A route sign for the college tells people on bikes to dismount and use the pedestrian crossing.

A sign for route 8 tells people on bikes to dismount and use the pedestrian crossing. There is plenty of room to provide a proper cycleway.

So having followed red background signs on the "RR" cycle route I now encounter one with a green background, which are meant to be for the opposite direction.

A route sign completely hidden from view by a larger sign!

Tiny signage for the John Muir Way at the entrance to Holyrood Park, and no dropped kerb either.

Another confused sign for the "RR" cycle route. The red (westbound) direction is given as both straight ahead and U-turn back around the Clovenstone Roundabout.

On my first pass of this junction I saw the "RR" cycle route sign on the right at the last minute and continued to head straight on up the road on the left. However, after seeing no further signs, I came back to this junction for another … [more]

Directions in the Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park are by way of these stone blocks. It wasn't obvious to me at the time which way was which, but I see from the map that it gives the name of a nearby street on one side.

Three possible directions for NCN75 on the same sign

NCN75 on North St Andrew Street

A tiny route confirmation sign on Baird Drive. Route 8 Edinburgh Park to City Centre.

End of Route. Cyclists Dismount. No alternative given.

Sign pointing the wrong way.

Route sign pointing in wrong direction, cycle route continues down Dovecot Road straight ahead

Route sign on signed cycle route, but facing opposite direction from the direction cyclists will be coming from!

Sign says to turn right, but you need to cross the toucan crossing across Meadow Place Road first, then turn right onto road at far side

Battered cycle route sign
