M1 Junctions 6A - 10 Controlled Motorway Public Consultation
Introduction
This consultation will provide an opportunity for interested parties and individuals to comment on the proposal to introduce variable mandatory speed limits on the M1 between Junctions 6A and 10.
Secondary legislation in the form of regulations made under section 17 of the Road traffic Regulation Act 1984 will be required to implement the Controlled Motorway Scheme. The proposed regulations will restrict drivers from driving at a speed exceeding that displayed on the speed limit signs or the national speed limit where no other speed limit sign is displayed.
As part of the consultation, the Highways Agency will seek the views of its major stakeholders and other interested parties. The consultation commences on 30 November 2009 and ends on 1 March 2010. The full consultation pack includes the consultation document together with appendices for the Impact Assessment, consultation response form and list of consultees.
