# The M6 Toll (Speed Limit) Regulations 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
For safety reasons these Regulations impose speed limits at the main line toll plazas of the M6 Toll Motorway in order to reduce vehicle speeds in stages on the approaches to the toll booths.
The following speed limits will apply—
(i) At Great Wyrley a limit of 50 mph for approximately 460 metres from the start of the toll lane area and then a limit of 30mph for approximately 475 metres on the approach to and egress from the toll booth lanes, followed by a limit of 50mph for approximately another 405 metres; and
(ii) At Weeford Park a limit of 50mph for approximately 540 metres from the start of the toll lane area and then a limit of 30mph for approximately 615 metres on the approach to and egress from the toll booth lanes, followed by a limit of 50mph for approximately another 380 metres.
A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no significant impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies.
A temporary Order imposing the 30mph speed limits has been in force since 17th October 2003. These Regulations will make the Order permanent and will also revoke the M6 Toll (Speed Limit) Regulations 2003, which introduced the original 50mph speed limit on the approaches to the toll booths.
