Vehicle Free Holyrood Park
Ban vehicles from driving along Queen's Drive at Holyrood Park.
Why the contribution is important
I nearly got hit by a taxi today whilst cycling along Queen's Drive. Vehicles NEVER need to drive through Holyrood Park. Banning vehicles from driving along Queen's Drive at Holyrood Park would do 3 things:
1) Reduce air pollution at the park meaning people can breathe in cleaner air
2) Enable pedestrians to walk on the road meaning pedestrians can be socially distanced from other pedestrians walking in another direction on the pavement.
3) Make cycling enjoyable

Sorted - apologies, as this site was designed by the council, naturally they forgot an edit function....

I think that if they do decide to re-open the High Road to traffic, at the very least, measures should be taken to enforce the 20mph speed limit - perhaps speed bumps or at least signs - on a sunny day there are usually people clearly driving faster than 20mph along Queens Road, sometimes shouting angrily at each other or at pedestrians.
