Motion by the Lord Provost - 20mph Limit Enforcement

Motion by the Lord Provost – 20mph Limit Enforcement

 

“Committee notes:

 

That the citywide introduction of lower speed limits including 20mph has been generally well accepted and resulted in safer roads

 

That during the Coronavirus lockdown there has been a significant and welcome reduction in traffic volumes across the city.

 

That during this period the quieter City roads have encouraged some drivers to exceed these speed limits.

 

The Council have introduced and are continuing to introduce measures to improve space for safe physical distancing and pedestrian and cycling safety through the Spaces for People initiative.

 

There have recently been notable road traffic collisions where excess speed may have been a contributing factor.

 

Requests that the Council Leader should write to the Chief Superintendent, Police Scotland, requesting that they increase the enforcement of speed limits, specifically the 20mph limit, across the City”.
