Sciennes House Place sign

    I would say roughly monthly if I cycle west on Sciennes House Place, I come across the sign on the southwest corner of the street facing the westbound traffic - I usually bash it round 180 degrees so it faces west, but why does this keep recurring? Has anyone else noticed this? Have I completely misunderstood the contraflow for cyclists?

    Here it is how I found it this morning (now rotated) - surely this is wrong?

    Drunken student 'fun' or anti-bike locals spreading from Roseburn?

    probably just the former, but the fact it happens over and over again to the same sign makes me wonder why...

    It looks wrong.

    I turned round the big temporary one on Beaufort Road about the Sciennes school streets closure last week.

    I suspect student japes.

    A few years ago there were regular attacks on Morningside Clock - moving the hands (must have needed a ladder or shoulder standing).

    Only ended when perspex covers were added!

    thanks chdot - I felt seeing as I could fix it myself it was probably not worth reporting. Hopefully they can tighten it up to such an extent that it won't be possible to rotate it...

    Thank you for that - I've reported the Russell Road sign

    Last night the sign was in the right direction. Unfortunately, the light to illuminate the sign was pointing to the rear of the sign. Clearly, it's a different team that aligns the light!
