I feel that the biggest drawback to a 20 mph limit is the added pollution that will be entering the homes alongside these roads. In Exmouth about 30 years ago, they built a new road to the docks and had to fit air filtration to all the houses on route to catch this extra exhaust pollution. I doubt the Government will pay out for that in Wales.
Of course, we will all be buying electric cars so 20 mph still causes no pollution. My own car would run at 20 mph on battery in Summer in these areas for a few miles then the 2 litre engine fires up to go uphill. At 20 mph, my engine is fairly high rpm with its cvt gearbox. Equivalent to second gear driving

No exhaust pollution maybe, but they still produce tyre & brake dust. Not all vehicle polltion comes from the exhaust.

Battery production - no one ever seems to dicuss that.

Who needs a signature anyway......

"Of course, we will all be buying electric cars ..."

You say that so often and so seriously that it's still fooling me into believing that you actually think that will happen.

Ford just cancelled their plans for an electric SUV, as they are hemorrhaging billions of dollars per year in losses. They are stopping construction on their new EV plants. The original globalist "All Electric by 2025" has been dead a couple of years, and 2030 and 2035 are looking impossible.

Whatever can't happen won't happen. And EVs as a general replacement for IC cars can't happen.

It's April Fools Day here.

A black millionaire who has been elected President twice, and a black billionaire, are up at the Democratic Convention talking about how some people have made too much money that they don't deserve, and how America is an irredeemably racist country that needs tearing down ...

A British Trillionaire managed to keep all his money after a trial, then went to party and sank his boat.
That was real Tough. What are the chances of that happening
