Speed limits

Last year the council proposed to reduce the speed limit on the A930 between Panmure Street and Guthrie Terrace to 30mph. The legal traffic order was concluded in November and the council’s traffic engineers are in the process of implementing signage changes. It is anticipated that these will be in place by the end of March. The council will publicise the change and will work with Tayside Police to reinforce the new speed limit.
At tomorrow’s City Development Committee there is a proposal to also reduce the speed limit on the section of the A930 between Margaret Crescent and Ellieslea Road.  I have been advised that if the change is agreed the new limit will be introduced in the late summer, following the necessary traffic order process.
After these two speed limits have been applied it will mean that the main road that passes through Broughty Ferry will be 30mph along its entirety.
