What steps are being taken, following the National Speed Management Review public consultation, to improve road safety and manage speed lim…

Transport Scotland has published the findings from the National Speed Management Review (NSMR) public consultation, which ran from November 2024 to March 2025 and received over 19,500 responses.Following close consideration of consultation responses Ministers have decided not to take forward changes in relation to national speed limits on single carriageway. Further work will be undertaken to continue to analyse the impact on road casualties and journey times of a speed limit change on different standards of single carriageways.In relation to Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) speed limits, work will be undertaken to progress steps to increase speed limits on single and dual carriageways for this vehicle type. This change aims to reduce the speed differential between HGVs and other vehicles, helping to reduce driver frustration and improve journey time reliability.The consultation findings and additional information are available at: Road Safety | National Speed Management Review | Transport Scotland
