Just to remind everyone of the roadworks on Milton Road West. They are a nightmare and best avoided.

If everyone can keep off the bypass, that'd be good as well - need to fire home to pick up my son in Dunfermline then get my Dad at Kinnaird Park, so if everyone can either clog up another route or at the very least try not to have an accident or that, I'd appreciate it :greengrin

Which makes portobello road/Wakefield Avenue excruciatingly painful at the best of times.

Take the train. You'd be quickest going to Wallyford.

I think everyone needs to take public transport.

It's better for the environment and keeps the roads clear for my car.

Can't, going straight to work from the game and need my car at work when I finish on Saturday morning (I work away).

Queensferry Road crawling from way before the Barnton junction.

Grim.

In fact, scrub that. It’s clear when you get past Barnton. 👍🏼

Traffic bad in Edinburgh right now - advice would be leave with plenty of time and if you need to get tickets arrive early

Bypass moving at 25mph eastbound at Barberton. Fairly standard [emoji850]

Gilmerton Road/ Drum Street crossroads a nightmare too. 4 way traffic lights.

The bypass is always at a standstill on a Thursday night.

Amazing job they’ve done with the roadworks elsewhere though - seems they’ve really thought it through to ensure they can’t be avoided.

Standard procedure:
Plan roadworks
Identify all alternative routes that will be used
Dig up all alternative routes at same time
Ensure all works are carried out when Edinburgh is at its busiest

From the west - Parked at the Gyle & thanks to the Tram 1/2 hour latter at York place, a wee walk down to ER all stress free...

Just took me 30 minutes to drive from Castle Terrace to Lochend Road. Cowgate is pandemonium at the best of times this month but a fire alarm at one of the hostels brought out five fire engines and added to the chaos.

Good luck with that.
