HC Deb 17 December 1984 vol 70 cc71-2W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will introduce legislation to give statutory effect to advisory speed limits indicated on motorways; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

I am considering this matter and will make a statement as soon as possible.

Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will take steps to install overhead speed limit indicators on all motorways; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

Gantry mounted signals are installed on motorways where there is a need to display different restrictions over individual lanes. These are, typically, on the approaches to motorway/motorway interchanges, on an elevated motorway or on approaches to motorway tunnels.
