CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Though it seems most are ignoring the signs, you do have to wonder why they don't technically allow cyclists to use this bit of Princes Street.
Missed opportunity by blackpuddinonnabike, on Flickr
It's an 'emergency' lane. Though today it was also blocked off as railings were moved to allow a works truck to deposit a load. I'm pretty certain that's more difficult to move out of the way of an ambulance than a bike...
That sign have ANY legality??
It's RED. That means it's extra legal. Or so they probably think.
All these diversions are likely to have been established by a temporary traffic regulation order (TTRO). If this is the case and it restricts cycling on Princes Street then this sign will be correct.
I can't find a copy of the TTRO, so can't verify whether this is the case. Someone at CEC should be able to verify this.
Yes there is a first time for everything for them to get something right!
