20mph Programme
Decision-making process
The Highland 20mph programme was presented at the following committees:
- Economy and Infrastructure Committee on 10 November 2022 - Item 8
- Economy and Infrastructure Committee on 4 May 2023 – Item 15
- Economy and Infrastructure Committee on 16 November 2023 – Item 12
Following the assessment of 165 settlements with existing 30mph speed limits across the Highlands, a recommendation was submitted to Transport Scotland that 125 sites be included as part of their National 20mph Implementation Strategy
As well as 20mph signage, other road safety interventions such as electronic signs, lining and some temporary traffic calming features will be introduced during 2025 to support the 20mph speed limit
Dialogue with Members, Community Councils and the general public has been ongoing throughout the 18 month trial period including an informal public consultation, which was undertaken at the end of December 2023/ beginning of January 2024. All of this information has shaped the road network that is contained within the final draft TRO .
Statutory consultation commenced in December 2024 and full public consultation commenced in January 2025
