The speed limit in Dumfries will depend on where you are driving. The speed limit in built-up areas should be 30 mph, sometimes 20mph near schools. Major routes and roads between towns usually have a speed limit of 60mph. However, you should look out for signs because limits can change. Be careful when approaching a town, as the speed can jump from 60 mph to 30 mph, and cameras often track your average speed as you enter and exit the town. Speeding in a 20 mph or 30 mph area will result in a fine.
