These are the 21 Edinburgh roads due to have their speed limits reduced from 40mph to 30mph
More than 20 roads in Edinburgh will see their speed limits reduced from 40mph to 30mph as part of a push to reduce speeds across the city.
Councillors are set to approve a move to slow down vehicles on 21 roads in the Capital at Thursday's Transport and Environment committee meeting.

Queensferry Road, which the Evening News revealed last week is the worst hotspot for the fastest speeders in the city, will also see its speed drop to 30mph.
Once approved, it will take the council between a year and 18 months to bring the changes into reality, with signage and road markings put in place.
Traffic surveys will then take place nine months after the new limits are introduced with the potential for further measures including speed bumps and vehicle activated signs being installed to drive down speeds.
The cost of new signs and road markings is estimated to cost the council £50,000, with the total cost of the project hitting just under £75,000.
Another report due to be approved on Thursday will see all of Edinburgh's 30mph undergo a "strategic review" with a view to expand the 20mph speed limit to more of the Capital's roads.
