About the 20mph speed limit in Wales built up areas? Which goes live tonight..


There was a drop in casualties on 20mph and 30mph roads in Wales in the first three months of 2024, after the default 20mph speed limit was introduced.

The number of serious casualties or fatalities has dropped 23%, with 78 people killed or seriously injured on both 20mph and 30mph roads, compared to 101 serious casualties in the first quarter of 2023, before the default 20mph.

When minor injuries are included, the figures still show a 26% reduction for casualties of all severities.

The Welsh government called the figures "encouraging" and said every casualty reduced made a difference.

What an extremely helpful post to find immediately, came here to see if how it was going and it seems well.
 
heh, haven't seen any frothing yet!

Three of the five stages of the Junior Tour of Wales, which starts on Friday, have been changed as support vehicles would not be able to keep up with the riders without speeding.
"Even though there was only seven miles of 20mph across the whole 237-mile, four-day race, and even then split into a number of very short sections, we couldn't guarantee to manage all of them safely."
e2a
good
Welsh Cycling said it supported the default speed limit being lowered because of the improvement to road safety for cyclists, but said it had "presented some challenges for delivering road racing".
 
Welsh Cycling in favour of increased safety that will require adaptations to pre existing routes. What a story!
 
I know you just enjoy the attention but was just responding in case it was a serious point and you don’t realise there’s a difference between cycling as transport and cycling as sport.

It’s difficult to tell if you’re thick as shit or just a knob.

Either way you’re a knob tbh.

Its a waste of time, far too many entitled Cunts and hardly any enforcement.
(I'm all for the 20mph zones btw, it just needs one of the 2 above factors to change and it could work................but that aint gonna happen)
