Enforcement of the controversial new 20mph limit officially starts across Wales today. There has been a softly, softly approach so far to enforcement on roads, where the limit has changed, to allow motorists to get used to the new limit, with a greater focus on engagement with drivers.
According to GoSafe, enforcement was reintroduced on existing 20mph areas at the start of November - these were places that were 20mph prior to September 17, when the new limit came into effect. However from today, all roads including the new ones with a 20mph limit, will be subject to enforcement.
In my experience, there are now 2 main types of driver in Wales:
-
Those who do 40mph everywhere
-
Those who aren’t sure if they’re in a 20 so slow to about 15mph
There is definitely the third lot who just know what to drive and do so.
