flag A UK petition to raise motorway speed limits to 80mph gains support, while Manchester expands 20mph zones to reduce road deaths.

flag A UK petition urging a motorway speed limit increase from 70mph to 80mph has gained traction, citing advances in vehicle safety technology and potential benefits for traffic flow and journey times. flag Supporters argue modern cars are safer, making higher speeds feasible, while the campaign echoes past efforts from 2011 and 2019 that were abandoned due to safety concerns and lack of support. flag If it reaches 10,000 signatures, the Department for Transport must respond; 100,000 could trigger a parliamentary debate. flag Meanwhile, Manchester council is expanding 20mph limits to Wythenshawe, following a rise in road fatalities, aiming to improve safety on residential streets with a rollout deadline of March 2027.
