It still intuitively <em>looks </em>like the road has priority. </p> <p>Instead, the cycleway surface should be continuous, as should the footway. The entrance ramps should be steeper and the bend radii far tighter. The yellow lines should not cut across the cycle-/ footway </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-309209 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 11:04:54 +0000 chdot 309209@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Random photo off Flickr </p> <p>Newcastle </p> <p>Looks like nice wide path with some degree of priority over sidestreet. </p> <p>Oh, and some barriers...</p> <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48101309326_133c33e2b7.jpg"></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_baines/48101309326/" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_baines/48101309326/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-309204 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 08:54:48 +0000 wingpig 309204@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Were you just in front of the parked coach? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-309198 Fri, 21 Jun 2019 21:54:31 +0000 LaidBack 309198@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dedicated pram way?<br /> Assume it's not open yet but will experience a mix of uses whe it is. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-309197 Fri, 21 Jun 2019 20:53:00 +0000 chdot 309197@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48099236886_818cbe10fc.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-308556 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 23:20:11 +0000 CycleAlex 308556@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They haven't built out the cones again so it had the usual level of obedience. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-308548 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 20:03:47 +0000 EdinburghCycleCam 308548@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Leith Street was back open again when I went up it at 19:20 this evening.</p> <p>Interestingly, the 3 "No right turn" signs are back at the Picardy Place Roundabout - they were removed while Leith Street was closed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-308546 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 19:27:51 +0000 chdot 308546@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48028801312_d7cd79acec.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-308380 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 20:08:48 +0000 Frenchy 308380@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Went through this earlier, it is some redd up at the moment. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-308047 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 09:32:22 +0000 chdot 308047@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wota pic!</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/obarchrombaidh/status/1135271906540756993" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/obarchrombaidh/status/1135271906540756993</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-308028 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 22:58:15 +0000 chdot 308028@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“Counting the days until it'll be removed in 2029“</p> <p>Optimist. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-308024 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 22:02:33 +0000 dessert rat 308024@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Pedaled up Leith St today around 3 with miniMcR in child seat.

I don't know how long the road has been reduced to just one lane since, but it really can't be fun cycling up there now with other traffic behind you and no way for it to pass you safely.</p> <p>(Re: my first post, what I meant was that if the buses were functioning perfectly well diverted from Leith Street recently, that would give scope for closing the street to motor traffic uphill beyond Calton Road and give us space for the cycleway that we need right up to North Bridge, not just the 3/4 of the way that has been built.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-307993 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 12:14:21 +0000 chdot 307993@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47984585666_aa2fd8fcfa_c.jpg"></p> <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47984537952_3838b303a3.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19602#post-306719 Wed, 15 May 2019 15:45:36 +0000 davecykl 306719@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm just thinking…</p> <p>If this (not excessively disruptive) arrangement of the bus routes can work for a few weeks this month, why couldn't it work as an alternative for them using Leith Street permanently?</p> <p><a href="https://www.lothianbuses.com/live-travel-info/service-update/?alert_id=2463c8ec010306fdd8bca458a491c336" rel="nofollow">https://www.lothianbuses.com/live-travel-info/service-update/?alert_id=2463c8ec010306fdd8bca458a491c336</a></p> <p>The next step is hopefully obvious. Even if motor vehicle access were to be restricted to just one direction, that would leave enough space for a proper uphill cycleway. </p>
