In Great Britain, the national speed limit which is in place unless otherwise signed is:
There are different speed restrictions for goods vehicles, large vehicles and vehicles that are towing.
Speed limits in the U.K. are displayed in miles per hour, like the U.S. Most roads will have speeds under 60, with 60 and 70 reserved for motorways. 60 is also the default limit on roads with no speed limit. There are also lower limits for certain types of vehicles, such as lorries, vehicles with trailers or caravans, and heavy vehicles.
Speed limits in Britain are quoted in miles per hour and in Europe they are quoted in kilometres per hour.
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.
because there have been too many accidents. changing the speed limits means there is a decreases in accidents
coz there has
Roads are built for safety and speed limits are determined by the conditions of the road on which they are posted.
== == 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
on highways there are no limits... rest of the roads follow standart EU speed limits Germany has no Universal Motorway Speed Limit, but on such roads, as well as motorways, a recommended speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph) applies.On an open radd, the spee limit is about 100km/h. In a town 50km/h.
becasue people are stupid and drive to fast lol
Because people are going too fast on the road.
Yes, just follow posted speed limits.
Varies by jurisdiction. In Texas, these roads have speed limits of up to 75 MPH.
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.
