Speed Limits: Wales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what assessment she has made of the economic impact of the 20mph speed limit on Welsh roads.
Answered by Jo Stevens
The Welsh Government has been clear that the primary objective of this policy is to save lives and reduce casualties.
From April-June 2024, both collisions and casualties on 20mph and 30mph roads have fallen by almost a quarter compared to the same period of 2023.
