Will engagement and education be used in incidences where people exceed 20mph in a 20mph zone, or is fining the only method being used?
There are no 20mph zones in Wales. The law has changed the default speed limited on restricted roads.
I have provided funding to the GoSafe road safety partnership, including for Operation Ugain which launched on 8 January 2024. Op Ugain delivers roadside engagement across Wales through a partnership between GoSafe, Welsh Police Forces, and Welsh Fire and Rescue Services. It is focused on engaging with communities in areas where the speed limit has changed from 30mph to 20mph. The aim is to help drivers adjust to the change.
GoSafe and the Police are responsible for enforcement. You can find further information at GoSafe | 20mph Engagement and Enforcement
