@TrafficLow @Edinburgh_CC There was a fatal crash on Corstorphine Road at the junction with Balgreen Road 30 March, 2024, which would be just beyond the Corstorphine boundary. The problem is everywhere.

A new Low Traffic Vision would help create safe, attractive streets where people can breathe clean air and discover the many benefits of walking and wheeling 💚.

Low Traffic Corstorphine Statement on Road Safety Concerns

We’re deeply concerned about the recent spate of road traffic incidents in our area, including a death on St John’s Road - we urge @Edinburgh_CC to take immediate action.

Road Policing officers in Edinburgh are appealing for information about a video circulating on social media showing a Honda Civic speeding at 82pm in the Saughton Road North area, overtaking numerous vehicles in the face of oncoming traffic.

Last RT: Drumbrae roundabout and its surrounds desperately need a full safety redesign. It’s appalling for everyone: pedestrians, cyclists, drivers. Full signal control and speed reducing measures needed.

These are not CGI or AI images.

Paris is moving fast to make nicer, greener and healthier places; showing cities around the world that it’s possible with political will.

If you can do it in Paris, you can do it anywhere.

Amazing. The people who oppose the Corstorphine LTN and got the Manse Road bus gate removed are now objecting to a new care home on Manse Road because there is too much traffic in the area.

Edinburgh residents fear busy road will return to 'rat run' as bus gate scrapped https://t.co/je3B0fGlp1 https://t.co/je3B0fGlp1

@PidginPosting @kennywhitton @NotEnoughEarth @Smashy1969 @DrScottArthurMP There’s also the story going around that Iceland is closing because of the bus gate when they announced they were selling the land years before.

Shocked to discover that ACE are misleading people again. “No-one was suggesting reversing the widened pavements” - except that’s exactly what ACE demanded in a deputation to the council. They just can’t stop.

@PidginPosting @jester_mouse @DavyJonesC2S @SpokesLothian @Edinburgh_CC @kevin_lang @cllr_jenkinson @CllrChasBooth @DrScottArthurMP @EdinReporter It’s an incredibly busy rat run, not safe for pedestrians according to those who opposed to the bus gate.

[Low Traffic Corstorphine @TrafficLow]

While we're disappointed at @Edinburgh_CC's decision to remove the Manse Road bus gate, bringing 4000+ vehicles a day back to a narrow residential street beside a primary school, we're happy to see the vast majority of the LTN elements retained.

Even people who love their cars, or really need their cars, or both, can still probably admit that the worst thing about the city they live in is that there are too many cars.

[PidginPosting @PidginPosting]

@ACECorstorphine So now traffic on Manse Road will return to the 3000+ vehicles per day it previously saw, is Accessible Corstorphine For All’s position still that pedestrians shouldn’t use it and instead take a half-mile detour?

[PidginPosting @PidginPosting]

Just to reinforce this point: as I write this (11.45 am on a Friday) traffic is backed up on St John’s Road to the zoo. Nothing to do with any of the LTN changes. It will only get worse when the post office relocates. Nothing will be done.

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

This will only mean more traffic cutting through the area on the way to somewhere else along on a key walking route (inc to school) where the pavement is a little more than two feet wide.
