🚗 Breaking News for Welsh Drivers! 🚗
After the Welsh Government dropped the default speed limit on restricted roads to 20mph back in 2023, there’s been quite the uproar, with hundreds of thousands rallying against it. Fast forward to 2024, and there’s a change of heart: roads can now return to 30mph, if they tick the right boxes!
Local councils have been busy surveying and chatting with the public on which roads should see the switch back to 30mph. Some areas have given the green light, while others are still in the decision-making process.
Wrexham’s roads like the B5445 Marford Hill and Ty Gwyn Lane have already zoomed back to 30mph. Over in Cardiff, roads like Newport Road and Western Avenue are also picking up speed again. But it’s not just the big cities making changes; across Anglesey, Carmarthenshire, and Swansea, a host of roads are also under review or have already reverted.
Meanwhile, some counties like Monmouthshire and Ceredigion are hanging onto their 20mph zones. The list of roads going back to 30mph is growing, so keep your eyes peeled to see if your street’s on the move!
For all our fellow roadies in Torfaen and the Vale of Glamorgan, the decision is still in the works, but changes are on the horizon.
Remember, these updates are crucial for keeping the roads safe and sound, ensuring smoother and safer travels for everyone on the Welsh roads. Get ready for changes and always keep an eye on those signs!
