I was easily able to keep up with a queue of traffic following a bus, anyway. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243469 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 18:56:12 +0000 Fountainbridge 243469@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One sign had blown over yesterday, this was the other one.</p> <p>I have a feeling that when a lane closure is over a certain distance, "cyclist dismount" signs are required. Same rules that if over a longer distance, must use convoy system. Don't ask me where I got this from though. </p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/R6XrZN"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2358/32228882724_0ac0518e2d_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/R6XrZN">170222151839IMG_8372</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/130059894@N04/">Paul fae Fountainbridge</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243417 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 11:22:39 +0000 Stickman 243417@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I thought we were the Powers That Be? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243412 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 10:50:40 +0000 fimm 243412@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Indeed, the signs have gone!!<br /> (Do the Powers That Be read CCE? ;-) ) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243378 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 20:39:55 +0000 Ed1 243378@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I noticed the yellow sign at 430 pm out the bus window and wondered what it meant </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243376 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 20:10:32 +0000 gowgowuk 243376@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>signs removed tonight! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243330 Wed, 22 Feb 2017 11:57:23 +0000 gowgowuk 243330@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, I didn't dismount this morning, but got someone beeping their horn behind me... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243306 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 21:59:12 +0000 Rosie 243306@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's similar to the works in Fountainbridge which were there for months &amp; there was no sign. Light-controlled single lane. No big deal, just a little disconcerting the first time you come across it. There's a good long time for each lane to move, so everyone gets through.</p> <p>Makes the road easier to cross as well. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243304 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 21:54:38 +0000 fimm 243304@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Having had another look this evening, I don't think the signs are anything to do with accessing the Lidl path but are there so that the all-important motorist isn't inconvenienced by having to slow down for some pleb on a bike. On a section of road that will have a 20mph speed limit at the end of the month... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243302 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 21:51:12 +0000 Rosie 243302@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I came along there this evening east to west &amp; did dismount &amp; walked along the pavement. About half the cyclists I saw did the same as the barricades look formidable and fortress-like. Can't see any real reason for the sign though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243283 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 16:40:47 +0000 wingpig 243283@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I didn't see any signs coming out of Murieston Crescent this morning but the reduction of lanes at the Haymarket end of Dalry Road had vehicles backed-up to Maplin. Wonder if any will evaporate over the course if the works... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243245 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 10:03:32 +0000 fimm 243245@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Noticed the signs yesterday evening - as I'm going straight up and down the Dalry Road I won't be dismounting, thank you very much. I assume, as gowgowuk says, that it is to do with cyclists wanting to access the path round the back of Lidl. I see quite a few cyclists doing this. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243241 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 09:26:15 +0000 gowgowuk 243241@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Confused by the signage this morning. Going in the SW direction (from Lidl towards Murieston Crescent), there is a "Cyclist dismount" sign. Is this only for the cyclist wanting to take the cycle path at the back of Lidl, or cyclist going along Dalry Road? I dismounted, walked on the pavement, but then there is no crossing to go into Murieston Crescent... (not sure I am explaining clearly, but hopefully someone will understand what I mean) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17450#post-243065 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 15:47:12 +0000 fimm 243065@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well I should have jfgi...<br /> <a href="http://edinburgh.cdmf.info/public/disruptions/list.htm" rel="nofollow">http://edinburgh.cdmf.info/public/disruptions/list.htm</a></p> <p>DALRY ROAD A70 Sighthill/Gorgie<br /> Between Murieston Road and Downfield Lane<br /> Clancy Docwra<br /> Gorgie to Haymarket cable installation for Scottish Power (running until April 2017).<br /> Lane closures and 2-way temporary traffic lights.

Is there somewhere on the Council website where one can find out more? </p>
