Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when her Department plans to assess whether national speed‑limit guidance remains adequate in light of changes to traffic volumes, vehicle technology and road‑safety developments; and when it intends to publish the updated guidance linked to the forthcoming Road Safety Strategy, including what information it will contain.

Work to update the Setting Local Speed Limits guidance is expected to commence shortly. No timetable has yet been set for the publication of the revised guidance.

This update will ensure the guidance remains aligned with current policy priorities and emerging evidence. The detailed scope and content of the updated guidance will be developed as that work progresses.
