Edinburgh’s best streets love 20mph

Published 12 March 2015 by Colin Howden

We’re very pleased to see The City of Edinburgh Council pressing ahead with its praiseworthy plans for turning Edinburgh into a 20mph city. The Council’s transport and environment committee is to vote on the plans on Tuesday 17 March.

Living Streets Edinburgh have been churning out some impressive materials in support of the plans on their Twitter account. We particularly liked their ‘Westminster vs Holyrood’ comparison:

#20mph for #Edinburgh will make the city a safer place. Slower speeds = better chance of survival if hit by a car. pic.twitter.com/npTbNmImqF
