The police have been pretty good, they turn up every now and again and dish out some fines, but a day or two after it's back to normal.</p> <p>We apparently need a legal change to allow ANPR enforcement, I was wondering/hoping that some of the high profile cases of drivers ignoring restrictions on Leith Walk might lead to this being brought in quicker. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21237#post-366242 Wed, 01 Feb 2023 19:13:02 +0000 chdot 366242@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Police were patrolling the area outside St Mary’s Primary in Leith when they saw drivers disregarding road signs warning that cars were not allowed to enter the area, which is a pedestrian and cycle zone when lights were flashing. Officers said 11 motorists had infringed the rules which are designed to make the school surroundings as safe as possible when children are arriving or leaving the premises.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/edinburgh-crime-11-parents-fined-for-ignoring-parking-ban-outside-st-marys-primary-school-in-leith-4010656" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/edinburgh-crime-11-parents-fined-for-ignoring-parking-ban-outside-st-marys-primary-school-in-leith-4010656</a> </p>
