You asked
I have recieved a number of driving offence letters in recent months and I was hoping to get more information on changes to speed limits in the area, particularly for the A40 nr Terrick St W12 to A40 nr Paddington Grn W2 and surrounding roads.
Alternatively/in addition, would it be possible to receive a summary of all speed limit changes in the area over the past year?
Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Your correspondence of 6th April 2023 - detailed below - has been passed to me for response by our Customer Services team as it constitutes a request for recorded information. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:
“I have recieved a number of driving offence letters in recent months and I was hoping to get more information on changes to speed limits in the area, particularly for the A40 nr Terrick St W12 to A40 nr Paddington Grn W2 and surrounding roads.

The speed limit along the entire stretch of the Westway between the A40 Northern roundabout to the west and Marylebone flyover to the east was reduced in July 2020 from 40mph to 30mph. Slowing the speed helps protect and extend the life of the ageing expansion joints in the road until they can be replaced. This makes it less likely we will have to close parts of the Westway for unplanned works. More information in this regard can be found on our website here: https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/a40-westway
