Speed Limits

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 10 June 2025UIN 57659

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to update the 20mph zone guidance for England.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

We have no current plans to revise Setting Local Speed Limits. We believe that traffic authorities are best placed to decide where lower limits will be effective on the roads for which they are responsible, and that consultation and community support should be at the heart of the process.
