The Scottish Government have announced a consultation into the national speed limit on single carriageway roads; including the A96.
The proposed changes to the speed limit from 60mph to 50mph would apply for all single carriageway roads to which the national speed limit currently applies. The proposed changes to speed limits for goods vehicles (>7.5t) would apply for all single and dual carriageways in Scotland
The claim is that this change to our road network could lead to a 23% reduction in fatalities and an 18% reduction in serious injury.
However the frustration is that the Scottish Government is focusing on this, instead of the much needed dualling of the A96.
