https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/h ... 12997.htmlWales has become the first country in the UK to roll out a default 20mph speed limit for most residential roads.
The scheme begins on Sunday and most roads in Wales that are currently 30mph have become 20mph although councils have discretion to impose exemptions.
The Welsh Government has said that cutting the limit from 30mph to 20mph will protect lives and save the NHS in Wales £92 million a year.
The RAC warned drivers not to rely on satnavs for the correct speed limit and instead follow the road signs.
Any motorist caught driving over 20mph but under 30mph will initially receive advice from the police rather than face a ticket, a minister said.
For once I am apt to support a Tory...
What do people think?Andrew RT Davies, the leader of the Conservatives in the Senedd, said: “Whilst I agree that 20mph is sensible outside heavily pedestrianised areas, such as schools, hospitals and care homes, the Labour Government’s blanket 20mph speed limit rollout across Wales is simply ludicrous.”
