Perth and Kinross Council have implemented several temporary 20mph speed limits as part of it Spaces for People project. Funded by Scottish Government and managed by Sustrans Scotland, Spaces for People is a temporary infrastructure programme in Scotland offering funding and support to make it safer for people who choose to walk, cycle or wheel for permitted journeys and exercise, while physical distancing is in place during Covid-19 and as we transition out of lockdown.The temporary 20mph speed limit trials will help to protect public health by enabling safe physical distancing for essential journeys and exercise for everyone, in particular where there are spaces constraints or user safety concerns. The temporary speed limits can last up to 18 months.Counts will be required to provide important information on vehicle speeds, traffic volumes, classification and direction of traffic. This will allow us to monitor the effectiveness of the temporary 20mph speed limit.
