Will 80 on M Ways come at the expense of 60 as national speed limit though? 50mph on B and C roads would kill off road rallying.

I doubt a lower C road limit will bother you Midnight especially given your obvious disregard for the current 70mph motorway limit.

It won't bother me, it's what it'll do to road rallying, could have sworn I said that.

Theres no such thing as C roads outside of local authority designations. Those signed are done so illegally.

C roads - yellows on the map, they are called C roads.

A reasonable idea, but only if it is more strictly enforced than it currently is - 90mph would be too fast for the majority of motorways.

Besides, they need to improve the flow of motorways before increasing the speed. I'd much rather they introduced a minimum speed limit to get all the stupidly slow cars off the road - if you're being overtaken by a lorry, you're going far too slowly -and heavily penalise inconsiderate driving, e.g. cutting in at the last second causing everyone else to brake hard.

or driving too close to the guy in front to prevent lanes merging neatly ;)

Not officially. They are 'unclassified roads'. The LA may determine them to be C roads, L roads, D roads, whatever they like, none of it is official.

Do they not close roads which are being used for rally stages in your part of the world? I can imagine Sébastien Loeb getting a scare by two old gits in a Morris Minor* coming the other way on a C-road.

*Why is it always black?
