Signs Being Installed, North of the City
New 20mph speed limit signs are now being installed across streets in the North of Aberdeen — and once signs are in place, the new limit becomes enforceable.
Aberdeen City Council Co-Leader Cllr Ian Yuill said:
“Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable on our streets. Lower speeds mean fewer serious injuries and safer streets for everyone.”
Cllr Miranda Radley, Vice Convener of the Net Zero, Environment & Transport Committee, added:
“A person hit at 30mph is seven times more likely to die than at 20mph. Introducing 20mph limits in residential areas is a key step in improving road safety.”
This rollout supports the Scottish Government’s plan to expand 20mph limits across built-up areas, helping to halve road deaths by 2030 and reduce them to zero by 2050.
The city’s central and southern areas will follow after the northern installation is complete.
