    Speed limit to be lowered to 20mph in Wales

    Speed limit to be lowered to 20mph in Wales
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62020427
    Wales will become the first UK nation to adopt a 20mph default limit speed in built-up areas.


    Speed limits in built-up areas look set to be reduced from 30mph to 20mph in Wales from next year - a UK first that is controversial among some drivers.

    Whilst many in north Cardiff have been keeping to the new limit, plenty haven't. I look forward to hearing about bus and taxi drivers being fined for speeding in bus lanes, as many seem oblivious to the new 20 limit.

      it's pathetic, it will soon be quicker to use a bike or run. Work journeys are killing me being stuck in a queue of 20mph nobbers

        Isn't that the aim, or one of them?

          Of course. Still painful

            As I said in the other thread about this, 2 weeks ago, I am fed up of being undertaken by cyclists doing more than 20mph

                It will cause a problem for buses, certainly. A 5 mile journey at 20mph will take 5 minutes longer than a 5 mile journey at 30mph. Buses tend to run on tight schedules for profitability and more delays will mean either less services or a need for more buses and drivers, with costs going up as a result.

                  If a 20 mph limit is not enforced (and where I drive/cycle/walk in North Cardiff it clearly isn't), what is the point of having it?

                    It's utterly ridiculous.

                        It's a great advert for switching to a bike, particularly for short journeys.

                            Hopefully that will mean more AMs will be fined.
