Give feedback on roads with a 20mph speed limit
The Welsh Government has published details of how to get in contact with your local authority to provide feedback about 20mph speed limits.
The Welsh Government has provided the following update:
The speed limit on most roads in residential and built-up areas changed to 20mph in September 2023.
We are revising the exceptions guidance that highway authorities use to decide which roads should be 30mph. This should be ready by July 2024.
While we do this, we want you to let your highway authority know if you think either:
- a section of road which is 20mph should be 30mph
- a section of road which is 30mph should be 20mph
When giving feedback you must:
- be clear and precise about which section of road you are talking about
- give reasons why you think the speed limit should change
They will review your feedback and the new exceptions guidance and consider if the speed limits on any of the roads (or section of roads) that they are responsible for should change. This is likely to take several months.
Local authority roads
You should provide feedback about local authority-managed roads by contacting your local authority directly.
Trunk roads
A trunk road is a major route that Welsh Government is the highway authority for, not the local authority. Examples of trunk roads are the A40, A5, and A4076. You can view a map of all Welsh trunk roads on DataMapWales.
You can feedback about 20 and 30mph limits on trunk roads by emailing TrunkRoads20mph@gov.wales. Or you can send your feedback to your local authority and it will be shared with us if it relates to a trunk road.
