The greenways were set times normally about 7:30 to 6:30 mon to friday (sat in some places as well). This was changed last year to what it is now. Most, if not all are mon to friday and only between usually rush hour times.
It is as though people in edinburgh cant adjust to change and just continue to do what they have always done. It usually means quicker driving for me as I know how to read signs

As for the Op, as stated legally or not the driver is in the wrong. It is still an operational lane and traffic could be coming down at any time.

And the driving test thing i failed a 'mock' test which I still dispute to this day.I was driving down Willowbrae road in the right lane as I knew we were heading straight over at the junction. The greenways were drivable at the time, but it is a left turn only onto london road at the end. A car undertook me as presumably was turning left and the instructer said i would have failed my test for that I said but I dont want to be in that lane as im going straight on, but he said it didnt matter as I should be using the greenways and the factr i was undertook means its an auto fail. Sure the guy was talking pish
I would be on the side of your teacher there.

A trick is always to put yourself in the head of a stranger to the road. They don't know that the end of the road is "left-only", and won't until they see any signs or road markings; therefore, if they obey the HC, they will stay in the left lane. You, though, are using your local knowledge.... and, although understandable and practical, is technically wrong.

As for the bus lanes, many of them have been rush-hour only for years.
