4,000 Glasgow streets to have speed limit cut to 20mph

Mr Millar said moving to 20mph was “technically complex”, but the council was working with national partners to identify the best ways to take it forward.

“A citywide 20mph speed limit will bring Glasgow in line with many other UK cities and help to create safer streets and communities for all of us, reducing the risk of accidents and the severity of injuries sustained,” he said.

He added that moving to 20mph was “technically complex”, but the council was working with national partners to identify the best ways to take it forward.

Alongside capital funding, the scheme is being supported by a grant from Places for Everyone and administered by Sustrans.

Karen McGregor, Scotland Director at Sustrans said: “Time and time again, the evidence has shown that lowering speed limits in our built-up areas creates neighbourhoods that are safer for everyone and that this makes the biggest positive difference for our most vulnerable people such as children, older people and those living with disability.”
