Rejected petition INCREASE OF SPEED LIMIT ON MOTORWAYS AND DUAL CARRIAGEWAYS
Fully review the capabilities (or data obtained through manufacturer testing) of modern vehicles such as stopping distances (wet/dry) from a broad spectrum of vehicle manufacturers and review the UK speed limits on all roads in line with the new data.
More details
Vehicles of today have a greater performance in speed, stopping distance and safety than the vehicles around the time the current speed limits were set. The increase has specifically been sought on roads with multiple lanes.
