Welcome

Driving around

The speed limit for any road is the maximum speed a vehicle should be travelling at. You should always drive safely and appropriately within the speed limit at all times.

30mph zones

All urban roads in this country are subject to a 30mph limit unless there are signs to tell you a higher or lower limit. If you cannot see a sign on an urban road you must always assume that the speed limit is 30mph.

If there are streetlights along the road then again the speed limit is usually 30mph unless other signs tell you different. Look at rule 103 (Speed Limits) of the Highway Code below for further information or visit The Highway Code website.
