Parking in Edinburgh

The City of Edinburgh Council publishes its parking bays as measured outlines, each labelled with who may park there: residents with a permit, Blue Badge holders, paying drivers, motorcycles, car club cars or loading. BayFinder imports every outline at its surveyed shape.

What the source doesn't say

  • The council layer names who may park, not when. Hours and tariffs for metered bays are not published with it, so those bays show as paid with times still to confirm.
