A response to new report on 20mph speed limit
Commenting on a new report suggesting cutting speed limits on urban roads to 20mph does not significantly improve road safety, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies MS said:
“We have always said that introducing 20mph speed limits should be decided by local councils and implemented for specific places, such as outside of schools, hospitals and care homes.
“It is clear that, unlike what Labour Ministers would have you believe, evidence regarding the benefits of blanket implementation of a 20mph speed limit is not conclusive.
“What we do know is that, according to Labour ministers, this policy will cost the economy an astonishing £4.5bn.”
