  • What happens when Fife Council approve traffic lights on A985 at Cairneyhill despite being told in a planning objection that chaos would ensue - but get the usual brush off because Traffic Scotland say so. This is half as bad as it is normally - Post rush hour traffic (7pm)

    Did you just film yourself cycling through a red light.

    cycling on the pavement (looked but didnt see any shared space signs for cyclists and pedestrians), failing to stop for red lights (red lights still apply to cyclists), then rides into on coming traffic by not going round the roundabout the correct way. complain all you want about the road works but you are giving cyclists a bad name which most likely more people will focus on.
    the road works are close enough to the roundabout that traffic would block the roundabout or traffic would not be able to clear when entering the roundabout, so they have to put a traffic light system to control the roundabout. they should probably put extra teams to progress the work quicker to clear the road works but it is what it is, once people know about it, many will find different routes.

      I checked - there is a sign at the start of the village behind them in the direction they come from at the start of the video which literally says "cyclists rejoin carriageway" though given they proceeded at a reasonable pace and the pavement was empty with good visibility I'm not personally going to find too much problem with that aspect of it.
      At times they put themselves quite close to moving vehicles like the coach coming the other way at one point and several drivers feeling the need to encroach on a lay-by to avoid them - which if it was the other way around many cyclists, rightly, get up in arms about... although the other option to make progress would have been the pavement :s
