Glasgow speed limit lowered
New restrictions apply on the roads in the city centre
A 20 mph speed limit has come into force in Glasgow city centre in a effort to reduce pedestrian casualties.
There aren't any camera systems to catch drivers who break the limit, it's going to be up to the Police to enforce it.
New signs have been put up, and reminders painted on the road, at the entrances to the zone which has a boundary running from south bank of the Clyde around Newton Street, West Graham Street, Cowcaddens Road, North Hanover Street, Cathedral Street and High Street.
Commuter routes such as Paisley Road West, Great Western Road, Springburn Road, London Road, Victoria Road and Eglinton Street are not affected.
The decision follows a six-week public consultation last year when 69 per cent of those who responded were in favour of drivers being forced to cut their speed.
Police say they hope the 20mph limit will be largely self-enforcing with motorists reducing their speed to comply with the new limit.
