  • Thank you for contacting to our Customer Contact Centre on 17 July 2024 about the variable speeds on the M27.

    We find many enquiries about our signs and signals can be answered with the information already available on our website at https://nationalhighways.co.uk/ vsl.

    If you’re not satisfied with the information available on our webpage you may choose to contact us again. Any further requests for specific sign settings, including variable speed limits settings at a defined location, date and/or time will be handled under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

    You can submit your request through our customer contact centre or via the Freedom of Information (FOI) form available here foiform.nationalhighways.co.uk. To help us progress your request efficiently, please remember to quote your reference number in the subject line of your email / in the FOI form. Your request will then be formally processed by our FOI Team, and you will receive a response within 20 working days, in accordance with the FOIA.

    As explained on the webpage, Section 31 of the FOIA would apply to withhold any information where we consider the release of such records into the public domain is likely be detrimental to the interests of law enforcement. This could include the significant public cost of court proceedings where the defence relies on data the court considers irrelevant to the enforceability of the legal speed limit, and/or inferior evidence to that held by the prosecution.

    The Information Commissioner’s Guidance on Section 31 of the FOI Act is available here: https://ico.org.uk/ media/ for-organisations/ documents/ 1207/ law-enforcement-foi-section-31.pdf
