street.
