Travelling Safely projects

Silverknowes Road scheme

Silverknowes Road

In June 2023 the Council’s Transport and Environment Committee agreed to remove the Silvernowes Road scheme from the wider Travelling Safely area based ETROs and to consider revisions to the layout before proceeding with advertising the ETRO.

The revised scheme and associated ETRO was advertised on 11 August 2025. This process started a new trial which can last for up to 18 months.

North section of Silverknowes Road

The revised road layout, which would have provided a protected cycleway alongside two way traffic flow, planned as part the new trial could not be implemented along this section due to the condition of the road, which had deteriorated significantly while the road was closed.

Works to fully reconstruct the road commenced on 15 June. This section of Silverknowes Road will remain closed during the construction period, which will likely be around 8 to 10 weeks.

Once the works are complete, the road will reopen to two-way traffic.  As no trial was undertaken of the revised road layout, the protected cycleway cannot be retained.

South section of Silverknowes Road

The revised scheme was implemented under ETRO/21/30C on the 11 August 2025. Representations with feedback on the trialled measures could be submitted during its 6-month statutory public consultation, which ran from 11 August 2025 until the 10 February 2026.

Next steps

We are now analysing the representations received during the consultation period and aiming to report back to TRO Sub Committee before the end of 2026.

The TRO Sub-Committee will consider the results of the consultation and make a decision on how to proceed.

The TRO Sub-Committee can:

  • Approve making the ETRO provisions permanent;
  • Approve making the ETRO provisions permanent with minor modifications, provided such modifications would not extend the application of the order or increase the stringency of any prohibition or restriction contained in it;
  • Approve making the ETRO provisions permanent in part; or
  • Refuse making the ETRO provisions permanent.
