Update: The Welsh Government is now going to reverse parts of the controversial £34m default 20mph speed limit - the policy is in response to “consistent” concerns raised by "a lot of people" and follows a severe backlash to the government's initial plans, which saw a Senedd petition opposing them reach almost 470,000 signatures - the most ever. Demonstrations were also held, with protesters brandishing banners and placards opposing the plans. The government said it was now looking to support highways authorities when making decisions on speed limits:-

It will cost £5 million to revert the roads back to 30mph, the process will begin in the autumn....the default 20mph policy was introduced in September last year, with the promise that lower speed limits would lead to fewer collisions and people injured. The Welsh Government provided funding to Wales' 22 councils for new signs required to alert drivers of the speed limit.
