	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2023 answer text <p>Our Zero Emission Vehicle Transition is expected to have a transformative effect on air quality right across our country. Over time, this transition to electric vehicles, plus the increasing proportion of newer petrol and diesel vehicles which emit less pollution than older petrol and diesel vehicles, will mean that levels of nitrogen dioxide will continue to fall. Once nitrogen dioxide concentrations meet legal limit values and Government is confident these levels will be maintained without the measure, National Highways will be able to remove the 60mph speed limit introduced to manage poor air quality on the westbound carriageway.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 05/07/2023 14:29:25 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>Highways England has not assessed the specific savings of using a 60mph speed limit in the roadworks on the M4 between junctions 3 and 12. However, Highways England and its supply chain are currently assessing whether there are opportunities for this higher speed limit to be introduced on the M4. In all cases, careful consideration has to be given to the safety implications of increasing speed limits in roadworks, and not all roadworks will be suitable for a higher speed limit.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 28/10/2019 11:37:46 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

	uin	HL14781
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2019 answer text <p>The impact of delays during construction of the M4 junction 3 to 12 smart motorway scheme was assessed as part of the economic appraisal undertaken prior to the start of construction. This took into account various factors including the impact of the construction programme in full, lane availability and also the effect of limiting traffic speed to 50mph. This assessment gave an estimated value of £123m for user delay costs during construction. The economic appraisal also forecasts that the scheme could deliver £2 of benefits for every £1 of cost.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 04/04/2019 11:33:41 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
