Sometimes repeated if it's a long straight stretch. Certainly helps to keep speeds down, especially if there's more than one.<br /> <img src="https://s3.ppllstatics.com/eldiariomontanes/www/multimedia/202008/25/media/cortadas/fdez-vallejo-kFoB-U120197187678YF-1248x770@Diario%20Montanes.jpg"> </p> gembo on "“Speeding: Council to look at trialling traffic lights which turn red”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21379#post-371175 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 08:22:51 +0000 gembo 371175@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is a little bit of space out the front but if other cars there then can be shunting. </p> <p>We sometimes take the back road to avoid the meleee. </p> acsimpson on "“Speeding: Council to look at trialling traffic lights which turn red”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21379#post-371174 Sat, 14 Oct 2023 22:52:10 +0000 acsimpson 371174@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The hard part is stopping outside the apple pie having taken the lights at 40. </p> gembo on "“Speeding: Council to look at trialling traffic lights which turn red”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21379#post-371169 Sat, 14 Oct 2023 15:23:52 +0000 gembo 371169@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@frenchy that is the normal Carnwath speed </p> Frenchy on "“Speeding: Council to look at trialling traffic lights which turn red”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21379#post-371168 Sat, 14 Oct 2023 13:37:13 +0000 Frenchy 371168@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Just normal lights</em></p> <p>We're going to need you to go back and cycle through them at 40mph, just to be sure. </p> gembo on "“Speeding: Council to look at trialling traffic lights which turn red”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21379#post-371167 Sat, 14 Oct 2023 13:30:57 +0000 gembo 371167@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ejstubbs I was at those lights today as this is where the Apple Pie is </p> <p>Just normal lights</p> <p>Great bakery</p> <p>Soon to be tearoom </p> ejstubbs on "“Speeding: Council to look at trialling traffic lights which turn red”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21379#post-371165 Sat, 14 Oct 2023 08:28:34 +0000 ejstubbs 371165@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a vague recollection of there being speed-sensitive traffic lights on the approach to Carnwath from Biggar along the B7016 (not a route I take at all often - in fact, not at all since that occasion AFAIK). It might have been a trial rather than a permanent installation.
