Closed petition Increase the national speed limit to 80mph

Cars are more advanced nowadays. Most cars people commonly drive can exceed 80mph and have brakes to stop in an emergency. 10mph may not seem like a big change, but it could decrease travel time on dual carriageways and motorways by almost 14.3%.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
