Most of the M1 is 'derestricted' a.k.a. the 'National speed limit' (indicated by a circular white sign with a diagonal black line through it). On a derestricted motorway, different speed limits will apply dependant on the vehicle being driven:
70mph
- Cars (unless towing).
- Motorcycles (unless towing).
- Car derived vans (unless towing).
- Multi Purpose vehicles (unless towing).
- Motorhomes under 3.05 tonnes.
60mph
- Cars towing trailers or caravans.
- Motorcycles towing trailers or caravans .
- Car derived vans towing trailers or caravans.
- Multi Purpose vehicles towing trailers or caravans .
- Motorhomes over 3.05 tonnes.
- Buses.
- Coaches.
- Minibuses.
- Goods vehicles.
Some parts of the M1 are not derestricted and in these cases, the speed limit is well signed.

When were speed limits invented?
The first speed limit was passed in England in 1865, setting a limit of 10 miles per hour on trains operating in the country. The first speed limit on automobiles also comes from England; in 1896, a limit of 14 miles per hour was set on what was called at the time "light locomotives". Local governments were given discretion to lower the limit to 12 miles per hour in their towns.
