A concerned dad has expressed his fears over an "obviously unsafe" city centre junction after flagging it to the council.
Billy Hynes took to Twitter to share a clip of himself struggling to cross at the busy Queensferry Road junction with Learmonth Terrace.

The dad, who has to cross the "accident waiting to happen" road with his four-year-old son Lucas twice a day, noted in his tweet that the dangerous junction lacks traffic signs and has massive bushes on its sides that obstruct the view.
Billy said: "It really is horrible. The traffic island is placed so you can't see the cars coming from the west. They speed around the corner too, seemingly, out of consideration for oncoming traffic."
He has now raised the issue with the City of Edinburgh Council over its website with the authority's transport officers vowing to investigate.
The concerned dad says he has been led to believe the council is prioritising controversial George Street plans to ban cars and open up the New Town thoroughfare to pedestrians, cyclists and outdoor seating by 2027.
Billy said: "I raised a murderous junction on Queensferry Road via Edinburgh Council site. Was told such works were sidelined by the George St project. No signals. No slow. No give way. Just a huge bush in the way."
A spokesperson for the City of Edinburgh Council said: "Officers are aware of the safety concerns and will investigate the possibility to prioritise any improvements to the junction."
