Proposal to Reduce Speed Limit to 20mph on Residential Streets
The Welsh Government wants to change the speed limit to 20mph in Welsh villages, towns and cities.
The proposed new limits will mostly be in residential areas but will also include roads regularly used for active travel.
Reducing the speed limit could:
- reduce the number and severity of road collisions
- increase opportunities to walk and cycle in our communities
- help improve health and wellbeing for all
- make our streets safer and help safeguard the environment for future generations
Your opinions will guide Welsh Government policies prior to roll out and the proposals are being trialled in 8 communities across Wales.
Responses to the consultation would be welcomed by 30th September 2021.
