Edinburgh driver 'trapped' in shopping centre car park in side-splitting viral video

An Edinburgh woman has taken to social media after being left bamboozled by a complicated road network.

Luna, who goes by the username @lunahtic on TikTok, posted an update to followers as she arrived at Ocean Terminal. After "driving in the bus lane for five minutes", she couldn't figure out how to get out of the car park.

Thankfully, she wasn't alone - as her 46.4k followers sympathised with her confusion. Just 18 hours after posting the video, Luna already had dozens of comments and hundreds of likes on it.

In the video, Luna says: "I've just driven through the middle of Edinburgh at eight o'clock in the morning, like I seriously annoyed some people towards death.

"I am finally at Ocean Terminal although I'm definitely in the wrong car park, but I don't know how to get out of here. You can't go that way, I don't think.

"Pretty sure I've been in a bus lane for the last five minutes so I have no idea how to get back to the other car park without breaking the law. I shouldn't even be in here I don't think.

"I've had to get out my car to actually look at the roads, you cannot get out of that area without driving in a bus lane. I'm parked that way, its miles away from where I need to be but you cannot get out of here without going in a bus lane. How do you get out? Honestly I'm so stressed."

She wasn't alone in her frustration. A fellow user said: "I did a car boot sale there and leaving at 1.30pm was horrible. I ended up doing a U-turn in the parking area for the flats."

Another made a bold suggestion: "Cover your number plates and go on your way."

However, one fellow TikTok user cleared up the situation. She commented: "You're fine, they are bus lanes specifically. Taxis and cars can use them because it's the only access to Ocean Terminal at the moment."
