To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on how the proposals outlined in the National Speed Management Review to increase the speed limits on dual carriageways for HGVs could impact on caravan users on dual carriageways.
The steps to increase speed limits for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) apply only to vehicles weighing over 7.5 tonnes and these changes do not affect speed limits for cars or vans towing caravans. There is no evidence to suggest that these changes will have any impact on caravan users, including on dual carriageways.
