It was a close call for the lady trying to cross.”One X user who commented on the post said: "Been like that for ages. I raised it months ago."While another added: "Unfortunately I’m on crutches at the moment, I stood yesterday to cross to get a tram to an appointment and couldn’t believe how many drivers went through the red light even when I was hobbling across… it’s not great."And another said: "Did it myself the other day too much going on looking for pedestrians traffic and bikes I was through before I realised."Edinburgh City Council has been approached for comment by our sister title.
