It's caused quite a stir on Facebook..., external
Watch: The limit would be 40mph on the M32
Quote MessageSpeed limit on most dual carriageways is 70mph. Surely it'd be better to vary the speed limit? Lower limits in heavy traffic make sense but why force drivers to slow outside this time?
Jenny Allen
Quote MessageRidiculous ! Bristol City Council has been anti car for years and had created havoc and a hostile environment for motorists , with very few viable alternative forms of transport . I am very glad that I no longer need to come there
Anna Reynolds
Quote Messagewow this is going to cause chaos.. Plus people are going to be coming off the M5 and suddenly having to slow right down
Nikki Fox
Quote MessageNeeds reclassifying as not really a motorway anymore. Has anyone involved thought about the impact on emergency services? There are limits on how fast they can travel, even on blue lights which is based on the posted speed limits. Therefore this will cost lives as response times are made even longer as has already happened with so many 20mph zones around Bristol.

The firm has been trading in the county town for more than 150 years
Moving on to other news from around the West this evening, and a well-known shop in Taunton is facing closure after more than 150 years of trading.
The owners of The County Stores - once known as the "Harrods of the West Country" - said the proposed closure was planned for January but it would be consulting with its 61 members of staff in the meantime.
The Post Office inside the shop will remain open until next June.
Quote MessageOver the past few years the high street retail environment has become very challenging, with lots of retailers struggling in the current retail climate. The situation has been no different at The County Stores and in recent months it has become apparent that despite all our efforts, The County Stores cannot continue to trade with its current structure and size.

The Crown Prosecution Service says it had built up a "strong case" against Christopher Halliwell.
Ian Harris, Head of the Complex Casework Unit for CPS Wessex, said: "Despite his every effort to evade justice, he has been convicted and I hope that this will finally give some comfort and closure to Becky’s family."
The senior investigating officer in the Christopher Halliwell case said he it had been "a harrowing few years" for Becky Godden's family waiting for her murderer Christopher Halliwell to be brought to trial.
Superintendent Sean Memory from Wiltshire Police, said today's verdict is "absolute justification" for the work carried out by his detectives.
It was former detective Steve Fulcher who caught Christopher Halliwell and found Sian O'Callaghan.
But in an extraordinary development when he was arrested, suspect Christopher Halliwell told him he had also murdered Becky Godden.
The confession led officers to her remains in Eastleach, Gloucestershire, two days later. Here's extracts of the interview Mr Fulcher gave Steve Brodie in 2011.

Talking to Channel 4 News, external, he said: "It is perfectly clear that had I not acted as I did neither Sian nor Becky would ever have been found, and Halliwell would be free to abduct and kill other girls.

Quote MessageHalliwell is an evil and depraved violator of women. I'm convinced that my action in allowing Halliwell to take me to the bodies of Sian and Becky was the right and moral thing to do.
Taxi driver Christopher Halliwell is found guilty of Becky Godden's murder
In the course of his defence, Christopher Halliwell dismissed his legal team and then maintained that he had not been involved in Becky’s murder.
This meant the Crown Prosecution Service could ask the court to reverse the ruling which prevented the jury from being told about his confession.
It succeeded and this meant that the CPS could tell the jury not only that he was serving a life sentence for Sian’s murder but also that he had confessed to Becky’s murder and knew where she had been buried.
Quote MessageEven then, despite all the evidence, including his own confession, Mr Halliwell continued to fight the case. In the process, he has put Becky’s family through untold suffering on top of the terrible pain he has caused them by murdering Becky.
Quote MessageDespite his every effort to evade justice, he has been convicted and I hope that this will finally give some comfort and closure to Becky’s family. Our thoughts have been very much with them, and also with Sian’s family, throughout this dreadful ordeal.
