   Shameful. The work has taken so long and is still not fiished but the planners have made the pedestrian yeild to the motorist. Who in teh right mide dicerts pedestrains down a steep ramp into a god damn supermarket car park and the long way round to the bus stop. Traffic lights are out of sink coming from Roch valey way, green to go forward ten metres to wait what feels like a lifetime for teh next set to change.

Trafic coming from Manchester road up Endinbourogh cant see the pedestria crossing until you are on it. These planners with their real traffic simulations cant account for bad drivers. here we have bad drivers with bad planners which has mixed and manufactured a very dangerous cocktail. More will get injured and some will die. I wish the young man a speedy recovery

   I agree with the previous comments, the crossing at that junction only belongs in Whacky Races. I hope the gentleman in question fully recovers and sues the idiots who designed this outrageous mistake of a junction
