439. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the key road traffic legislation apart from section 9 of the Road Traffic Act 2004 and statutory instruments which indicate the speed limits which may be specified currently in by-laws; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Sections 5 to 8 of the Road Traffic Act 2004 set out default speed limits for different classes of roads.  Section 9 of that Act 2004, and associated statutory instruments, set out special speed limits, that is the speed limits which may be set in bye-laws in this country and which differ from the default speed limits.

It is a matter for the local authorities to assign speed limits to each of the roads and streets under their jurisdiction.
