20 mph becomes the new normal beyond Wales — Scotland’s October push locks in the end-2025 pledge

20 mph Speed Limit Becomes the New Normal

Speed limits of 20 mph have become the standard in Wales and are now being implemented beyond. Scotland is pushing to lock in this limit by the end of 2025, starting with an October initiative.

As humans, we are never fully protected from daily dangers, but authorities are working to improve safety through new regulations, including 20 mph speed limits.

The UK Government reported a 1% increase in road fatalities and a minor change in killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties in 2024, with 1,633 fatalities and 29,537 KSI casualties.

See how this new normal could affect you when you travel in Scotland.
