20 mph roads

[sneggyblubird]

There were (maybe still are), people who thought it was 20mph on all roads ….we have some proper dullards in Wales unfortunately.

Although there an obvious truth in what you say the opposite is an even greater truth, that is, far more people drive recklessly fast no matter what the speed limit is and most couldn't abide that limit even when it was thirty. I have to admit myself swearing under my breath when I was behind someone doing 28 in a 30 zone when I thought 35 wasn't hurting anyone.

There are some roads where 20mph is not required…hopefully local authorities will act accordingly, if enough people make them aware.

I was quite vocal with my objections to the 20mph speed limits, but months on, it's not been as bad as I feared from a driving perspective. More roads need to be reinstated at 30mph but overall it has had the effect of making people drive a bit more carefully. I agree with everyone who has said about those doing less than 20 are a pain in the arse. I see people driving 20mphish on 40 and 50mph roads, but I've not encountered one of these roads where there have been speed limit signs and 40mph and 50mph limits are obvious. Anyone crawling along in these areas should have their licences removed as they haven't the sense or ability to read. And, no, I'm not saying everyone should drive at 40 or 50mph in these areas as sometimes those speeds aren't appropriate.

I still think the Welsh Government would have been better holding a review of all roads. There are roads which are accident blackspots, but nothing has been done with them. A fully joined-up policy would have been better.

Tbh I’ve not noticed many doing it, when someone is it’s very noticeable and frustrating (which in itself is annoying as they are doing what they should be)
