Former 40mph all-Island speed limit for Keys debate

What was the evidence for reducing the Island's speed limit to 40mph?

That question will be put forward in the House of Keys next week by Douglas East MHK Clare Barber.

She'll ask the Chief Minister what evidence there was for both the 40mph limit and the Island's current 60mph restriction.

An all-Island speed limit was introduced back in March and ran until Monday, June 15 - which saw a 20mph increase.

The original aim was to prevent any major trauma and ease demand on both emergency services and the hospital.

The Chief Minister confirmed on Monday the Island's speed limit should return to normal on Monday, June 22.
