Edinburgh trams take action after rule breaking drivers almost run over man

The Trams to Newhaven project has said that they will be installing traffic management systems to obstruct motorists from turning onto Brunswick Road from Leith Walk.

Many Edinburgh residents have been complaining about the dangerous driving that has seen several people almost knocked over by motorists flouting the rules. One local man spoke earlier this week about how he was almost mown down despite a green man appearing on the lights at the junction connecting Brunswick Road and Leith Walk.

Edward Tissiman, 28, who works as a civil servant has been campaigning on Twitter ever since the incident occurred. He has called on Edinburgh City Council and police to take immediate action before someone is killed or seriously injured.
