I think they've taken away a controlled pedestrian crossing that was at the southern end of the site.</p> <p>There's now a beautifully helpful pair of signs on the eastern pavement, both saying "Pedestrians", but with arrows pointing in opposite directions. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18387#post-267364 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 17:10:41 +0000 Min 267364@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Southeastish.

Often heard about it, never put corner to name. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18387#post-267354 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 15:37:38 +0000 Sherlotte 267354@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi folks, </p> <p>I was with the cyclist until the paramedics arrived. Pretty sure it was the sign scaffold as Min said above. She was pretty confused but mostly seemed ok.</p> <p>Have reached out to the cyclist; will update if I hear back from her. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18387#post-267263 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 20:28:59 +0000 I were right about that saddle 267263@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good's Corner. That is badly done that stuff, not too much of a surprise. Hope the victim recovers and the builders rethink. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18387#post-267259 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 19:53:12 +0000 Min 267259@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Close to where it meets Liberton Road, alongside where the old cottage used to be. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18387#post-267258 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 19:47:22 +0000 I were right about that saddle 267258@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Where about on Gilmerton Road Min? There's a few nasty roadworks along its length. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18387#post-267253 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 19:18:18 +0000 Min 267253@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To clarify, when I say sign I mean only the invisible grey frame was present. The actual sign was lying on the ground. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18387#post-267252 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 19:06:04 +0000 Min 267252@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just before 6pm tonight. Passers by in attendance and taxi driver helpfully using his taxi as a shield.<br /> Cyclist was concious and moving so hopefully not too badly hurt. If I was to guess I would say a haorribly placed road sign was likely to have been responsible. </p> <p>Get well soon. </p>
