SPEED LIMITS

The Highway Code states that 'you must not exceed the maximum speed limits for the road and for your vehicle'. Street lights usually mean that there is a 30mph speed limit unless there are signs showing another limit.

These are the national speed limits and apply to all roads unless signs show otherwise

* The 30 mph limit applies to all traffic on all roads in England and Wales (only Class C and unclassified roads in Scotland) with street lighting unless signs show otherwise)

+ 60 if articulated or towing a trailer
