Edinburgh's Slow Road to Safer Streets

0:00Edinburgh's transport system has big ambitions for safer roads and pavements, but without real political backing and cash, we're sliding backwards on. Accessibility. City Council members talk up road safety and meetings, yet they keep voting down moves to cut car use, boost pedestrians, or pop money into buses and trams.

Sure, there's been some winds like a ban on pavement parking, more 20 mile per hour zones, and extra budget for drop curbs, but it's moving way. Too slow for real change. Those plans like the city mobility plan, vision zero, to wipe out road deaths, and a 30% drop in car miles are solid on paper we just need. The will to make them happen citywide. That wraps Edinburgh news today, brought to you with AI, I'm Corey with the story.
