Mr. Tony Lloyd
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any plans to review the speed limits at which traffic may pass through residential areas.
Mr. Peter Bottomley
Applications to the Department for speed limits below 30mph will be considered sympathetically when allied to speed-reducing engineering measures. In residential areas, it is for the local highway authorities to consider individual cases using guidance from the advisory criteria given in circulars Roads 1/80 and 4/83. General policy on speed limits is kept under constant review.
