The introduction of low-cost zebra crossings on Edinburgh's streets could take "several years," it has emerged, after a bid to conduct a trial in the capital failed.
The crossings, which would only be used on side streets, still use zebra markings but not Belisha beacons on either side and are significantly cheaper for local authorities to create and maintain as they don't rack-up energy bills.
Furthermore, they are said to encourage more walking by making people feel safer when crossing the road.
