Likely the new speed limits have had some effect but looking at the data how much is up for debate. It looks at the moment like the typical drop we have seen over the last few years (COVID the exception), will need further data to see if this is off the trend or not
I still think it’s too early to call it either way. Especially as on the graph collisions have bounced back up (as they have done historically). 2 points on the graph like this is not enough to show if the policy has yet changed the overall downward trajectory on the graph.

It’s rare to see anyone actually doing 20 in a 20 zone.
All the Drakeford creeps lapping it up. Doesn’t show the decrease in tourism though, so the seasonal figures will be conveniently skewed. Also it’s across a wide range of roads. Lies, statistics etc etc as the saying goes.
