National speed limit applies
A white circle with a single black diagonal stripe means the national speed limit applies. The actual figure depends on the road type and the vehicle you are driving.
When you see it
- ◆ For cars: 60 mph on a single carriageway and 70 mph on a dual carriageway or motorway.
- ◆ Lower limits apply to goods vehicles, buses and vehicles towing a trailer.
- ◆ The national limit is a maximum, not a target -- drive to the conditions.
- ◆ It cancels any lower limit that applied on the previous stretch of road.
