Reduction of urban speed limits in Wales from 30mph to 20 mph

Описание: A discussion of the effect of the reduction of urban speed limits in Wales from 30mph to 20mph, including the effect on the economy and a possible solution. I don't think I said enough about the reason for the reduction of urban speed limits in Wales which is to save lives, rather I just hinted at it - however I think that you will get my meaning!

The Welsh government said the 20mph national speed limit would reduce road collisions, road deaths, noise and pollution while encouraging more people to walk or cycle.

Of the 1,014 people killed or severely hurt on Welsh roads in 2022, more than 40% (421) were hit on a 30mph stretch of road.

Road safety campaigners Brake said a person's risk of dying if they are hit by a car travelling at 30mph is five times greater than if the car was travelling at 20mph.

Because it will be the new national speed limit, 20mph signs will no longer be needed on those roads - except when the limit changes.

A similar speed limit has been in force in Spain since 2019.

Be aware that sat navs may not be quick to update and give false information on speed limits!
