Please say a prayer: 20mph in Wales

[speedyg]

And any Gov't info which comes through the letterbox got either an extra copy in 'cymru', or on the back of the letter with all the wording printed in 'cymru'

Regarding costing double...that must be Westminster's fault

So why has no department picked up on this ..it may seem trivial to some things but every letter every road signs and god knows what else it must be costing a fortune that could be put into NHS etc or harpoons to sink the boats lol they will only have to do a couple and let French coast guard pick em up and the problem will be solved ...far cheaper than all this rowander crap ...this govt on any side got no backbone ... supposed I'll get banned now lol

Appease the language zealots (votes) and/or try to get some more Plaid voters over (votes)

I found the 20mph to be such a pain I doubt I would return for any leisure related activities, so if they wanted less tourism it worked

In a few years, maybe do a 'Colin Price memory lane' trip

My estate has been 20MPH for a while, I don't mind it and don't have any problems keeping within the limit.

Really !

 

[Magnu]

Really !

Yes.

 

[Elgraman]

Quite often the case with the 20s is that people are happy for 20mph outside their own house, but don't want it outside other people's houses.
That's not me being pro 20mph (lol far from it), but the general feeling.
I'm happy for 30 outside my house if they get shot of it everywhere.

Some roads in Wales to revert back to 30mph after half a million call for 20mph speed limit to end

Introduced under former first minister Mark Drakeford, the Welsh government said a 20mph speed limit will save lives and help build "safer communities" by reducing the number of collisions.

It'll be interesting to see how they change the rules. Under the current ones, roads with few pedestrians crossing should have remained 30mph, but the councils didn't apply these needed exceptions to many suitable roads. Just doing that would go a long way...

Still doesn't get around the guidelines to prosecute at 24mph - to easy for even conscientious drivers to reach this :-/

Makes me think they won't now either. I'd be surprised if 10% of roads locally to someone in Wales revert.
Where I am they reduced some nice 60mph twisties to 40mph recently. Nothing to do with the Welsh Gov't 20mph guidelines (obviously), just the council themselves decided to do it. Makes me think they won't exactly be zealous in returning to 30 in many places.

Too much revenue from speed cameras
