Speed Limits: Lincolnshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to help tackle speeding in Lincolnshire.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Enforcement of the speed limit is for the police. The Department for Transport makes highways and local transport funding available to local transport authorities, who decide how to use the funding to support local priorities. Local authorities have the responsibility of making decisions about the roads under their care, based on their knowledge of the area and taking into account local needs and considerations. This includes setting local speed limits and introducing traffic calming measures.
