Edinburgh council is considering reducing speeds on various roads down to 30 miles per hour.
Councillors Lezley Cameron and Scott Arthur both announced online that the city council is now in consultation about the matter.
Cllr Arthur says the City of Edinburgh Council agreed to the consultation last year following complaints from local residents.
The consultation to introduce Traffic Order 30mph speed limits will consider the following roads:
Biggar Road, from a point 65 metres south of Swanston Drive, northwards to the top of Oxgangs Road and Frogston Road West.

Comiston Road, from a point of 13 metres south of Braid Hills Road, southwards to the north of Oxgangs Road and Frogston Road West.
Frogston Brae, from its junction from Frogston Road West to its junction with Frogston Road East.
Frogston Road East, from the junction with Frogston Brae eastwards to its junction with Howden Hall Road, Captain’s Road and Burdiehouse Road.
Frogston Road West, from its junction with Comiston Road and Biggar Road eastwards to its junction with Frogston Brae.
Lanark Road, from a point of 11 metres or thereby east of Spylaw Park, eastwards to a point 24 metres east of Redhall View.
The Council’s Local Transport Strategy contains policies that “state that the Council will undertake a programme of reducing 40mph speed limits to 30mph at locations with urban frontages.
“Reduced speed limits further the council’s ambitions to create environments that encourage walking and cycling and to provide a road network that is safe for all road users.”
Most of the roads are already limited to 30mph at the moment due to a Temporary Traffic Order as part of the Spaces for People programme but the consultation will consider whether to make this permanent.
