New cycle lanes will be installed along tram routes in Edinburgh following the death of a cyclist.

Zhi Min Soh fell from her bike after its wheels became jammed in tracks on Princes Street in May.

The 24-year-old medical student was run over by a bus and later died of her injuries.

Edinburgh City Council has now revealed plans for red-surfaced cycle lanes on and around Princes Street.

The council is also organising a publicity campaign urging road users to "look out for each other".

Transport convener Lesley Macinnes said: "Road safety is one of the council's top priorities and we've been working very closely with cycling groups for many months on ways to help make it easier for cyclists to safely cross tram tracks in the city centre."

The new lanes will show cyclists the best angle for crossing the tracks to prevent their wheels slipping or jamming.

It is the first stage of a three-phase project to improve safety for cyclists in the city. Later stages could include changes to traffic lights and road layouts.

Edinburgh City Council said work on project was under way before Ms Soh's death.

Dave de Feu, from cycling pressure group Spokes, said: "The council rightly recognises that many crashes occur because traffic pressures force the cyclist into the tramlines at a poor angle.

"We urge the council to progress rapidly with the consultations and traffic orders required for phases two and three."
