Edinburgh’s 20mph Zones: Safety Over Speed | Glasgow News

Published 3 days, 4 hours ago
Description

Edinburgh’s 20mph speed limits, introduced in 2016 to boost road safety, have seen minimal enforcement—with just 21 fines issued since 2022. Despite low ticket numbers, data reveals a significant safety win: a 25% drop in fatalities and 33% reduction in serious injuries. Police Scotland credits the success to self-enforcing behavior and targeted, intelligence-led enforcement, focusing on high-risk areas rather than blanket policing.
