It was hoped that police being on site would help deter rule breaking motorists and ensure the safety of young children trying to attend their local school.
There is a pedestrian zone outside of the school that only allows pedestrians and cyclists when lights are flashing however those in cars and motorbikes have been found to be ignoring the zone.
Police Scotland said that they would be back to the school in order to ensure that they can maintain safety at Colinton primary.
They shared on Twitter: “We had a presence outside Colinton Primary School @ColintonPrimary this morning after reports of drivers ignoring these signs. They're there to keep children safe! We'll be back.”
