Cycling
There are dedicated cycle lanes to and through Leith Walk and the Shore from the city centre.

Parking
While we want to encourage more people to choose public transport, walking or cycling, we know that some of you do need a car to get around.
Recent changes to parking in the area have provided more parking for people with disabilities. Anyone with a blue badge can park in pay and display and shared bays and also single and double yellow lines under certain conditions.
Find out more about where you can park if you have a blue badge.
While the Shore itself has limited parking, making it a more pleasant area to walk around, there is parking in nearby streets within a short walk of the Shore.
You can find full details on parking spaces on our interactive map.
