From next year,Ā itās been revealedĀ that the 20mph limits introduced across Wales last September could be set to go back to 30mph. Rhydian Jones, motor expert atĀ Confused.comĀ car insuranceĀ comments:
“Over the next few months and into early next year, drivers in Wales may notice that roads which were changed to a 20mph speed limit could start reverting back to 30mph. Whilst opinions on 20mph zones have been divided, itās important to remember they have been put in place for a reason.
āThose campaigning for 20mph zones cite less collisions and cleaner air quality as reasons to reduce speed limits. Drivers should always be mindful of surroundings and pedestrians and be fully aware of the speed limit on the road theyāre driving. We understand it may be confusing to drivers as roads in Wales start to revert back to 30mph so in order to avoid getting a speeding fine, drivers should remain alert and check online for updates.
āIf you are fined, the amount could depend on your annual income, which band your speeding fine falls into and how much faster than the limit you were driving. Using ourĀ speeding fine calculatorĀ will help you to work out how much you might owe if you are caught.”
