    That's what we want to see more of!

    Where?

    that was a couple of miles along the Forth coastal route east of the Kincardine Bridge (north side of Forth) - I'm afraid I didn't have GPS on on my phone so I'm not precisely sure where...

    It's quite hard to work out accurately when Google's satellite date is over ten years old but I think it might be here:

    When bollards are just not enough.

    This great lump of concrete plus humungous sign definitely wasn't there last week! There's another of these on the other side of the Usher Hall. Dunno what happened to the 'missing' bollards: maybe destroyed by vehicles?

    @crowriver I imagine that (given the hi-viz tape on other bollard) they were taken out by reversing vehicles piloted by persons of limited spatial awareness

    Yeah that is "random".

    Does it stop anything?

    Might stop the casual driver of a very wide vehicle trying to drive through from Morrison Street to round the back of Port Hamilton?

    Shock horror as a bollard is actually REMOVED to make cycling easier! Junction of Eildon Street and NEPN (http://goo.gl/maps/3GS6I), pointless bollard has been sawn down to an innoffensive stump a few mm high, so I can now get the trailer through on the way home from nursery.

    Kudos to the council for this highly sensible move, as the new wider space is still far too narrow to drive down anyway. If not the council, then I doff my hat to the guerrilla streetscaper and their trusty angle grinder...

    @SRD - that must have taken inspiration from this (which has no doubt been posted on here before):

    indeed it has. ironic that the NY infra actually looks better - just people abusing it, while the belgian paths look very poorly designed!
