Welsh Labour leader hopeful Jeremy Miles' 20mph review pledge

I doubt they will actually get rid of it. A few minor tweaks at the most.
And if they have any sense they'll wait to see the proper impact first too, if it has saved as many lives as is predicted then it will be a very difficult call to make to scrap it altogether.

Thing is that they'll never know if it has actually saved any lives. The numbers predicted were so small to begin with, plus data doesn't actually say what speeds vehicles were doing at the time of any accidents, only the speed limit. My suspicion is that there'll be little difference.

they predicted 10-12 fewer deaths, and I think there were around 80-90 deaths in recent years, so if we do see something of the order of 10-12 fewer you'd have thought that it would be noticeable.
