Unless specifically stated by a sign, the speed limits for cars are:

Motorway: 70 MPH

Dual Carriageway: 70 MPH

Single Carriageway: 60 MPH

Built up areas: 30 MPH (in towns, villages etc)

Other vehicle types such as trucks and buses have their own speed limits.

The speed limit in England is typically 30mph (48km/h) in built-up areas, 60mph (97km/h) on single carriageways, and 70mph (113km/h) on dual carriageways and motorways unless otherwise indicated. It's important to always be aware of and adhere to posted speed limit signs.

When were speed limits invented?

The first speed limit was passed in England in 1865, setting a limit of 10 miles per hour on trains operating in the country. The first speed limit on automobiles also comes from England; in 1896, a limit of 14 miles per hour was set on what was called at the time "light locomotives". Local governments were given discretion to lower the limit to 12 miles per hour in their towns.
