The idea was that local authorities could designate specific single
carriageway roads of a high standard of design and low accident
statistics as 60 mph roads. This would have required special signage
and, for the first time, allowed some roads to have speed limits
greater than the National Speed Limit.

The trouble with that is that none would have done - too high a risk
of bad publicity if there was an accident.
