Dangerous or what?
« on: July 19, 2021, 07:00:22 PM »
This is the main A90 route into Edinburgh City Centre. This shot is obviously early morning.



This is slightly back down the road showing usual traffic flows (it is the most polluted road in Edinburgh).



This morning I was driving into the city centre for an 08:30 appointment and the traffic was as heavy as it ever is. Two lanes of solid traffic in both directions. Cars, buses and vans (with the odd truck thrown in).
Just where the top photograph was taken there was a pavement scooter sitting in the middle hatched area. The girl driving it had crossed the country-bound side of the road and was trying to cross the city-bound lanes. Now there are quite a few light-controlled crossings on this section of the road but she was taking a shortcut! It would probably be construed as the car driver's fault if she was run down.
