HC Deb 20 October 1969 vol 788 c160W
58. Mr. Hordern

asked the Minister of Transport if he will restrict the speed limit on Southgate Avenue, Crawley, to 30 miles per hour.

Mr. Bob Brown

There is already a 30 m.p.h. limit on Southgate Avenue. A 40 m.p.h. limit is however more appropriate for this and other similar main roads in Crawley under the new criteria for speed limits recently announced. My right hon. Friend has therefore directed the local authority to revise the limit on these roads.
