What is the speed limet in the united kingdom?

Answer 1

The national speed limit in the UK is 60 miles per hour and this is indicated by a white circle with a black diagonal line through it.

The speed limit on UK motorways and dual carriageways is 70mph. This can also be indicated by the same sign described above.

There are a variety of different speed limits employed within the UK for different locations and these are indicated by a white circle with a red border and the limit indicated with black numbers in the middle.

30mph is the general speed limit for built up residential areas. This is increasingly being dropped to 20mph in housing estates.

40mph is the speed limit in urban areas where a large number of houses are not directly on the road.

50mph is the speed limit for areas of high incidents of crashes, suburban bypasses and other areas as required.
