HC Deb 27 February 1967 vol 742 cc51-2W
Mr. Berry

asked the Minister of Transport what is her policy concerning speed limit restrictions on new lengths of dual carriageway on main roads.

Mr. John Morris

Such roads may be subject to 30 or 40 m.p.h. speed limits in urban areas, and to 50 m.p.h. limits when they are of urban motorway charac- ter. In rural areas they are normally subject only to the 70 m.p.h. speed limit.
