Worst that can happen is we push for a sidestreet's distance and then get on with it. </p> wingpig on "Why are only motorists warned of road closures?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6527#post-70174 Fri, 11 May 2012 17:45:13 +0000 wingpig 70174@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Motorists are also being warned to plan their journeys in advance for some sort of football final cup procession bus waving thing in a week or so. </p> custard on "Why are only motorists warned of road closures?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6527#post-70171 Fri, 11 May 2012 17:04:55 +0000 custard 70171@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>no buses through there,but onto the Western approach (including the excellent 22 service the tram 'replaces')<br /> howeve no doubt it will disrupt through increased traffic volume going straight.<br /> For bus users its usually the case the bus reroutes. though i did once stand at a suspended stop on Princes Steet :o in the early AM and watch my bus fly by! </p> Wilmington's Cow on "Why are only motorists warned of road closures?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6527#post-70165 Fri, 11 May 2012 16:28:04 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 70165@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've pondered this before - the reporting on the latest tram works says that '<a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/edinburgh/disruption-warning-as-tram-work-set-to-enter-next-phase-1-2289033">motorists are being warned of road closures</a>'. What of bus users on the same route (are there buses use that street?). I would imagine that pedestrians won't be able to use the street either. And, of course, cyclists. </p>
