A 28-year-old civil servant from Edinburgh has said that he felt compelled to campaign for increased safety measures at a junction on Leith Walk as he feared that someone might be killed.
Edward Tissiman was almost mowed down by a car when crossing the junction at Brunswick Road while on his way to the pub. He was horrified to realise that drivers were continuously breaking the rules by turning off Leith Walk into the arterial road.
He chased up the local authority, local councillors, the Newhaven tram project, the police as well as local press to try to assist his attempts to clampdown on the illegal moves. But he claims that he was frustratingly met with little action at first.
