New junction layouts

Photo shows the new junction layout at West Coates and Wester Coates Terrace.

We have installed new junctions at Roseburn and explain how to use them safely.

  • Roseburn Gardens and Roseburn Terrace
  • Wester Coates Terrace and West Coates
  • Roseburn Place and Roseburn Street

We have designed these to give priority to anyone walking, wheeling or cycling, in line with recent changes to the Highway Code. Read about changes to the Highway Code.

These are quite new to Edinburgh but have been successfully used elsewhere in the UK and Europe. While we all adjust to this new way of using our roads, please take extra caution and watch out for others moving in either direction.

Roseburn Gardens and Roseburn Terrace

Drivers

  • There is no exit from Roseburn Gardens to Roseburn Terrace
  • You can access Roseburn Gardens turning left from the westbound lane on Roseburn Terrace.
  • You must give way to people walking or wheeling when turning left into Roseburn Gardens
  • You are not permitted to turn right from Roseburn Terrace into Roseburn Gardens.

Pedestrians

  • You have priority over vehicles turning into Roseburn Gardens from Roseburn Terrace.
  • A permanent, one-hop crossing will be installed, crossing Roseburn Terrace at this junction.

Cyclists

  • You can move in and out of Roseburn Gardens from both directions.
  • Cyclists can use the crossing signal button on the cycle path in Roseburn Gardens, so you don’t block the footway while waiting to cross.

Drivers

  • When leaving Wester Coates Terrace, wait at position B to give priority to pedestrians and cyclists.  Only move to position C if the space is clear, so you don’t block the cycle path and pedestrian route.

Pedestrians

  • Stay to the north side of the bi-directional cycle path. You have priority over vehicles entering and leaving.

Roseburn Place and Roseburn Street

The pavement along Roseburn Street, crossing over Roseburn Place is a continuous footway. This means that pedestrians have priority and drivers must always stop and give way when leaving and entering Roseburn Place.
