Coillesdene Area Traffic Calming

Overview

A traffic management trial was implemented by the City of Edinburgh Council in February 2022 in the Brunstane Road and Coillesdene area through an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order. The trial includes the closure of Brunstane Road at the railway bridge in conjunction with measures at various locations in the Coillesdene area to reduce unnecessary through traffic.

The trial was introduced because residents on Brunstane Road, between Milton Road and the railway bridge, have experienced long-standing traffic problems. Council’s Transport and Environment Committee agreed in January 2021 that the trial scheme could be progressed and in December 2021 the decision was made to implement the trial using an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO).
