The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what guidance her Department has provided to local authorities on 10mph speed limits.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Decisions on making local speed limits on roads in England rest with traffic authorities who have responsibility for roads in local areas. The Department for Transport issues best practice guidance to assist authorities 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.
