20mph speed limits in Wales deemed as very unpopular.

[Graham Butcher]

the 20mph speed limit introduced in Wales it seems is not and was not as popular with the locals as the Welsh Government had thought it was. Who would have thought that 🙄.

 

It seems that many roads are being restored to their original 30mph unless statistics can prove otherwise. It has always made sense to make roads near schools and hospitals 20mph, but with the schools limits only being applicable during school times and terms, absolutely no need for such limits at weekends or after say 6pm, common-sense is going to prevail it seems at last.

I certainly agree the 20mph limit needed reverting on some (many?) of the roads. But what annoyed me was the reported rationale for changing back was [paraphrased] ‘it shows we are listening’. Never a mention of ‘we got it wrong’.

[Graham Butcher]

Now come on, when have you ever known or heard a politician admit that they got anything wrong, the closest they get to it they always have some flowery way of phrasing it so it appear as if they passing the buck to a fall guy, some faceless bureaucrat or similar is normally their patsy. 😆
