We voted for none of this. None of their agricultural rules and regulations either. The Welsh Assembly does precisely what it wants because it is a Labour Party dictatorship, much like Putin’s Russia, where there is no effective opposition.
Surely driving 3 - 5 mph below a 20 mph limit is rather inconsiderate especially when you won't be fined if your doing 26mph. Get the occasional pedant here but most drive around 30 mph. Rare to see a police car here and they certainly don't pull over cars doing 30.
You are joking! Aren’t you?
so the man who implemented the 20 mph policy, used to run a "charity" that wanted Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, he then went on become climate change minister. What I can't understand, is how a charity is subsidised by the government transport department. They want more cycle ways, low traffic cities, the majority of the public want better roads yet our taxes support them (in part). The only thing I can think is sustrans employees are good university educated middle class lads and lasses, and the types who have to take a taxi from Park Hall to go shopping in Lidl don't count.
when ever I drive to Carmarthen during normal business hours, there is always someone driving at that speed (under 20) in Alltwalis, then Rhydargaeau (twice), then Peniel. Was told Castle Howell, have had to put on 3 or 4 extra lorries to completer their deliveries. They can't do what the bus services do, and just reduce the length of their routes.
You have the locations spot-on. Pencader is another one with greatly extended 30 limit where 40 used to be the case and even that was too slow at the long top end. In between all of these is a 50 limit, for no good reason I can fathom, although in some places it is actually the natural driving speed limit anyway. When 60 is reasonable though, why not drive at 60 if it’s clear? We did in the days of the awful Ford Escort and Cortina after all.

I suspect that you see the tourism industry as a necessary evil (?) but drakefart seems hell bent on destroying that!
I think the same happens to every political party that remains in power for too long, the problem is, with the constituencies and weight of Labour voters we have here in the valleys and South East, I think we will perpetually have Labour and with no effective opposition the ability to turn left wing student policy ideas into reality.
He’ll be off to see his mate Joe!
