Edinburgh Maybury Road Changes

[bi9_jk]

It may shock and appaul you to discover the changes to the Maybury Road in West Edinburgh.

1. Narrowing of the southbound half from two lanes to one.

2. Reduction to 40 mile per hour speed limit on the whole road down from 60.


This is a direct violation from the guidence given to them. I will post further details later however I would like to know how many Edinburgh residents and those from surrounding areas or any other stakeholders in that road will join me in combatting this. This is nanny state to the extreme and it must not be tolerated!

Ridiculous. Never understood why they've not just continued the bypass from Gogar up to Maybury. Reducing the traffic capacity seems stupid, although I think to maintain that section as dual carriageway it could really do with some sort of central reservation.

Because The City of Edinburgh Council owns the majority share of Lothian Buses is why... Same reason as for all their other stupid transport descisions.

Has anybody thought to ask them WHY they are doing this?

(Not that I know, but I passed there yesterday and must admit I don't "get it" either.)

Might be interesting to find out if there is a reason, before getting too worked up about it?

That, the failure to thoroughly debeggise the transport department and the ill-considered tram scheme...
