The Scottish Government has undertaken a National Speed Management Review to examine the potential effects of changes to speed limits across Scotland. The review supports Scotland’s Road Safety Framework to 2030 and seeks to ensure speed limits on Scotland’s roads are appropriate and help contribute to a reduction in injury and death on our roads.
This consultation invites feedback on proposals to lower the national speed limit on single carriageway roads from 60mph to 50mph and to increase speed limits for goods vehicles exceeding 7.5 tonnes on single carriageways from 40mph to 50mph and dual carriageways from 50mph to 60mph.
