Wales' 20mph speed limit: Petition against breaks records

A petition in Wales opposing the new 20mph default speed limit has received a record number of signatures, prompting the Senedd Petitions Committee to consider it for debate.
While Welsh ministers argue that the lower speed limit will reduce accidents and encourage active modes of transportation, opposing politicians see it as a "war on motorists".
Although there is significant opposition to the speed limit and concerns about economic disadvantage, the focus for the first year will be on education rather than strict enforcement.
