CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years 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.
There was a brief 'halo' effect immediately after the ASLs were re-painted in Abbeyhill, with motorists staying out of them. Lasted about a week, then they were all straight back to ignoring them.
I expect the enforcement actions may have a deterrent effect for a while, and maybe permanently for those who get a fine. I reckon it won't take long for most drivers to 'forget' all about it though once it's over.
Im not sure how drivers are supposed to know about the enforement of ASLs aside from the bus adverts though. If I wasn't reading this forum, I doubt I'd have noticed.
Anybody heard any "heads up" announcements on BBC Scotland/ Forth FM or the like?

The Highway Code requires that motorists stay out of the box when signals are red (or risk a £60 fine and three penalty points)
