20mph consultation, research and monitoring

In March 2018, Edinburgh became Scotland's first city to implement a citywide network of streets with a 20mph limit. 

Research shows that limiting speeds to 20mph in busy streets has numerous benefits including

  • reducing deaths and casualties
  • encouraging walking and cycling
  • creating a calmer, more pleasant environment

We have carried out two public consultations and extensive research on 20mph speed limits.
