A 30 km per hour limit would apply in built up areas.
A number of new laws on our roads are moving a step closer.
Ministers are set to approve the publication of a new bill to legislate for a number of offences, including default speed limits.
The proposed laws tackles three areas: speed limits, drink and drug driving and penalty points.
The legislation would see default limits come into force, meaning for example a 30 km per hour limit would apply in built up areas.
The laws would also make drug testing mandatory at the scene of a serious collision.
The legislation would also allow for the application of multiple penalty points in a single stop when more than one offence is committed.
There were also plans to have higher penalty points on Bank Holiday Weekends but that's not happening for now as the proposed laws need more scrutiny.
