City Centre Congestion
Bicyclist came up the insider of the tram, went in front of it, stopped, then held up the tram with up to 270 passengers, 4 x buses wth up to 300 passengers. Integrated transport in Edinburgh.
Advertised journey times are longer during peak traffic times.
Below are images of the difficulties that the trams have navigating the City Centre during busy times.
Please click on any image to view it at a larger scale. You will then be able to navigate forwards and backwards between photos or see them as a slide show.
To assist the cyclists in Edinburgh, despite £100m spent on cycling facilities and education, they now have the benefit of these signs.
Giving bicyclists in other countries sum amusement.
