Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he next plans to review speed limits in England.
This question was answered on 9th May 2016
There are no plans to review national speed limits in England except for temporary speed limits at road works. Local traffic authorities are responsible for setting speed limits on local roads where local needs and conditions suggest a speed limit which is lower than the national speed limit. Traffic authorities have the flexibility to set local speed limits that are appropriate for the individual road, reflecting local needs and taking account of local considerations.
