    Speed limit in Wales changed to 25mph

    Technically as no prosection below 26mph, that's got to be a start

    I may not agree with much of what NCB says about the subject, but I've never called him a clown.

    I've just braved the snow bomb and driven to Rumney and back maintaining 20 mph on the required roads, feel cheated !!!

    Nobody is more anti-Tory than me, but I don't see how it makes any difference who set up these Facebook groups. If they were trying to push an agenda, fair enough, but I don't think that's the case here. It might be trying to cash in on something unpopular, but let's face it, the roll out of 20mph is deeply unpopular, even among Labour voters.

    He's doing a good job alerting the Welsh public and putting pressure on Labour to make changes and push out Drippy, that's what opposition parties are supposed to do.

    Miles and Born Guessing both pushing into the long grass - of we might have a review etc - none of them have the b0ll0x to say it was a stupid idea. They have also appointed the same person that introduced it to possibly look into a review Lee (dumb@ss) Waters. Talk about marking your own homework.

    And then to talk about having different speed limits for vehicles ie buses and taxies at 25-30 - everyone else at 20 - wtf

    What i find interesting is that there is no data already. In this article, it again states that as as accidents and deaths will be dramatically cut over the decade. I know it takes time to get a full picture, but its been operational for several months now. There should already be some data?

    I think it'll be a year before you can really see the impact

    Maybe not the best phrase to use under the circumstances, but I agree - seems to me that figures for the year 2024 will offer the first definite comparison you can make. My guess is that any difference will not be too hig.

    It's a good point. All this data used to be regular. Now it isn't.

    Whilst wholeheartedly campaigning for more 20mph zones where he lives.
    No-one is pushing out 'Drippy' by the way. I assume you mean Mark Drakeford, and he's leaving of his own accord in a couple of months.
    If you're looking for a politician to push out, the tories in Wales would have a better chance of being a more effective opposition, if they pushed out their current leader.

    This caused mayhem and big backlash and became an embarrassment in an election year 20mph was the final nail.

    He'll leave knowing he made Wales much worse and slower in every aspect especially every NHS waiting time possible.

    I totally agree, and it does take time to collate statistics and for policies to bed in etc.

    Nonetheless, several months should see a pattern begin to impact. We have already been told that the average speed has reduced. I am surprised there is nothing so far on reduced levels of accidents etc
