He was shouting at me no right turn, I'm afraid my reply broke most of the rules on this forum! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19031#post-290828 Tue, 11 Sep 2018 08:01:36 +0000 HankChief 290828@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The kids &amp; I were stopped by a well meaning woman this morning as we turned right off SJR onto Featherhall.</p> <p>She told us it was no right turn and a nasty turn for taking kids on.</p> <p>I pointed to below the no right turn sign where it said "except cycles" and advised it was a lot safer than Meadow Place Road.</p> <p>We departed with a smile. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19031#post-290348 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 22:18:12 +0000 HankChief 290348@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://twitter.com/hank_chief/status/1037414220651024392?s=19" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/hank_chief/status/1037414220651024392?s=19</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19031#post-289780 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 22:30:51 +0000 jonty 289780@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That situation seems to be handled in lots of different ways across the country. I wonder if that sign is a "legit" one.

"Except cycles" is more usual I'd have thought. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19031#post-289704 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 12:44:29 +0000 steveo 289704@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Be nice the first time a bin truck is coming down Featherhall and some moron is salmoning. </p>
