Edinburgh City Council is set to lower the speed limit on 22 roads across the city.
Lanark Road, Biggar Road, Queensferry Road and Milton Link are just a few of the routes expected to change from being 40 mph to 30 mph zones.

It comes after the council carried out an investigation into all 40 mph roads in Edinburgh and held a consultation seeking views on the proposed speed limit reductions.
In total, 52 responses were received including 32 letters of support and 20 objections from individuals, plus two further supporting representations from cycling campaign SPOKES and Low Traffic Corstorphine.
The Transport Committee will meet on Thursday (January 27) to approve the new measures, which the council says will help to encourage more active travel around the capital and "provide a road network that is safe for all road users".
However, Conservative councillors have said they will not support all of the reductions being recommended to the committee.
They are set to table a motion calling for Milton Link, Sir Harry Lauder Road between its junctions with Milton Road East and Baileyfied Road, Calder Road and Wester Hailes Road to be removed from the list.
Conservative group leader Iain Whyte said: "We do still need major roads that we encourage traffic on to to get it out of residential areas and that businesses need to use and people need to use to get in and out of the city.
"While I understand local people's frustration if there's a road, even if it's a main road, that has houses backed on to the front of it or school, or shops or whatever, I can fully understand why people want 30 miles per hour.
"But Milton Link, Sir Harry Lauder Road and the Calder Road are not like that - the pedestrian areas are completely separated away or just don't exist on those roads because they're not for that purpose.
"So I don't see that a road that doesn't have pedestrians and cyclists involved is dangerous at 40 miles per hour if it's a major route into the city and it just seems to be going too far to reduce the speed limit on those when it applies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year."
