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.

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."

I can’t think of anything more inept than to keep a vehicle in the lowest-speed ratio, 1st gear, which gets the very worst mileage, compared to 3rd gear. Obviously you waste more gas.

20 miles an hour is reasonable. Remember, those people drive on the left side of the road.
