@gembo:
Big thick yellow lines have now appeared in the bus stops of Lanark Road
Not all of them: the ones adjacent to the Spylaw Bank Road junction had the "BUS STOP" and the yellow dashed lines to outline the stop, but no thick yellow line to indicate "no stopping at any time".
Hopefully double yellow and bollards to follow
It's a real random mish-mash at the moment. Some stretches (too many of them, and too long) have nothing but the solid white line. A few stretches have the white line and DYLs and lane defenders, as per Comiston Road, which is what Lanark Road used to have* and which should therefore what they should be aiming to "reinstate" per the tweet from Longstone Community Council dated July 16th.
There are some random outbreaks of DYLs, with no obvious reason why they do not extend further. Most of the designated parking spaces are still not marked. Lane defenders are thin on the ground, especially westbound.
The parking spaces outside the army premises just up from the Inglis Green Road junction have now all been painted in, and people do seem to be parking in them rather than in the cycle lane. However, most of the cars seem to have been parked as close as possible to the solid white line closest to the cycle lane, rather than outside the second line. I think this is partly because of the absence of lane defenders. Correction: as of yesterday there was one single, solitary lane defender about half way along the parking spaces. Utterly bizarre.
The job is clearly being done in a very piecemeal fashion and very, very slowly. It doesn't give one any great confidence that they will ever actually complete it properly.
