The arrangements for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay will also involve a number of road closures and parking restrictions in the city centre to facilitate the events taking place, which unfortunately can bring some disruption, particularly to traffic flows, parking and loading. Several roads will be subject to closures and parking restrictions to ensure that on-street events can take place in safety. Some restrictions to parking will also be required to ensure diversion routes in the city are kept clear. We work closely with the City of Edinburgh Council to keep disruption to a minimum.
In the lead up to the events, look out for advance warning signs in place on major access routes to the city centre that provide closure details.
The information on road closures and parking restrictions will be correct at the time of going to print. However minor alterations may be necessary if circumstances change. Any amendments will be advertised by way of street notices.
