When heading east, the queue of cars for the traffic lights often wave/flash their lights to allow westbound vehicles to go ahead and turn up Murrayfield Avenue, or exiting vehicles to turn westbound. But of course, no-one checks if anything is coming along the Greenway. The turning vehicles are usually so desperate for a gap that when waved across, they just floor it. </p> <p>While assessing all this, a cyclist is at the same time watching out for vehicles exiting from Murrayfield Gardens and Murrayfield Place, all in the the space of 50 yards. It's pretty dreadful design. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18689#post-278739 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 20:14:01 +0000 ivangrozni 278739@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A cyclist was knocked off their bike at the Murrafield Gardens/A8 junction this evening. Witnessed the bike (and car number plate) being pulled out from under the front bumper. I stopped and checked if the cyclist was ok. He didn't seem to be in the best of shape to be honest - I hope it was mostly just shock! </p>
