Closed petition Increase the speed limit from 70mph to at least 90mph.

Closed on 11 February 2016

The 70mph limit was introduced in 1965 which is looking out of date due to the huge advances in safety, equipment and motoring technologies.

Increasing the speed from 70mph to at least 90mph, will shorten journey times and increase economic benefits and growth.
