(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations which impose a maximum speed limit of 40 miles per hour (in place of the general 70 miles per hour speed limit imposed on motorways by the Motorways Traffic (Speed Limit) Regulations 1974 (S.I. 1974/502)) on the lengths of the M48 motorway slip roads specified in the Schedule to these Regulations.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
