War On Cars Edinburgh

Edinburgh is awesome, let's make it more awesome by putting people and sustainable transport before cars #WarOnCarsEdin

[War On Cars Edinburgh @WarOnCarsEdin]

Listening to Kay Adams @BBCRadioScot phone-in this morning on cycling. You forget how crazy some people are. Times have changed, views haven't. Mandatory tabards, insurance and number plates are order of the day for cyclists apparently 🤷‍♂️🙈😂

[Harriet Harman @HarrietHarman]

What about making all side roads pedestrian except for access to take the pressure off our parks?

Funny if it wasn't true 😥

[Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) 🌍🌈🌹 @DrScottArthurMP]

Edinburgh folk may be interested to know that they can now submit any parking "enforcement requests" via the Council's website

"All requests are sent directly to the parking wardens to be actioned."

Report illegally parked vehicles: https://t.co/3WzRrECfBU.

[LordProvostEdinburgh @LordProvostEdin]

The need for traffic enforcement at the foot of the Mound is clear!

[Stuart Hay @StreetWurrier]

🚗💀⚰️As austere Calvinist memorials go this is hard to beat. But seriously, are we really valuing parking spaces ahead of places of cultural significance to the Scottish nation? #ParkingMad @cocteautriplets

Here is a great opportunity for everyone to pull together and get the £120mil put into investment into real alternatives. Free direct shuttle buses between pinch points like Sheriffhall and key traffic destinations like the Gyle area would be a good start

[Edinburgh Greens @EdinburghGreens]

The proposal to turn Sheriffhall roundabout into a spaghetti junction isn’t an upgrade, it’s a step backwards.
@AlisonJohnstone - “This is the 21st century, and we are in a climate emergency. £120m could go a long way in transforming our capital for the future." #StopSheriffHall

@KarlBode I'm pretty surprised that 23% were able to identify it. This Jimmy Kimmel video was a bit if an eye opener when the public to name ANY country on a map... https://t.co/zGKGIMBoOz

[War On Cars Edinburgh @WarOnCarsEdin]

@neilbeakerq @jamiegreeneUK Spot on. Those groups are seen as the Trojan horse for trying to derail the scheme entirely

[War On Cars Edinburgh @WarOnCarsEdin]

Part of the problem with the sunken and collapsed roads around the capital is very likely to be the complainer's Volvo XC60 SUV #justsaying

[Edinburgh Evening News @edinburghpaper]

"Imagine if that had been a motorcyclist or a cyclist, how much worse it could have been."

With @scotgov seemingly resigned to accepting a failure to hit their own 10% cycling targets by 2020, here is what happened over at Seville. I'll say it again ... put in safe structure and people will come. (Credit: Bike Nation book by @peterwalker99 would def recommend)

[War On Cars Edinburgh @WarOnCarsEdin]

More 😍 for London transport this morning getting priority correct. Car parking making way for cycle hire docks, instead of pavement space being lost. C'mon #Edinburgh we can do this!

[War On Cars Edinburgh @WarOnCarsEdin]

Amazing when you go to London and see some proper segregated cycleways. As many people use them as use the pavements when safe infrastructure exists 👍

[David Hunter @dvrh9]

Good to see cycle racks now installed here to prevent pavement parking; persistence often pays off! 🙂 https://t.co/EsnLO6rkPy

[Mike Elm @elmers87]

Pop-up segregated cycle paths? @Edinburgh_CC you are spoiling us!

Would be great to use these across the city to test out and quickly implement healthier ways to get about this beautiful city!

Clear bus lanes ... canna beat it 😎

[BBC Yorkshire @BBCLookNorth]

The van was forced to swerve to avoid hitting the blind man and his guide dog.

[War On Cars Edinburgh @WarOnCarsEdin]

Some of the great things you see when you are out walking and cycling round this beautiful city of ours #edinburgh

[War On Cars Edinburgh @WarOnCarsEdin]

Some great tips in this thread for anyone considering taking up cycling for short journeys...

[Farah Hussain @FarahKHussain]

Thinking of ditching the car/ bus and buying a bicycle for shorter journeys. Am scared of Lycra and aggressive cyclists and drivers. Any tips?
