3 million population, it's only a tenner each.

That's ok then.

Imagine what that money could do if put towards small local independent abattoirs, oh ye I forgot the the countries nearly bankrupt and savings need to be made.

Yeah but you said you want it spent on the disadvantaged in Wales, there's 3 million of you, a tenner isn't buying you much.

A lot of towns around us have had speed limits reduced to 20mph in order to stop them being used as rat runs, and encourage cars onto main roads, I would say it has worked reasonably well.

Sounds like you used to listen to the late great Mike Dikin on Talk Radio 30 yr ago , that was his phrase !

Hmmm, Forcing vehicles to take 50% longer to do the journey,hang on though, that means they will cause 50% more pollution then. Real wise thinking.

Net zero bonus ... not

We have had 20mph limits for a few year now, helps a lot getting out of roads on the main roads a lot

Don't be so soft. It's a good idea. Speed kills.

(Anyway, it's lentil knitter. Yoghurt production involves the barbaric practice of putting cows on a carousel and spinning them round at high speed).

that would make the sh.it fly

We’ve only been disadvantaged since we had the English invade!

Now Then..
Villages can often be naturally traffic calming. Bends in the road, parked cars etc.
I have a dead straight 'A' road past my house (one of about 30 houses) with a 50 Mph limit. Many cars pass here like it's a grand prix track.
, never see a police car pull any up though ..

 

[Swarfmonkey]

Isn't it costing 30odd million to change the signs?

If the idiots in Cardiff Bay stated that it'd cost 30 million quid then you can bet your boots that in reality it'll end up costing at least three times that.

 

[Dry Rot]

20mph limit started here too. But what got me was the flashing lights and 20mph outside a local school when hardly anyone is about. Then, it's go home time and flooded with cars, kids, and pedestrians and it's the normal limit with no flashing lights! There's no reason to it. Do these people not think?

We have introduced a default 20mph speed limit on restricted roads across Wales.

See the stacks of other threads about it too ???

 

[Lofty1984]

There’s a village near here that 20mph 200 yards after
or before the limit signs is a massive comprehensive school and soon to be primary so work that one out @Still Farming will know where I mean

Might make a few people question the amount of driving they do?
The more we speed up travel the more we travel and the further we go which equals more pollution. Perhaps we should be doing things like this to reduce travel?
Better than putting constraints on food production and blaming farmers for climate change.
