Reducing speed limit to 50mph on Single Carriageway Roads. P

[Wollemi]

PLEASE respond to this online survey.

THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT ARE PROPOSING TO REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT ON ALL THEIR SINGLE CARRIAGE WAY ROADS TO 50MPH.

Obviously this affects those who live in Scotland the most, but many of us enjoy going to Scotland to enjoy the scenery and their marvellous often traffic free roads.

This is an online consultation, easy to complete, but it is VERY IMPORTANT for as many people as possible who object to it to fill it in.
Otherwise they will be able to say that they carried out a consultation and most people supported it.
Once the limit comes down, it won't be going back up again. And it Scotland does it, the England could follow.

So please find a couple of minutes to respond to this consultation. Thank you

Not fully correct. It also proposes to increase speed limit for HGVs (>7.5 tonnes) to 50mph. The argument being that on single carriageway roads, the current speed differentials lead to frustration and risky overtaking. I guess the argument could be that average speed on NSL single carriageways will increase.

Oxfordshire have already done that, without consultation. What makes you think that the Scottish Government will abide by a "no" vote from the public?
