30mph speed limit to roll out across Edinburgh from June
It's part of Edinburgh council's citywide speed reduction plan
Last updated 26th May 2025
Speed limits are being cut on roads across Edinburgh from next month.
From Monday June 9, new 30mph zones will start rolling out - beginning with Biggar Road - as part of a citywide speed reduction plan.
Drivers are being urged to watch for new signs going up through June and July. Once in place, the 30mph limit will be enforced.
Transport and Environment Convener, Councillor Stephen Jenkinson said: “Road safety is a key priority for us and I’m glad that we’re moving ahead with this important process. Whilst this has taken longer than we initially anticipated, I’m confident that these measures will make many of our roads across the city safer.
“The evidence is clear - lower speed limits make roads safer for everyone. A pedestrian or cyclist has twice the chance of surviving a collision at 30mph compared to 40mph. Any action that we can take to make sure all road users are safer is a positive step.”
You can view a map of the roads with new 30mph speed limits on the council's website.
