Abstract
This paper examines a fresh the whole problem of speed limits. It does not out Government policy. The purpose of this paper is to provide the material for a full public debate. The Minister of Transport's statement of 12th July, 1967, of motorway limits announced the first stage of a new policy for speed limits. This paper deals mainly with the second stage of that policy - the future of speed limits on road other than motorways. It may, of course, be necessary to discuss the motorway limit as part of the general context, but it is primarily the future of speed limits on other roads on which views are sought at the present time.
