HC Deb 01 December 1986 vol 106 cc507-8W
45. Mr. Higgins

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will place signs on motorways indicating that the maximum legal speed limit is 70 mph.

Mr. Moore

National speed limits are not generally signed numerically on any roads, including motorways. The current motorway sign, placed only at the entrances to motorways, denotes that the motorway regulations apply; these include the 70 miles per hour limit unless there are specific signs showing a lower limit is in force.

47. Mr. Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has any plans to raise the 70 miles per hour limit on motorway traffic.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

No.
