Gave the bike a buzz rather than a thunk thunk thunk. </p> <p>Given proximity to school I don't think they are unjustified, and they are certainly less of a problem than the brick ones up at Craigleith or at Magdalene.</p> <p>There is also a prominent "look both ways" painted in big letter at the foot of the steps. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17927#post-255081 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 12:15:20 +0000 davidsonsdave 255081@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, they have put the rumble strips right next to the SLOW signs. As far as rumble strips go, they are less disagreeable than the bricks they installed in the path near Craigleith. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17927#post-255071 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:37:56 +0000 fimm 255071@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is that the area where there are already big SLOW signs painted on the path? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17927#post-255070 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:37:34 +0000 chdot 255070@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll be passing later, will take photos. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17927#post-255068 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:25:22 +0000 Luath 255068@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To be honest, I hardly noticed any 'rumble' when I rode over them. They've also painted "look both ways" at the bottom of the steps.<br /> Shame the money wasn't spent on finishing the installation of the missing street light a few metres away. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17927#post-255067 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:25:18 +0000 Stickman 255067@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I believe that the school nearby had some justified complaints about speeding cyclists at that spot. </p> <p>Something needed to be done. </p> <p>This is something. </p> <p>Problem solved. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17927#post-255063 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 10:57:48 +0000 gibbo 255063@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Proper tactiles or Magdalene Monoblock?</em></p> <p>Comparable to those on downhill in Holyrood park. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17927#post-255062 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 10:55:07 +0000 gibbo 255062@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Oh God.

If I speed up it's better.</p> <p>The only thing they seem to do is add discomfort and, on occasions, reduce the ability to control the bike.
