Nearly all residential roads in Wales set to become 20mph
- The first minister of Wales has introduced a new national speed limit of 20mph across the country in an effort to reduce accidents and save lives, despite facing controversy and criticism from some.
- The Welsh government hopes that the implementation of the new speed limit will lead to a 40% reduction in collisions, save 6 to 10 lives per year, and prevent up to 2,000 injuries. Spain's experience with a similar law resulted in a 20% decrease in urban deaths and a 34% reduction in cyclist fatalities.
- While there are differing opinions on the effectiveness of the new speed limit, the Welsh government plans to enforce it through a combination of police monitoring and educational efforts to ensure the public is aware of the change.
