The Welsh parliament has passed a law bringing down the speed limit on all residential roads and busy streets to 20 mph (30 km/h). Not everyone is pleased.

    While this is a point the naysayers brought up, the slower speeds during the trial period reduced accidents, the severity of accidents, and the slower speeds encouraged more foot and bicycle traffic on those roads

      Do you know when the trial period was?

      I ask because the Welsh government apparently carried out a pollution test to justify the lowered speed limit on the main road into the capital, but did it during the Covid lockdown, when most cars were off the road.
