Festival Fringe 2017 Traffic & Pedestrianisation Arrangements

Traffic management around the George Square area before and during the Festival Fringe.

The University plays an integral role in supporting the Festival Fringe with many of our buildings and outside areas providing venues. It is a unique opportunity to showcase the vibrancy of the University and the city to the world.

This does mean that there is some disruption to normal service during the summer months and this year there will be quite significant changes made to traffic management around the George Square area during the build and the duration of the Festival Fringe.

In consultation with our Health and Safety experts and the City of Edinburgh Council, The University will be implementing a one way system and pedestrianisation, with full details available below.
