So perhaps the croc leaves and then the bull shows up to add insult (&amp; goring) to injury? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18119#post-260177 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 13:02:07 +0000 ih 260177@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm puzzled by these bull and croc signs. Doesn't the red circle with red diagonal mean 'do not do what's illustrated in the circle'. So are the signs aimed at bulls and crocs forbidding them from goring or eating pedestrians? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18119#post-260170 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 12:18:30 +0000 unhurt 260170@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That bull (buffalo?) is clearly feeling judged.
