Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy to impose 20mph speed limits on school roads; and if he will provide funding to devolved Administrations to purchase speed limit signs for each (a) primary and (b) high school.

In England, responsibility for setting local speed limits rests with the traffic authority. The Department for Transport advises that in specific and limited areas traffic authorities should consider the use of 20mph schemes, for example outside schools.

Speed limits in Northern Ireland are a matter for the Department for Infrastructure.

There are no plans to provide specific funding to devolved Administrations for the purchase of speed limit signs.
