Question
Are local authorities able to make adjustments to the roads designated as 20 mph, after the initial roll-out of the default 20 mph scheme?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Yes, highway authorities can make evidence-based decisions on setting exceptions to the default speed limit of 20mph on restricted roads in Wales. We have provided guidance on this to ensure a consistent approach to exceptions across Wales is taken; yet allowing for local factors and circumstances to be taken into account.
