Speed limits change for lots of reasons. Limits have changed to conserve fuel and for accident reduction.
coz there has
is is because your mom said so
== == There have been so many crashes in the last 100 years so the speed limit has changed to accomodate this and reduce the crashes on British roads
becasue people are stupid and drive to fast lol
Because people are going too fast on the road.
Because of the amount of accidents that happened they had to lower it to 40mph and i like cake and jack brown is gay ""!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for the lulz British roads are typically very narrow while there are a few "highways" as we know them they still are small compared to our interstates. Because of the narrow, winding roads and the high cost of petro "gasoline" speed limits have remained on the slow side.
increasing performance of motor vehicles, increasing traffic, and increasing non-motorized vehicle (bicycles, pedestrians) traffic. For the last twenty years you can pretty much point to the increased revenue that tickets generate when the speed limits are set less than the roads can safely support and less than the speed at which most people are comfortable driving. For the last twenty years it has all been about generating revenue. increasing performance of motor vehicles, increasing traffic, and increasing non-motorized vehicle (bicycles, pedestrians) traffic.

Perhaps, the changing(increasing) number of population which most likely results to increase in the demand for transportation and therefore to the change it speed limits to regulate traffic and safety of commuters and drivers.
Speed limits for cars in Great Britain have changed over the last hundred years due to improvements in road infrastructure and technology, advances in vehicle safety features, and government initiatives to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities. Additionally, changes in societal attitudes towards road safety and environmental concerns have also influenced speed limit adjustments.
Cars have got a lot faster and the roads have improved to allow these speeds. The other side of increased speeds has been the increase in accidents and the terrible cost to human life and also the financial cost to not only the cars but the economy. This has required that the speed limits come down. It has also meant that associated costs and insurance costs go up.
