Proposed 12 hour per day 60 mph limit for 32 miles north of Nottingham. Strangely the same area that already has speed cameras. I wonder which council that is......ridiculous

Aren't trials starting in Kent to have 80mph limits?
Road safety makes no difference - though in this case the claim is to reduce polution. -

Ridiculous.
Anyone knows that it's not the speed one is doing, more the load being exerted on the engine.
For example, driving at 50 mph in second gear would result in more particulates being belched out than driving at 80mph in 6th or overdrive.Comment

We have just had managed motorway changes completed on the m62 around Leeds and it has made travel better in many ways. However, it is used as and when required whereas this seems an attempt at a blanket reduction in a national speed limit regardless of traffic conditions.Comment

Cant they just increase fuel duty by 100% or something so that a vast majority cannot afford fuel and so pollution levels go down.
All this pollution nonsense as if the world is going to end in next 10 years.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

As it's a proposal that's been put out to consultation at this stage, perhaps objections to it would be better addressed to the Highways Agency than to some bunch of imaginary people on the Internet who can't do anything about it other than submit their own objections: https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...n_Document.pdfComment
