What happened: The Scottish government has dropped its proposal to lower the national speed limit on single carriageways from 60mph to 50mph following public opposition.
Why it matters:
- Drivers on single carriageways will continue to follow the existing 60mph limit.
- The decision reflects public and stakeholder feedback influencing transport policy.
MNN Take: The government’s reversal shows responsiveness to concerns about road safety measures and their acceptance, maintaining current speed regulations for now.
