Rejected petition Raise the speed limit at the M74 , M73 and M8 back to the original 70mph.

These roads were originally 70mph areas. The time it took to get to town was originally about 20minutes. Now that the speed limit has been decreased we are talking around the 45-50 minute mark depending on traffic conditions. I feel if we increase the limit there won't be as much traffic congestion.
