The rollout of a 20mph limit across Midlothian has been done without proper consultation by the Council.

Anyone asked if they would support a plan to reduce RTA's would probably say yes and almost everyone would agree that 20mph in some areas is a good thing but some, especially near schools are only needed for a few hours a day and not needed during holiday periods.

Midlothian Council need to rethink their strategy and change it from an ill thought out farcical policy to one which is created using common sense and which is acceptable to the majority of Midlothian residents.

All the main roads should revert to 30mph and where there is a school this should be reduced to 20mph at appropriate times of the day with additional signage.

Other roads where there is little pedestrian activity or housing should also revert back to 30mph.

Signing this petition will urge Midlothian Council to reconsider the current speed limits and adopt a more practical and balanced approach that benefits everyone. Your support is vital for creating a traffic system that efficiently serves our community’s needs while maintaining safety standards. Please sign and share this petition to make a change.
