    Have a guess or just check BBC Scotland news.

    St John's Road 4th worst in the poll, Queensferry Rd 8th worst. Streets in whole of Scotland. Surveyed by Friends of the Earth

    "
    On the question of pollution in Glasgow, the government added: "A number of measures are being implemented to reduce air pollution in the city, including a commitment from Glasgow City Council to introduce and enforce Low Emission Zones at the Commonwealth Games venues in 2014."

    Top 15 NO2 polluted streets here, with precise figures showing they all exceed EU limits. Plus top ten for particulate pollution (from diesel) - Salamander Street is there:

    "But, in the scale and urgency of our climate change challenge, we need to think bigger, smarter, bolder. From rail freight to relocalisation, car clubs to cycling – we need to not just think better, but think different."

    @gembo, I presume Main Street in Broxburn, which can get congested.

    The St Johns and Queensferry Roads make it in there. Two of those "key strategic routes" that the council wants to keep as 40mph and "free-flowing traffic", aren't they?
