Have a look at our latest blog on how the #spacesforpeople #TravellingSafely scheme has improved safety & visibility near junctions.

Summary: Good progress, but more can be done with permanent designs.

✅Junctions are clear of parked 🚗
✅Some junctions are now less wide
✅speeds have reduced

❌more dropped kerbs and tactile needed - no change
❌pedestrian priority could be enhanced with pavements being level across junctions.
If we #improveNOTremove the #LanarkRoad scheme we could consider designs like these in Glasgow & Cardiff which improve accessibility & pedestrian priority👇

1/We hear a lot about how things have got more dangerous for pedestrians, children, elderly & disabled people since the temporary Lanark Road 'Travelling Safely' scheme was implemented, and that the scheme should be removed on that basis. hellosw20.wixsite.com/sw20ed/post/fo…
2/But does that argument hold up when scrutinised? Should we return Lanark Road to how it was pre-pandemic? What would the impacts on pedestrians, bus passengers, parents, elderly &, disabled people be?The new blog looks at the 7 existing crossing points on Lanark Road.
3/We want to make to make our streets, safer, slower, accessible and people friendly. #improveNOTremove #20mphstreets #CutTheClutter

🚨SW20 on Tour 🚨

We took a trip.

Sometimes in Edinburgh its difficult to imagine a better future. We’re keen to show what might be possible.

Where did we go?

📍 Paris? Copenhagen? Amsterdam? ✈️

Nope….
…🚂 40 miles to the West: Glasgow!

It faces the same issues:

🏥⛑health & 💰inequality
📖legislation / TROs
🅿️🚗legacy of 60s / 70s planning
⛰🌦hills & weather
💰funding challenges
😷Covid affecting local business & more working from home.

But it has managed to deliver…
The South City Way!

Could this be #lanarkroad, Comiston Road, Portobello, Corstorphine or any Edinburgh street like Lothian Road, Gorgie or Newington? @best_edinburgh @LivingStreetsEd @EdinburghBUG @blackfordsafer1 @Cyclesouthedin @TrafficLow
