Any Welsh people out there who would like to comment?

It already has. All roads within London's congestion charging zone have a 20mph speed limit (apprently - news to me).
The Scottish government want to lower the speed limit of most residential roads to 20mph by 2025.
Bristol and Manchester, have either already introduced a default limit of 20mph or have outlined plans to do so.
Would I welcome it in my own area? I suppose like many things it'd be an irritant at first but I'd soon get used to it.
SP, it's not the whole area yet.
"As of February 2023, we have provided a 20mph speed limit on 110km of the TLRN across London. In March 2020, we introduced a 20mph speed limit on all our roads within the central London Congestion Charging Zone, under phase 1 of the programme.
In the next phase of the lowering speed limits programme, by March 2024, we aim to lower the speed limit on a further 140km of TLRN, including 37 town centre locations to provide safer, more pleasant environments for people to travel within London."
Further to Corby's link, Breakfast on BBC today covered this saying that some roads carrying high levels of traffic but in areas of low number of residential properties will continue with 30 mph limits. It didn't make sense to me as the reporter stood on a pavement and residences were clearly in view.
In my village the 30 mph limit is often broken and the local community is investigating what might be done to alleviate the problem. Volunteers are regularly out with a radar gun but for short periods of time, no doubt to outwit those who are expecting to come across them. The high-viz coats are a bit of a give away. I applaud them for their efforts though.
I see no reason why pedestrians should risk their lives to cross the road.
Not Welsh but. Their regional government is even more out of their tiny minds than the national one. Costing taxpayers millions to oppress the citizens, due to some ego manics wanting to manipulate the public for their own sense of self esteem, and just coming up with ridiculous excuses in the erroneous belief that anyone much will be gullible enough to believe it. I will cost as much to return to sanity when the fools lose control. Another example of why we despair at those presently in charge. Just about anything done by them just raises the blood pressure to dangerous levels.
