Speed limits in built-up areas look set to be reduced from 30mph to 20mph in Wales from next year - a UK first that is controversial among some drivers.

Ministers say a 20mph speed limit will lower road collisions and traffic noise and encourage people to walk and cycle.

Balance “ lower road collisions and traffic noise and encourage people to walk and cycle” with wasted fuel and road rage.

My most major suprise here, is that they measure in MILES per hour.

And buried deep in the article is the real reason ( methinks most FReepers instinctively knew this ), WEF/Climate Change Karens :

"Why do some ministers think it will benefit the environment?
Ministers in Cardiff have been promoting sustainable travel - such as cycling or walking - after Wales declared a climate emergency in 2019 and aim to become carbon net zero by 2050.
They think a lower limit might encourage a change in behaviour."

20 kph is about 12½ mph.

But doesn't Britain use the metric system now?

Lowering speed limis to 20 maybe great but Whales needs to make cars out of NERF to be real safe.
