Sample data suggests that most motorists in Wales are still adhering to the new 20mph speed limit on many roads, although there has been a slight increase in speeds compared to the initial figures when the limit was introduced.
Independent transport consultants Agilysis conducted an analysis using TomTom data and found that speeds on sample routes in Cardiff and Wrexham had dropped by 2.3mph, compared to a drop of 3.1mph in the first week of the new limit.
The Welsh government introduced the 20mph national speed limit to reduce road collisions, deaths, noise, and pollution and to encourage more walking and cycling. However, the policy has faced opposition from some quarters.
