Residents will have seen new 20mph signage going up on lamp-posts and being painted on roads throughout Barnton, Cramond, Davidson’s Mains, Muirhouse and Silverknowes. This is part of the city-wide roll out of 20mph as agreed by the last Council in January 2015.
Even though the signage is going up, the new 20mph limit will not come into force in these areas until Wednesday 16 August.
As part of this third phase of the project, virtually all roads in the area will be 20mph. Roads which will not change include:
- Queensferry Road (remaining 40mph)
- Whitehouse Road (between the Barnton junction and Gamekeeper’s Road remaining 30mph)
- Gamekeeper’s Road (remaining 30mph)
- Cramond Road South (30mph)
- Lauriston Farm Road (30mph)
- Silverknowes Parkway (30mph)
- Ferry Road (30mph)
- Muirhouse Parkway (30mph)

These changes come after the 20mph roll out in Queensferry, Dalmeny, Kirkliston, Newbridge and Ratho Station last year.
The fourth and final phase of the project throughout south Edinburgh is due to take place in January 2018. There will then be a full review of all streets after a year.
