This always seem like a possiblity to me along those pavements which have dual use signs on that just sort of fizzle out after a while. At which point do they stop becoming dual use? Maybe they still are. Who knows?

What I'd like to understand about Edinburgh's cycle planning is why they have such a mix of segregated and non-segregated terrain, even (as aptly illustrated in the photo above) on the *same* street!
I can understand the arguments both for segregation (gives ownership to either side, allowing pedestrians to feel safer and cyclists to ride much faster) and for dual use (keeps speeds low, emphasis on sharing, easier to navigate for both types of user).
So, I can understand a policy towards either, depending on how you value the criteria above. But how can you think both are best?

The area around the Gyle roundabout is great for this. Coming from the airport there is reasonable signage. Coming out of the Gyle Centre there are blue shared-use roundals, but going along the Glasgow Road, or going to Edinburgh Park, all of the signage just disappears. At what point to these shared paths stop being shared paths?
I normally come out of the Gyle Centre onto Glasgow Rd and go down to the Marriott Hotel junction and join the road heading east. It's the safest way to do it...Posted 14 years ago #
