Yes, I discovered that the Marathon Winters are not that good on the churned up desire line at Edin Park Station this evening, almost came to an abrupt stop/fail. Very handy when it is frozen though !

That's a good example.
I think that football is played over there so 'difficult' to tarmac
The West Park has a tarmac diagonal - but not on the gritting list -

Yesterday I started a fake Desire Lines thread.
This is the real one.
Please add examples.

It's a "leisure" one, but one I was thinking of a couple of days ago - Arthur's Seat, by the gate at the start of the Queen's Drive climb, there's a desire line from the pavement over the curb and back onto the road used by cyclists doing laps of the seat when the gate is closed. Would be nice if it were tarmacked.

@PS - that particular desire line really bugs me!

In Lochend Park the southernmost opening from Lochend Butterfly Way into the park technically only meets with the upper path as it's only joined to the lower pond-side path by an unofficial (though heavily-used) rutted stoney mud-path.

Look at the packed down soil - people want to walk here. This is a desire line in action and such a no brainer, you don't even need to be an engineer to understand - hell, even a politician could understand this one!!!

A new thread was inadvertently created, so examples/discussion continues there -
