Edinburgh Council have laid out new plans to put a stop to 'inconsiderate parking', handing out instant fines to those who park their vehicles in cycle lanes and pavements.
The changes, which were laid out in a new report, noted: "Vehicles parking on and obstructing footways and cycleways is an ongoing problem in Edinburgh and whilst the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 introduces a welcome nationwide ban against footway parking, the necessary regulations have yet to be published to allow Local Authorities to use these powers."
The council are now removing the requirement for any observation period to vehicles which park or obstruct footways and cycleways. They've authorised giving instant parking tickets for these circumstances, reports the EEN.
