Wales' 20mph speed limit: £5m for review after backlash

Wales' 20mph speed limit: £5m for review after backlash

An extra £5m has been allocated to reassess the speed limit on 20mph roads, the Welsh government has announced.

Transport Minister Ken Skates previously said the decision to reverse parts of the controversial £34m default 20mph policy was in response to “consistent” concerns raised by "a lot of people".

Updated guidance to councils said there was no need to reassess all roads.

The Welsh government said it expected most changes from 20mph to 30mph to be on A and B roads "which are typically main or strategic roads" and "away from places that attract frequent pedestrians".
