That is an impact in my eyes, luckily like Eric mentions they've seen sense and changed it to 30 through Hopkinstown, but if its still 20 further up then I imagine its still having an impact on people at peak times.
The road is 20mph Tylorstown to Maerdy. There are schools in the vicinity and cars parked on one side a lot of the way. Also driving through Ferndale High Street would be a no no at 30.

I drive that road regularly and don't have any issue with it being 20mph. With buses slow moving vehicles it's probably nomore than a minute or 2 added to that journey.

I fairly certain the main Hopkinstown Rd has always been 30 and rightly so.
