A city-wide 20mph speed limit is to be rolled out across Glasgow, under plans by the council.
The plan, to cut accidents and improve air quality, is moving forward with extra cash allocated to get it in place in the coming years.
The plan to cut the speed limit is intended to help reduce road fatalities and casualties and help the environment with less pollution. George Gillespie, Executive Director of Neighbourhoods at the council, said it would use powers from the government to introduce the rules. “The ETRO simplifies the process somewhat and allows the Council to advertise, make the Order and then ask for comments/ objections during a monitoring period. An ETRO lasts for 18 months and the Council would then have to decide if it was to make or amend the Order.”The policy is for a majority of roads to be 20mph by 2030 working with the police on enforcement.
