HC Deb 17 December 1975 vol 902 c686W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the outcome of his Department's reconsideration of the 40 mph speed limit on the A487 trunk road at Tremadog, with particular reference to the representations made to him by parents in the area who are worried by the speed of traffic passing the entrance to the school.

Mr. John Morris

The review of the speed limit has not yet been concluded. I shall write to the hon. Member in due course.

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how often speed limits on trunk roads in Wales are normally reviewed; and what are the circumstances in which a speed limit greater than 30 mph is allowed in areas of known danger, such as in the vicinity of a school.

Mr. John Morris

They are kept under regular review in the light of changing conditions. Speed limits are fixed after an objective assessment of all factors, including the proximity of schools.
