A busy Wester Hailes road with a "history of pedestrian collisions" will be visited by the police speed camera van.
The east safety camera unit will arrive at Murrayburn Road next Monday (24 June) following concerns that drivers had been exceeding the 30mph speed limit.
Those behind the unit have been working with the City of Edinburgh Council to identify sites which would benefit most from camera enforcement.
And they say that they are "troubled" by the fact motorists have been speeding on the route as it's often used by children walking to and from school.
Andy Jones, east safety camera unit manager, said: "This route has a history of pedestrian collisions and there have been concerns raised by the community about the failure of drivers to adhere to the 30mph speed limit.
"This is particularly troubling as the road is used by pupils walking to and from local schools. We hope that the presence of the van will deter drivers from travelling above the speed limit."
Transport and environment convener, councillor Lesley Macinnes , said: "We welcome the presence of the mobile camera van to encourage motorists to think about their speed; it is vital that drivers observe the 30mph speed limit, which will ensure vulnerable road users can travel safely and encourage journeys on foot or by bike."
