Driving Lessons in Morningside, Edinburgh

Speed Limits in South West Edinburgh

Like elsewhere in Edinburgh many of the residential streets in Morningside, Merchiston and Bruntsfield will be set as 20mph roads, so be sure to keep an eye on your speed here.

Exceptions to this are the larger roads, Polwarth Terrace and Colinton Road, which have stretches marked as 30mph.

There is also a Dual Speed and Red Light Safety Camera on Colinton Road west of Gray’s Loan, near The Edinburgh Clinic.

As well as watching your speed around this part of Merchiston, it is important you watch out for pedestrians as well – since you are near George Watson’s College and the Steiner School, as well as one of Edinburgh Napier University’s three main campuses.

Other Local Tips from our Instructors

South West Edinburgh boasts a great number of quiet residential pockets that are suitable for practising basic manoeuvres (outwith peak hours).

If you would like to practice bay parking in between your driving lessons, there is a reasonably sized car park at the Asda Chesser Supercentre, near the Edinburgh Corn Exchange and Slateford Train Station. Alternatively there is a another small car park at Waitrose at 145 Morningside Road.
