HC Deb 10 July 1992 vol 211 cc355-6W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will introduce provisions to enable local highway authorities to provide speed limits in areas where they deem these to be necessary on county roads irrespective of the volume of traffic or number of pedestrians crossing the road; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Following consultation, a review is being conducted into the criteria used for setting speed limits. The new criteria will be more flexible and will allow greater weight to be given to local factors. Revised guidelines will be issued to local highway authorities.
