Low Emission Zone


Located in the heart of the City Centre, Market Street hotel sits within the boundary of Edinburgh’s new Low Emissions Zone (LEZ). Created to improve air quality and reduce harmful emissions from road traffic, the new zone will operate 24/7, restricting vehicles driving within the LEZ.


What does this mean for guests travelling by car?



From the 1st of June 2024 Penalty Charge Notices will be issued to cars driving within the LEZ that do not comply with the minimum emissions standards. This will apply to all vehicles except those with an exemption, and motorcycles/mopeds. For UK-registered vehicles, the registration can be checked via the vehicle checker to see if it meets LEZ standards. For non-UK registered vehicles, please contact your national vehicle authorities to confirm your compliance status before travelling.
