One was a head-on smash which looked pretty nasty, hopefully no-one seriously injured: pictures on Twitter showed the damaged cars. Also heard that a car ran into a bus and a female passenger fell over in the aisle and injured her knee. Driver drove off without leaving details, much less waiting for police.</p> <p>Basically drivers have grown accustomed to tearing round the area at some speed over the past year (especially on Montrose Terrace which became a drag strip). They ignored the speed limit signs so it's hardly surprising they failed to notice the various yellow signs warning them of the change back. Thank goodness neither of these collisions involved pedestrians or cyclists.</p> <p>I even had to point out to the driver of a van on London Road that he was pulling up to the lights on the wrong side of the road...</p> <p>Some dreadful, dreadful unobservant drivers out there. I'd say to any cyclists, just avoid that junction for the next few days until the idiots have got used to the new (old) layout. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19144#post-292116 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 08:41:07 +0000 ejstubbs 292116@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Twitter user Chris L wrote: "I automatically drove up the wrong side of the road last night as there was no warning it had changed back. Dangerous!"</em></p> <p>Very honest of Mr L to admit that he's a dangerous driver. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19144#post-292114 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 08:36:25 +0000 Arellcat 292114@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can't be that bad.

Constant flow of autopilot drivers going the wrong way down the new one way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19144#post-292088 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 20:19:35 +0000 chdot 292088@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/road-layout-change-on-edinburgh-s-london-road-leaves-some-drivers-baffled-1-4804650" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/road-layout-change-on-edinburgh-s-london-road-leaves-some-drivers-baffled-1-4804650</a> </p>
