School learns of speed zone
SPEED restrictions are to be put in place around a city secondary school, it has been announced.
Traffic around Leith Academy is to be limited to 20mph. The restriction will apply at the times when pupils and teachers enter and leave the school.
Roads in the new zone include Academy Park, Easter Road, Gordon Street, Lochend Road and Primrose Street.
Leith councillor Gordon Munro said he was happy the limitations were being put in place. He said: "If slowing the traffic here means preventing an injury or saving a life, it vindicates the zone."
