Tractors and Trailers: Speed Limits
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that tractor and trailer drivers comply with legal speed limits on public roads.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Local authorities are asked to have regard to the Department’s guidance Setting Local Speed Limits, designed to make sure that speed limits are appropriately and consistently set while allowing for flexibility to deal with local circumstances, but the final decision is for the traffic authority, working with the police who would carry out any enforcement.
