V204 - Motorway speed Limit Bill 2009, Liberal Democrat

Preamble:

Motorways are currently limited to the same speeds as Dual Carriageways. Yet, motorways are relatively wider, straighter and are universally capable of supporting greater speeds. While the Association of British Drivers (ABD) believes the real effects on road speed, environmental damage and most importantly road safety would be non existent to minor, (link), it believes that an increase of motorway speeds would in fact benefit our economy overall and vastly reduce the percentage of drivers habitually breaking the law.


BE IT ENACTED by The Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Commons in this present Parliament assembled, in accordance with the provisions of the Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949, and by the authority of the House of the Spiritual and Temporal Lords, as follows:-

1) Raising the Speed Limit

(a) The Speed Limit for Motorways is to be raised to 80 miles an hour.

(i) Individual stretches of Motorway deemed unfit for traffic travelling at the speed of 80 miles per hour shall be limited to 70 miles per hour, as assessed by the Highways Agency. Such assessment will take into account the advice of interested and relevant bodies e.g. Local Speed Partnerships, RAC, Green Flag etc.


2) Commencement, Short title and Extent

(a) This bill may be cited as the Motorway Speed Limit Act 2009.

(b) This bill will commence 6 months following its passing through the house.

(c) This Act extends to the United Kingdom

Point of order, it's supposed to be called the "Motorway Speed Limit Bill". That's probably my fault, could you change it?

The second version I was sent was called that now that I have checked. Technically Bills shouldn't change their name nalf way through, but I'll be nice
