If you can't average 30mph on a bike you've no right attempting to cycle

drawing of cycle phase on cycle junction at foot of leith walk edinburgh

Dunno whether this helps but cycle phase should allow all these movements simultaneously, and protected with all traffic held at red:

It's great! I'm enjoying it twice a day, at least. I just like to moan about Edinboro being drab and miserable

Yeah it's an extended Dutch junction, straight on across the tram tracks, then the cycle signals hold all traffic for a cycle only phase

Certainly would've been finished much sooner if they'd just used asphalt

too colourful, probably!

A grey cycle track accross sandport bridge in leith, next to a grey cycle path, the sky is grey. It is a drab and depressing scene.

Presbyterian colourlessness.

Are they putting in a crossing at the end across commercial Street?

It's like saying that you are planning for a budget were things will necessarily go very wrong because you, project owner, are 100% sure that you will be unable to deploy any organizational or design measure to avoid costs to escalate out of control.

Moyes will be lucky to see Valentines day the way things are going. Hopeless hoofball, individual players regressing, £70m wasted on players not deemed good enough/not good enough. Looks every inch a past-it dinosaur and certainly no upgrade on Dyche.

Moyes really is just a waitrose dyche. Think the "new" moyes of last season was just something forced upon him by circumstances.

Grand designs got me in bits

Smug bastard, me!

My 2 cents worth - filter dalmeny st like iona st and make Albert street/albion rd the east-west route because its signal controlled at leith walk end and on easter rd.

The wooden bits off my cargo bike

Sanded and 2 coats of varnish, drying in the autumn sunshine

Its a tremendous kickstand!

My longtail cargo bike stripped of all accessories, in my back garden.

Winter maintenance for the cargo bike - all the wood stripped off for sanding/varnishing, now taking down to BG cycles in Port-o-bello for a service.

A pedestrian crossing being replaced

Sad day: theyre replacing the talking green men on London Road

The only heavy infrastructure round here is your belly, fatty!

What makes side road junctions pedestrian-friendly? ForewordThis post has a companion written by Robert Weetman. We have been working collaboratively on something which we think needs to be more widely known, but we also thought it might be fun and …

We're pleased to report on a project that Mark has been working on with Robert Weetman for Manchester City Council.

This post sets out some ideas that developed from this work and which will hopefully start to explain what "pedestrian-friendly" is, and how we can design better side road junctions.

I do, i remember that every time it vanished was the day the bins were emptied.

Are you suggesting that civil engineers should be removed from decision making until strategic transport planners have worked their magic?!?!

waiting on tenterhooks here... told my boss not to expect any work this morning

Could you find out what's happened to the bollard there please? Been missing for months and a regular flow of traffic both ways through the no entry sign now

Kramer Vs Bollocks... Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Bollocks... The neverending bollocks

What a difference alcaraz has made. Same as last season.
