Welsh 20mph speed limit is a success, claims government

Figures show speeds on many roads have dropped by 4mph, but critics say policy is ‘monumental’ waste of money

Welsh ministers have claimed their controversial 20mph limit rollout has proved successful after figures suggested speeds on many roads had dropped by 4mph.

However, opponents of the scheme say the modest reduction shows the policy has been a “monumental” waste of money and called for it to be scrapped.
