@mobycon has three key principles for traffic calming:
1. Enforcement is futile
2. Width is everything
3. Car volume is not a barrier

Excellent to see council officers recommending significant improvements on #LanarkRoad to Committee next week.
✅ Fantastic proposal to have two🚦proper crossings that will hopefully have cross-community support.
A proposal helps walking, wheeling and scooting!

The scheme also looks like it has reduced vehicle speed on #LanarkRoad. 👍
Could #lanarkRoad look like this in the future?
Is this the start of considering parts of South West Edinburgh as streets, not roads?
Where people use local services, green spaces and businesses and move around more sustainably?

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👇

Where did we go?
📍 Paris? Copenhagen? Amsterdam? ✈️

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
