Driving Practices in Comely Bank and Craigleith
Roads around the West End of Edinburgh can be quite narrow with lots of parked cars, so when learning you will need to drive at a speed that will match the road conditions. For complete beginners, the first driving lesson will usually be carried out in an area that is more suitable for pupils with very little or no driving experience.
Local Tips
As is common with lots of areas in Edinburgh, a lot of the more residential streets have a mandatory 20mph speed limit. Learners should look out for these signs as well as the repeater speed limit signs usually attached to lamp-posts. The cobbled streets can also be quite slippery so learners should allow plenty of time for breaking especially in wet conditions.
There are a number of streets which attract a high level of road traffic and pedestrian usage because of schools or hospitals, for example the area around the Western General Hospital, Fettes College and Broughton High School, and around Stewart’s Melville College.
