Or does Morning side road need to be removed now that there is more than circumstantial evidence that it poses a risk to pedestrians? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18434#post-268824 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 22:26:39 +0000 Morningsider 268824@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>gembo - I did wonder about that, the bike looked more placed than crashed. At first I thought a cycling medic had stopped to help, but assumed the BBC had more information than I gleaned from a quick passing glance. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18434#post-268821 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 22:14:10 +0000 gembo 268821@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is this now being described as pedestrian falling in front of bus? This is on BBC website. In the photo you can see a bike lying on the pavement? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18434#post-268666 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 20:06:07 +0000 Morningsider 268666@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I passed the incident on Morningside Road, didn't stop as there were already lots of people in attendance. Best wishes to the cyclist involved.</p> <p>A horrible section of road, made worse by the bus stop being on the inside of three lanes of traffic. Not the first time I have thought "What on earth am I doing cycling here?" at that point. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18434#post-268662 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 19:35:26 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 268662@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And another:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-42230446" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-42230446</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18434#post-268657 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 18:08:04 +0000 GDR 268657@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hope they are ok. I live just along the road and use this junction daily. It is pretty bad. Its a box junction but is usually blocked so cars are often moving through the junction even when the lights are against them. The South side of Greenbank Drive is effectively a car park which considerably narrows the road. Also, despite the narrowness of the road it is extremely fast. When turning from Comiston Road onto Greenbank Drive you need to swing out to get round the cars that are parked pretty close to the junction. This places you in the stream of traffic which often comprises impatient tall gaters (most of whom have probably totally ignored the 20 mph limit on Comiston Road). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18434#post-268649 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 16:46:06 +0000 Stickman 268649@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/cyclist-injured-in-collision-with-car-on-greenbank-drive-1-4630652" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/cyclist-injured-in-collision-with-car-on-greenbank-drive-1-4630652</a></p> <p>Hope this isn't serious. </p>
