20mph Speed Limits Unveiled in Highlands

The Highland Council in Scotland has approved a Traffic Regulation Order to make 20mph the default speed limit across its region. This move is part of a larger national strategy by the Scottish Government to ensure consistent speed limits across Scotland by 2025. The council, chosen as an early adopter, has collaborated with Transport Scotland. The initiative aims to enhance road safety, reduce accident rates, and create safer environments for communities. Implementation will soon begin in areas like Nairn and Caithness, finalizing the extensive rollout of speed limit signage.
