Here is an example of the sort of extra control being considered:

 Cut motorway speed limit to 64mph to drive net zero goals, No 10 told | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT (wordpress.com)

We know that even the current 70mph speed limit is not being observed in many parts of the network, so it is unlikely that a small change to 64mph will fare any better. With the governing Conservatives so far behind in the polls it is hard to see them wanting to bring in any more unpopular measures. I am sure that Labour would do it, if they were in power. There lies the problem, there is no winnable alternative. There is the tiny Reform Party, currently at around 7 or 8% support. Voting for them would simply give more seats to Labour.
