Will the Minister provide an update on whether they have provided local authorities with guidance on how they can revert suitable 20mph roads back to 30mph?
Guidance is provided here Setting exceptions to the 20mph default speed limit for restricted roads | GOV.WALES.
From the outset we have said that we wouldn’t get the speed limit on every single restricted road in Wales right first time. We have appointed a small team of experts to work with local authorities to review how the guidance on making exceptions has been applied and to suggest ways we could help highway authorities make changes. The review will examine the application of guidance given to highway authorities in setting exceptions to the default 20mph limit Review of 20mph default speed limit exceptions: terms of reference.
The group has published its interim report and will now gather a wide range of views on the exceptions guidance from Highway Authorities, stakeholder groups and representative bodies.
