Tells the next person more than we knew from the map for you. Let me know which you used, edit the map data yourself, or put a note on the map in this place to say what needs to be recorded:<br /> <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes#Adding_notes" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes#Adding_notes</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17908#post-254820 Tue, 11 Jul 2017 09:39:26 +0000 crowriver 254820@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well the bike parking facilities were very good, conveniently located, plentiful. Would be better with covered stands of course but you can't have everything.</p> <p>If only the lower part of Belford Road wasn't such a tricky road to cycle on: too much traffic , narrow, blind bends, guardrails everywhere. On the other hand the wee bike cut throughs to the upper part were a boon. Also as it's blocked to general traffic at Dean bridge end it's very pleasant. I'd forgotten about those cut throughs: they really help and I recall what it was like before they closed that part, not so nice.. Quite a few similar features in west end, e.g., western part of Queen Street. WE could do with more blocking of side streets with cycle cut throughs, such a simple intervention. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17908#post-254740 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 09:07:40 +0000 crowriver 254740@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks folks! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17908#post-254735 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 22:43:52 +0000 rbrtwtmn 254735@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nothing to stop one setting up the Overpass Turbo site to show capacity instead of course... it's all in the query at the left of the page: <a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/qhT" rel="nofollow">http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/qhT</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17908#post-254732 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 21:17:31 +0000 chdot 254732@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"The cycling layer shows the number, but only if there are more than 20."</p> <p>Ah</p> <p>Ta </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17908#post-254731 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 21:07:35 +0000 Frenchy 254731@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah, yeah, with you now.</p> <p>The cycling layer shows the number, but only if there are more than 20. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17908#post-254729 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 20:23:21 +0000 chdot 254729@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"It probably wouldn't be much fun if a popup appeared every time you clicked on the map."</p> <p>Wouldn't need to be a popup.
