THE speed limit on the Solihull by-pass faces being cut from 70mph to 50mph under new plans.
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is to consult on reducing the national speed limit section between M42 junction 5 and the 40mph section of the by-pass (map).
This would include the junction 5 roundabout.
All English councils have been told by the Government to review speed limits on A and B roads.
A council report says: “Reduction in vehicle speeds contributes to safer and healthier communities.
“Reducing the speed of traffic will bring environmental benefits to local communities through the reduction perceptions of danger.”
