Some inner-city or residential areas (e.g.
Simple. Could you tell me if you are traveling tractor unit only ( not pulling a trailer) what is the speed limit in Scotland on a single track road national speed limit ? Absolutely horrendous, they're swerving in and out of lanes, HGV drivers try to avoid them and end up in an accident with an innocent, while the culprit buggers off. While car-derived vans – under two tonnes – have the same speed limits as cars, they are different for larger goods vehicles.Larger vans and lorries up to 7.5 tonnes are limited to 50mph on single carriageways, 60mph on dual carriageways and 70mph on motorways.In Scotland, lorries over 7.5 tonnes are limited to 40mph on single carriageways apart from the A9, 50mph on dual carriageways and 60mph on motorways.Minutes of a Transport Scotland road safety group meeting which discussed the report stated: “The main finding was that HGVs [heavy goods vehicles – over 3.5 tonnes]/large vans showed the least compliance, making this an enforcement issue.” Superintendent Louise Blakelock, Police Scotland’s deputy head of road policing, told the meeting it was working with hire firms to better educate drivers on the different speed limits.Neil Greig, of the IAM RoadSmart motoring group, said speed camera officials “frequently report ignorance of van speed limits as one of the most common excuses they get from drivers”.“Ignorance by professional drivers is not acceptable, but if they are just thrown the keys of a transit having only ever driven a Fiesta it no surprise there are problems.”A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: “Initial work has been undertaken to better understand the average speeds by vehicle and road type at a small number of locations across Scotland. Are HGV drivers allowed to drive up to the 50mph limit through these areas? Edinburgh city centre): 20mph; Built up areas (e.g. Being involved in road safety for children I often wondered what different hazards a lorry driver faces once they cross the border such that they need to reduce their maximum speed (national limits) by 10mph. The speed of lorries in the north of the country is more than 60mph on the Motorways, in fact I sometimes have to do just over 70mph to pass them, do they fiddle with the speed limiters.
Or maybe not sit in the nearside or middle lane in road works, saying to yourself, he can f off is just dumb, we have 2 lanes only, for Christ's sake, just go in the outside lane. If a single carriageway sign displaying 50mph then your hgv is limited to 40mph but if a national speed limit sign is displayed cars can do 60mph but your hgv can only do 50mph hope this clears this matter up Can I confirm that a single carriageway signed at 50mph is still a 40mph limit to an HGV and that the 50mph single carriageway rule is only for National speed limit single carriageway roads? It is for a single carriageway regardless of markings. This still applies for smart motorways! the national speed limit sign is the thing that confuses too many people about time it was changed to show real speeds against symbols for the vehicle classes as I am fed up of the 40 mph'ers who have miles of traffic stuck behind them suddenly do 80 as soon as it becomes dual carriageway, vanish over the horizon only to be there blocking the road again as son as it becomes single carriageway It does not mention the speed limit for cars. Superintendent Louise Blakelock, Police Scotland’s deputy head of road policing, told the meeting it was working with hire firms to better educate drivers on the different speed limits. By far the most dangerous drivers on the road are your average car drivers pissing about with phones in narrow lanes in road works. Rule only applies to National Speed Limits. Fiddling with a speed limiter is a serious offence. It could say 50, 60 or 70. Looking at the sheer number of serious accidents now caused by HGV drivers and the insane decision to raise their speed limits, they should be retested every 12 months, and have much harsher penalties for failure to comply...after all they are incharge of the most lethal weapons on the roads...also, and this is too ALL drivers. This document relates to the Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Scotland) Bill (SP Bill 39) as introduced in the Scottish Parliament on 21 September 2018 4 on them, on a permanent basis, by order under section 84(1)(a) – the effect of which, under section 84(3) is that they are no longer restricted roads). The speed limit is the maximum speed you should travel – it’s doesn’t mean that it’s safe to drive at this speed in all conditions. Some of the silly questions show that many drivers are not competent enough or responsible enough to keep up to date with national driving laws.
