Next steps

You can read about the temporary measures that have been installed so far across Edinburgh and the next steps the council are taking by visiting the City of Edinbrgh Council website.

Your comments through this website, along with the suggestions received via email, will help identify and prioritise further temporary measures being installed throughout Edinburgh.

One of the changes that has recently happened is that for several of the main junctions in Edinburgh, you will no longer have to press the button for the ‘green man’ to appear, as it will now show automatically during the traffic signal sequence. This is to keep people safe, as they no longer have to touch the button, and will help towards preventing the spread of Covid-19. Here’s a list of the junctions and crossings where the automation has taken place.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. Remember to share the Edinburgh Commonplace page with your family and friends. The more people involved, the better the needs of the whole community will be reflected.
