20mph exceptions confirmed
Published: 22/09/2023
In preparation for the implementation of Welsh Government鈥檚 new 20mph legislation on 17 September 2023, 天涯社区 undertook an assessment of local roads against current national guidance.听听
As a result of this assessment the following were identified:
- sections of a small number of roads that had the potential for existing speed limits to be increased above 30mph, and
- sections of roads that could be considered 鈥榚xceptions鈥� to Welsh Government鈥檚 new 20mph legislation.
Earlier this summer 天涯社区 formally consulted the public on the Traffic Regulation Orders related to these roads.
Responses received during the consultation process have now been impartially considered and the outcome of the statutory formal process has determined that the following stretches of road will now progress as outlined below.听
