A press release announcing the results of Edinburgh, Scotland's 20-mph speed limit pilot finds multiple benefits in walking, biking, and the number of children allowed outside.
Among the findings claimed by the press release:
- "Those considering cycling to be unsafe fell from 26% to 18%."
- "Children cycling to school rose from 4% to 12%. For older primary age children it rose from 3% to 22%."
- "Children allowed to play on the pavement or street rose from 31% to 66%."
- "Walking trips rose 7%, cycling trips rose 5% and car trips fell 3%."
Following the pilot in South Edinburgh, Edinburgh is considering an expanded network of 20 mph speed limits around the city (view a map of the proposed network here).
