Hgv Speed Limits Increase
4 Answers
Have the HGV speed limits been raised as planned?
I have seen notices on notice boards at some distribution centres that say they were going up on 6th April (such as this one)

However I cannot find anything on government websites to confirm it has actually happened.
The on line Highway Code still shows the old limits.

I've been driving at the new limits, but lots of people are still doing 40 on single c'way roads. However, there was an article in last weeks Commercial Motor saying that the new limit is in fact less fuel efficient ( you take a bit longer at 40, but save fuel), so perhaps some drivers have been told by their firms to stick to 40, which negates the reasons for doing it!
