Kent reviews 60mph speed limit – transportxtra

24 January 2021
Kent County Council is to research the effects of reducing the 60mph national speed limit  on single carriageway rural roads. “To replace every sign to 40mph or 50mph would be both a huge cost and, in many circumstances, encourage faster traffic,” says Kent. “Therefore, should our research show a net-benefit, we would present the findings to central government, calling for a national change to the default national speed limit.”
