20mph Speed Limits Consultation
The Scottish Government is developing a National Strategy for 20mph speed limits which supports the delivery of the safe system contained in “Scotland’s Road Safety Framework to 2030”. The Framework promotes the continued growth of active and sustainable travel whilst recognising that the perception of urban and rural roads as unsafe is a barrier against these everyday journeys. The Scottish Government seeks to expand 20mph zones and limits in Scotland.
The Strategy aims to introduce a package of measures which support a range of policies from active and sustainable travel to climate change and will assist to reduce road casualties and the perceptions of road danger in our communities.
Ahead of further guidance being issued by Scottish Government, Falkirk Council would like to know your thoughts on the implementation of 20mph speed limits in your area by way of a short survey.
