@theJeremyVine Should you be using your phone to record whilst you’re riding a bike Jeremy? Is it one rule for cyclists and one for motorists? I’ll be reporting this.

So you can park on the pavement if you need a new pair of Skechers*😯😯😯😯 *and you have a diplomatic numberplate. Saw this Friday. How can it be allowed?

@DrScottArthurMP Leith Walk needs to be fixed, sorry is not enough!

It's long been clear that the Transport Committee's original plan for Leith Walk was overly ambitious, and those supposed to be at the top of sustainable transport hierarchy paid the price. The new circulation plan takes this lesson to heart, preventing a repeat of this mistake. However, simply avoiding past errors isn't enough to truly improve Leith Walk. It's encouraging that the Transport Committee is willing to consider the issue.

@DaveTheEpic @CllrChasBooth Bet you're not even a resident.

@CllrChasBooth Yay, just a shame about the local economy and whats best for the residents. Let's be honest, this is more about what you want than what's best for the locals.

The six-month monitoring report on the #Leith low traffic neighbourhood (#LTN) was published recently. It showed the scheme has been an astonishing success at reducing traffic. So what's next for the Leith LTN? #edinburgh #urbanism

@scott_expert Scott the "expert" cannot understand that's not a cycle lane.

No difficult spending decisions for LTNs, cycle lanes & other measures to make life a misery for everyone. This cycle lane to nowhere cost over £11K. Plenty of money to waste on vanity schemes creating hazards for cyclists that didn't exist.

✅Economically sensible - tacking several crisis at once. ✅Sustained investment - reducing costs/time to deliver. ✅ Transport minister on the health delivery board. ✅ Joined-up choice. 🚌 🚃 🚂 🚲 🚶 theguardian.com/politics/artic… 👏@LouHaigh @laura_laker @activetraveleng

Nigel Farage earns £97,000 a month from GBNews alone. Since his MP salary is 'only' £7,600, it's no wonder his Clacton constituents don't warrant any of his valuable time.

Rush hour, busy streets and pavements, this is how a delivery is made to @StarbucksUK by @GrahamsDairy. So much for safe cycling infrastructure @DrScottArthurMP @Edinburgh_CC @cllrcammyday @CllrChasBooth #edinburgh

"Best seat on the bus". The busiest cycle lane in Scotland being used as a feeder lane by an impatient HGV driver. This is how people end up dead.

@DrScottArthurMP Just walk or cycle along Leith Walk to see how well the pavement parking ban is working.

This made me smile. I've made a few mistakes on TEC, but working cross-party to deliver Scotland's most comprehensive pavement parking ban isn't one of them.

@Boenau That's the rule but almost no driver respects it.

In the UK, people riding a bike have priority over motorists trying to gun it and make a turn. "Drivers must not cut across cyclists"

@Ross_Greer @GlasgowCC Glasgow having the same problem as Edinburgh. Why councils are wasting people's money not putting some bollards? Leith Walk new pavements have been destroyed by trucks and vans parking on them.

Not a parking space mate. @GlasgowCC some bollards on the cycle lanes wouldn't go amiss.

Leith Walk's finest work: one lorry drives off the pavement to reveal another. "Ah but it's okay the traffic wardens said I could." Who honestly believes that stuff (or that traffic wardens have that power)?

@mariaoliviaking @sjamal9 @ross_muller1 @Edinburgh_CC @LivingStreetsEd @CllrScottArthur @coxandcoxuk @yplac_ed Those are the loading bays along Leith Walk, some are on the road but funnily enough it looks like that most of them are on the cycle paths?

@LeithBertie @sjamal9 @ross_muller1 @Edinburgh_CC @LivingStreetsEd @CllrScottArthur @coxandcoxuk @yplac_ed They haven’t designed any loading bays onto leith walk unfortunately, just bus bays. There are however side streets that they could park on instead, although they’ve introduced a lot of limitations of where you can turn off/onto Leith Walk as well unfortunately.

Tell me Edinburgh doesn’t protect active travellers with bollards without telling me Edinburgh doesn’t protect active travellers with bollards. Problem on L.Walk evident for years. Will @Edinburgh_CC and its leaders act? @LivingStreetsEd @CllrScottArthur @coxandcoxuk @yplac_ed

@sjamal9 @ross_muller1 @Edinburgh_CC @LivingStreetsEd @CllrScottArthur @coxandcoxuk @yplac_ed Loading bays?

@ross_muller1 @Edinburgh_CC @LivingStreetsEd @CllrScottArthur @coxandcoxuk @yplac_ed Looks like they were there for a reason where else would they park?

@ross_muller1 @Edinburgh_CC @LivingStreetsEd @CllrScottArthur @coxandcoxuk @yplac_ed They don't care.

@ross_muller1 @BordersBuses @CllrScottArthur @DodgyDriversUK @SustransScot @LivingStreetsEd The entry to the well praised state of the art CCWEL at Charlotte Square is used by coach buses to park on double yellows, every day no enforcement.

Edinburgh really has a long way to go to ensure road safety for all. Zero blind spot checks from @BordersBuses driver. Bridges 28/6/24 16:30 #CrushZone @CllrScottArthur @DodgyDriversUK @SustransScot @LivingStreetsEd

@EdinReporter @Edinburgh_CC @CllrScottArthur @SpokesLothian No enforcement at Charlotte Square either where the entry to the cycle path is usually blocked by coach buses.

Not much point winning all these awards @Edinburgh_CC when there is no enforcement of pavement parking, on cycleway parking or indeed 20mph in the city centre - is there? @CllrScottArthur @SpokesLothian
