Bend radii should also be minimised, to allow pedestrians to have good sightlines from the shortest possible crossing points.</p> <p>Segregated cycle lanes should be included on Queensferry Rd. Parking should be prevented on the segregated lanes and adequate facilities should be provided at the junction to allow cyclists to safely and conveniently turn into and out of Learmonth Tce, as well as allowing pedestrians to cross safely.</em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17393#post-243962 Fri, 03 Mar 2017 12:47:41 +0000 neddie 243962@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Closes on <strong>Monday </strong>6th March.

There isn't exactly a shortage of space on that chunk of Queensferry Road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17393#post-241894 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 14:29:43 +0000 jonty 241894@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Unfortunately I think the design drawings will be done after the consultation is completed, which defeats the point slightly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17393#post-241878 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 11:10:35 +0000 PS 241878@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's a pretty shoddy visualisation, TBH. Whilst I'm all for pedestrians asserting their right to walk on the road, the girl on the right who seems to be walking down the middle of the north bound carriageway listening to tunes and checking her phone seems to be taking it a little too far.</p> <p>Best wait for the design drawings. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17393#post-241866 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 20:11:29 +0000 minus six 241866@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>segregated cycle lanes proposed - but "visualisation of the proposals" just shows the same tired old red asphalt strip without any segregation ?</p> <p>maybe i'm missing something </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17393#post-241860 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 18:59:39 +0000 jonty 241860@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>About time. However "during peak times, motor vehicles may have to wait for short periods behind cyclists using the<br /> cycle lanes, before passing them." Not sure how this would be an issue with <em>segregated</em> cycle lanes, which is what I understand are proposed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17393#post-241842 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 17:17:46 +0000 neddie 241842@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Walking and cycling improvements on Dean Park Crescent, Queensferry Road, Oxford Terrace and Learmonth Terrace</p> <p>We want to hear your views on our proposals for the junction of Dean Park Crescent and Queensferry Road, with associated improvements on Oxford Terrace and Learmonth Terrace.
