As you Approach from the three arches end, heading North towards the Birchgrove pub. It's a 20 zone, so be careful out there...

I picked up a friend from the Birch , took forever to get to Rhiwbina sticking to the 20mph … seems too slow and hardly good for the environment as my mpg was way down.

Cardiff 20mph,bike lanes, bus lanes it's a nightmare.Might as well buy an old milk float rather than a new car.
Thank God for the bus pass.

Only plus for me is when driving the hybrid car it’s all on electric. Not so good in a manual diesel van

Both my granddaughter and my brother in law have been caught at 25 MPH

Bus drivers don't seem to worry about the 20mph limits.
What I have noticed over the last few months is learner drivers now being taught to drive to the 20 limit - in practise for them it means 15. Followed one from Llandaff North to Llanishen the other day and struggled to get out of 2nd gear.

Think of the fumes that created

Re: Heathwood rd-Speed Camera

Back in the day (around mid 1970's) I did 88mph down that stretch of road just to see how fast my decepid car would go. How times have changed.

Re: Heathwood rd-Speed Camera

My daughter recently passed her driving test, is very comfortable at keeping below 20mph.
I find it much harder to keep to 20 or below, drive along Heathwood Rd regularly, haven't been caught yet 🤞.
In principle though, I've no big gripe with the change to 20. Ask yourself what speed limit you'd like outside your house.

I live in a crescent cul-de-sac, so hard to get up to 20mph.
But 20 on a thoroughfare? bonkers.

Do you really think that’s anything to boast about ? You obviously had no thought for anyone else. Idiotic is not the word. It’s a pity your licence wasn’t taken away. Count yourself fortunate.

Wasn't boasting. Just illustrating how times have changed. I agree it was idiotic but as you get older common sense tends to prevail. I would have no difficulty keeping to 20mph now.

I passed my test in 1965 and have not been booked for speeding or anything else for that matter.

I rather regret posting now.

I'm sure he was fuming behind the steering wheel.

And found yourself in 1985?

Re: Heathwood rd-Speed Camera

We have 20mph throughout our village. I was overtaken the other day by an impatient chap who wasn't prepared to stay behind me as I was doing 20. He was on the opposite side of the road where there were lots of driveways where someone could have pulled out
