On today's trike tour I went down to Engine Shed instead to get to route. Kerbs are angled beside two way section and walkers don't seem to mind bikes being on pavement there but even so...<br /> Maybe work starts after commute time in morning... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19499#post-302909 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 10:36:55 +0000 ejstubbs 302909@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The article linked in the OP did say that the closures would be overnight from 7pm to 7am. Which did rather undermine the suggestion that "chaos" would result. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19499#post-302904 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 09:50:38 +0000 wingpig 302904@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Seems to be getting left open during morning rush-hour so as not to impede important combustion-traffic. They're even thoughtfully parking all their surface-scraping vehicles on the bike lane on King's Stables Road to keep them out of the way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19499#post-302901 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 00:22:44 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 302901@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Came this way tonight from George St. Only problem with the diversion is that the workers coned off the Lothian Rd turn lanes bang on the white line, so it was a bit uncomfortably narrow (for me) cycling between the cones and the tram rail. After a cone or two, I just cycled inside the cones, which was better. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19499#post-302889 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 19:24:02 +0000 edinburgh87 302889@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent (not sarcasm), I ride up and down Lothian Road twice a day and it's well overdue </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19499#post-302888 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 17:50:24 +0000 chdot 302888@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://twitter.com/spokeslothian/status/1104767716714520583?s=21" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/spokeslothian/status/1104767716714520583?s=21</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19499#post-302887 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 17:44:32 +0000 Arellcat 302887@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We haven't had a good old traffic CHAOS for a while. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19499#post-302886 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 17:21:20 +0000 chdot 302886@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/major-roadworks-on-lothian-road-set-to-cause-transport-chaos-till-end-of-april-1-4886974" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/major-roadworks-on-lothian-road-set-to-cause-transport-chaos-till-end-of-april-1-4886974</a> </p>
