What consideration has the Minister given to introducing speed limit reductions on unrestricted roads lying between restricted roads?
We are currently updating the Setting Local Speed Limits in Wales (SLSLiW) guidance, to reflect current Welsh Government policy including the national roll-out of 20mph speed limits and to meet the ambitions highlighted in Llwybr Newydd: the Wales Transport Strategy 2021.
Publication of the new SLSLiW guidance is being coordinated to ensure alignment with the new Road Safety Strategy and will be published next year. The work may see a change in the criteria for lower speed limits in Wales.
The Welsh Government will review the speed limits across the trunk road network, following publication of the updated guidance.
