    I wonder if the delays recorded on this route in 2020 included the lengthy closure of Morningside Road when a child was killed by a driver? Or is it easier just to blame the council?

    Is this a press-release / advertorial produced by INRIX, a parking company partly funded by Porsche?

    Next they'll be calling for the highly successful London bike lanes to be ripped out...

    Oh wait...

    The INRIX report for Edinburgh shows an average off-peak speed of 31mph and a peak time average speed on 23mph. Given the vast majority of Edinburgh's roads have a 20mph speed limit, what this report really shows is the extent of speeding in the city.
