(Partly) Car-free Royal Mile
Following on from yesterday’s piece about litter and pedestrianization (Edinburgh Dirty City): John Innes had written a report in the Scotsman explaining that the Royal Mile is going to be made car-free – but only the section between Parliament Square and Cockburn Street.

I was interested to read that this stretch of the Royal Mile actually does have traffic restrictions now, but “many car drivers … regularly flout the ban despite the threat of police action”. That includes me! I didn’t know it wasn’t allowed. Either my eyesight isn’t very good, or the signs are rather discreet!
Anyway this is one motorist who would like to see the whole of the Royal Mile car-free.
