A few years ago they started to develop Leith harbour. They built blocks of flats, terraces of houses, laid roads……then, CRASH, it all stopped. I can understand how these projects hit the buffers, but this little false start of a road with its pointless, well-painted junction leaves me wondering.
Why would you tarmac the roads before laying the foundations for the buildings? But, really, why would you PAINT THE WHITE LINES on a road which, after three paces, ends in shrub and grass? Complete with the double dashed “give way” rule? Give way when you’re coming from where?
What do you think of this road less travelled? This road to nowhere? This abandoned little bit of hope and planning?
What do you think of bothering to mark the rules of the road so long before anyone can ever be subject to those rules?
I’m not sure what I think about all this, but I do know this image is disturbing to me. It keeps popping back into my head and asking me questions. It’s an image without answers.

I put this in the category of Because That’s What You Do. No deviations. We’re the troublemakers who ask pesky questions. Glad I don’t live with whoever did the job.
