HC Deb 16 December 1974 vol 883 c355W
Mr. Newton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what will be the speed limit on sections of dual carriageway, for example at junctions, on roads which are principally of single carriageway only.

Mr. Mulley

If the previous speed limit on the dualled section was 70 mph it will now be 60 mph. This is, of course, a maximum speed, and in many cases it will, as for example at junctions, be impracticable or unwise for drivers to seek to attain it.
