It disappears in the subsequent year's shots. So unless it's forbidden, and given the finger sign, circumstantial evidence points to cycling being allowed there.</p> <p>And yeah, that junction should be simplified as they did at the bottom of Marchmont Road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18734#post-280039 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 21:15:35 +0000 Frenchy 280039@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>I'm now hoping that someone is going to come along and prove me wrong... </em></p> <p>Best I can do is point out that <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@55.93962,-3.1914994,3a,35y,331.73h,85.69t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sgRMP51vOjmF2W9MCeQO8Xw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656">this sign</a> exists. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18734#post-280038 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 20:50:22 +0000 chdot 280038@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>But it’s not a pavement so cycling is legal under Access legislation.</p> <p>It only gets complicated in The Meadows where a <em>few</em> paths are “roads” <em>and</em> cycling is outlawed.</p> <p>(I think.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18734#post-280037 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 20:37:11 +0000 neddie 280037@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm not sure that it's technically a cyclepath East of Argyle Pl on SMW?</p> <p>I'm now hoping that someone is going to come along and prove me wrong... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18734#post-280030 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 18:24:21 +0000 ih 280030@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A lot of that junction could be cleaned up by just removing the left filter for motors out of Argyle Place but it was built when traffic flow was king, whereas now, oh.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18734#post-280029 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 17:37:57 +0000 Frenchy 280029@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's certainly a peculiar junction, so say the least, isn't it?
