Green light posts were added alongside the cycleway: if you kept at the same speed as the 'flow' of these lights, you would get a green light at the junction when you arrived.</p> <p><a href="https://cyclingsolutions.info/its-solutions-for-cyclists/" rel="nofollow">https://cyclingsolutions.info/its-solutions-for-cyclists/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20087#post-322635 Fri, 14 Feb 2020 13:06:06 +0000 rbrtwtmn 322635@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Amsterdam started taking them back out. It's a very big thing (I spoke to some of those involved). The media have kind of presented it as a radical experiment (and some experiment is involved) but actually it's them undoing a system which has broken down - looking for a way forward where cycling is the mainstay (and the lights are silly for that in many many places, and are thus disregarded in those locations), and where people driving are given back trust (guided by an excellent system of rules and designs). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20087#post-322628 Fri, 14 Feb 2020 12:35:04 +0000 neddie 322628@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Imagine a city centre where the traffic has been reduced to the point where traffic lights are no longer necessary.</p> <p>Just imagine... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20087#post-322626 Fri, 14 Feb 2020 12:26:18 +0000 CycleCommute.CC 322626@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've done my commute to work approximately 1,350 times now. Out of all of these there is only 1 occasion that I have managed to complete the full journey to the office without needing to stop!</p> <p>It's never happened on the return journey. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20087#post-322623 Fri, 14 Feb 2020 12:17:26 +0000 jonty 322623@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got all greens up Dundas Street the other day. I did not feel amazing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20087#post-322622 Fri, 14 Feb 2020 12:12:26 +0000 dessert rat 322622@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>managed to get from the lights on Princes St / the right turn to Waverley, down Leith St, through the Picardry mincer, across the London Rd RA and down as far as Jane St before I had a red light. </p> <p>its really quick if there's no lights. </p>
