We have not had any discussions with external organisations on extending the 50 mph speed limit trial for HGVs on the A9 to other single-carriageway trunk roads. The recently published Road Safety Framework to 2030 has committed to undertaking a National Speed Management Review; this will include the consideration of HGV speed limit policy. The review will commence during the current year and will consider appropriate vehicle speeds within a Scottish context. The process, which will include stakeholder and public consultation, will thereafter consider whether any changes to speed limits may be beneficial for specific locations on the trunk road network.
