Update of guidance on setting local speed limits

Publisher:
Department for Transport
Date published:
16 December 2009

We have written to highways authorities and other road safety organisations with proposals for updated guidance on setting local speed limits. The consultation on the Road Safety Strategy set out the aims of tackling pedestrian casualties and reducing the risks for road users on rural single carriageway roads. We are therefore proposing to update our advice on 20 mph limits and zones and on reviewing speed limits on rural single carriageway roads. The proposed changes are contained in the letter below, which also invites comments from stakeholders.
