20mph speed limit roll out
20mph Programme
Moray Council is promoting new 20 mph limits across its communities as part of a national roll out of 20 mph speed limits in built up areas across Scotland.
The ‘Scottish Government and Scottish Green Party Shared Policy Programme’ published on 1 September 2021 includes the commitment that all appropriate roads in built up areas will have a safer speed limit of 20mph by 2025.
This National Strategy for 20mph speed limits aims to expand 20mph speed limits across Scotland and ensure all appropriate roads in built-up areas have a safer speed limit of 20mph by 2025.
The strategy seeks to introduce consistency for 20mph speed limits across the country, simplifying speed limits for drivers.
It seeks to reduce perceptions of road danger, encourage people to walk and wheel, and create more pleasant streets and neighbourhoods by providing a more equitable balance between different road users and will contribute to the implementation of the safe system.
The map below shows both the current speed limit and the proposed 20mph or other limits.
Use the slider to compare between the current speed limits and proposed 20 mph speed limits.
Left side of the slider shows the current speed limit. Right side of the slider shows the proposed speed limit.
There is a layer button 
which indicates the key to each speed limit.
Current speed limits do not include most private roads or car parks.
The map only refers to the local road network and not the A96 or the A95 from Highland to Keith as these are Trunk Roads managed by Transport Scotland. Details of the proposals for these routes will be available in due course.
