So good to see a #busgate on Whiston Road in #Hackney.
Bus gates:
- prioritise transport modes that makes the most efficient use of road space
- AND reduce injury risk for more vulnerable road users

Iconic Waverley Bridge, description by  EdinburghGuide.com 

Waverley Bridge

About the venue

For many arriving in Edinburgh by train, Waverley Bridge is the first place they step foot when leaving Waverley Station. The bridge has one of the four main entrances to Waverley railway station, with roads descending into the station itself - the North and South ramps. Since 2016, the Waverley Bridge entrance is used mostly by travellers on foot and a few, select vehicles.

The bridge is located right in the heart of Edinburgh, a pedestrian and cycle thoroughfare that connects Edinburgh's Georgian New Town with the medieval Old Town, across the valley of the former Nor' Loch.

Located at the East end of East Princes Street Garden, it has fine views of the Scott Monument and the garden, and it forms part of the roof of Waverley Station, with views of trains running along railway lines below the bridge.

Waverley Bridge is one of three main routes linking Edinburgh's Old and New towns. The category A listed bridge was built between 1894 and 1896 by Blyth and Westland. The other nearby routes between Old and New Towns are The Mound to the West of Waverley and North Bridge, at the East End of Princes Street. 

In June 2020, as part of emergency traffic measures brought in during the pandemic, to encourage people to social distance, walk, roll, and cycle, the Council ordered the closure of Waverley Bridge at the Princes Street junction with Waverley Bridge "and a point 40 metres or thereby south of the south kerbline of Princes Street". There is restricted access for vehicles from the Market Street end and tour buses that once clogged the bridge have relocated.

The Edinburgh City Centre Transportation Plan (2019) envisaged Waverley Bridge as a "new world-class space and gateway to the city" that makes better use of the iconic view from the bridge with "a less visually intrusive bridge parapet", more events, and possibly an information cent…

Why there is a bus gate here (for 2 years) - from Edinburgh Reporter

Waverley Bridge reopens to airport buses

From Sunday Waverley Bridge will no longer be a pedestrian priority street, as set out in the council’s Future Streets policy, when airport buses begin using it again as a terminus.

A bus gate was put in place on 24 June allowing both Lothian and McGill’s to run their airport services from Waverley Bridge as they did before 2020 when the bridge was stopped up at Princes Street. At that point a taxi rank was retained on the bridge and commercial vehicles continued to access Waverley Mall, but pedestrians enjoyed a quieter space where buskers gathered.

The move has come about as a result of the bus stop at South St David Street closing during the development of the former Jenners’ store into a hotel and retail units. Transport Convener Scott Arthur has confirmed that bus operators know that it is expected that buses will move back to South St David Street after the two year closure.

Footpaths at the north and south entrances to Princes Street Gardens will be widened and traffic from Princes Street will be prevented from a right turn onto Waverley Bridge.

Even Bristow? Maybe he'll lay off the Mill Road bus gate, which definitely makes the trip to school safer.

I'm actually in the camp that I like the Thunder's bravado.

Also, being a Bucks fan, I absolutely cannot root for the Pacers.

Not really helping with the perception that the people in #Cambridge complaining about the #BusGate on #MillRd are all shopkeepers who want to continue parking on the pavement outside their shops.

It's a good thing that he's found a more #sustainable way to travel, it's actually an advert for […]

The next step is to implement the City Mobility Plan and make it buses, cycles and pedestrians only

And in #Cambridge we've succeeded in permanently installing a #busgate on a narrow shopping street that should never have been used by through traffic.

Oh sorry, no we haven't. We're back in court for the umpteenth time in June.

Five fucking years of this.

The Tory candidate for Cambs & P'boro Mayor. Never mind that a majority in Cambs, & overwhelming majority in wards around #MillRoad, supported the #busgate. The bridge isn't closed. This is pretty much his entire pitch: end #warondrivers. Some of his pledges are outside the mayor's remit anyway.

Bus gate, made to catch non-buses physically. Features a cycle lane bypass.

Now that's a #BusGate - near Tilburg
(Yes I know they're supposed to cycle in the cycle bypass, but everyone wanted a very close look at the actual bus gate)

@AndreAlforque #busgate! Love it. I'm curious whether the last minute confusion played a part in that crash.
