Hot on the heels of featuring the Cycle Facility of the Month in
September[1] the poor design of Edinburgh tram tracks has now made the
news[2]. I cycled into Haymarket station just a couple of weeks ago
(left of the bollard in the video, avoiding the tracks) and thought it
was a very poorly thought out layout. Perhaps cyclists are supposed to
take the short length of cycle track and stop at the lights rather than
be treated as first class road users.
