Edinburgh considers 20mph zone roll out despite speeds reducing by less than 2mph

Edinburgh residents will be asked to give their views on plans to reduce speed limits on 30mph roads to 20 mph — despite a study showing the last expansion of the scheme resulted in an average reduction of less than two miles an hour.

The council is set to launch a £30,000 consultation on the proposals which will consider "all roads that are 30," according to the transport convener.

Cllr Scott Arthur added residents will have an opportunity to "nominate streets in their ward that are currently 30 in the anticipation that they'll be considered for reduction to 20".
