Serious c rashes on 20mph and 30mph roads at ‘record low’

1. No shit. Let the right wing nutters scream and shout about how bad the 20 MPH is though 

2. Roads are safer, fewer serious injuries/death and insurance is cheaper than England.

   Journey times slightly longer.

   Welsh Government needs to be stopped!

3. Delivery driver here, cover 60/70 miles a day and the 20 mph limit has maybe added 10 mins to my day. Quite happy with it should be rolled out nationwide

4. I think it’s a great idea for residential areas but seeing it on some main through roads, at seemingly random spots, just seems overkill.

5. The tears over this was ridiculous.

6. It’s fine as long as they don’t actually start enforcing it.

7. They are, neighbour got done for doing 26mph in a 20 zone., theres Barry police for you!

8. so it worked, funny that

9. People who whinge about it have far too much time on their hands. I go through multiple 20mphs and barely notice it.

10. Okay, then let’s make it 10mph, will be even fewer crashes then. And then make it 5mph, and then ban cars altogether, there will be record low crashes….

11. Oh.

12. Now look at the increase in potholes versus the decrease in serious crashes over the period AND the five years before the roll out and notice the decrease has been a smooth trajectory as the number of potholes has drastically increased. 20mph has done nothing to increase the downwards trajectory of road crashes that cannot as readily be explained by the worst Welsh road network in over a hundred years.

13. Unexpectedly 20mph is fine and, given that cars are ridiculously weighing in at approaching 3 tonnes, very necessary. Being hit at, say 30mph by 2 – 3 tonnes is pretty serious!
    Perhaps taxed cars by weight AND keep the 20mph areas.

14. And what about the figures on roads that are not 20 or 30 ? Have these gon e up because of people avoiding the 20’s ??

15. I was against it but seeing that data it’s obviously positive so I fully support it.
