Where the LEZ boundary runs
The LEZ boundary circles the city centre from Tollcross to Palmerston Place, along Queen Street to Picardy Place, round Abbeyhill and Holyrood Road, along the Pleasance and back along the Meadows. The boundary roads themselves are not in the zone, so any vehicle may drive around them.
