Dalry sits in controlled parking Zone S4. During those controlled hours you must either pay at the machine or on the RingGo app, or display a valid Zone S4 residents permit. Like all of Edinburgh's S and peripheral zones, it runs Monday to Friday only and stops at 5:30pm — there's no weekend charging at all. Streets here include Dalry Road, Ardmillan Terrace, Angle Park Terrace, Cobden Terrace, Duff Street, Easter Dalry Road and Atholl Terrace.
When is parking free in Dalry?
- Every weekday after 5:30pm — the bays revert to free.
- All day Saturday and all day Sunday — these zones don't operate at weekends.
Zone S4 sits just west of Haymarket station, with Gorgie (Zone S6) beyond it and Murrayfield Stadium about a mile further west. Because it's free out of hours, the popular streets fill quickly, so you may need a couple of laps. And free bays never excuse a yellow line — double yellows apply 24/7.
