Last week’s City Development Committee approved
a city wide consultation exercise on potential areas where 20mph speed limits
could be implemented. These are primarily in residential streets. It is intended
to keep the current speed limits on the principal road network.
Initial consultation has already been held
with the Scottish Ambulance Service, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Police Scotland
and the main bus operators in the city. Community councils, tenants and residents
associations, local community planning partnerships and other community organisations
will also be consulted.
It is thought that the introduction of 20mph speed
limits in residential areas could improve road safety and encourage more
sustainable modes of transport such as walking and cycling.
You can view where the council feels 20mph limits
may be appropriate on the council’s website at http://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/20mphconsultation
and complete an online survey.
The consultation period runs until 30 June 2016
so that as many people and organisations as possible can have a say.
