 Get ready for 20 miles per hour. Welsh Government. From the 17th of September 2023, most 30 mile per hour speed limits across Wales will change to 20 miles per hour. For 20 miles per hour it's safer for everyone where we live, work and play. Let's look out for each other. Hashtag ready for 20 MPH. It's safer at 20 MPH. In the distance you can stop a car travelling at 20 MPH. A 30 MPH car would still be doing 24 MPH and when someone is hit at 30 MPH they are around five times more likely to be killed than when hit at 20 MPH. A public health study estimates that the move to 20 MPH speed limits will result every year in Wales in 40% fewer collisions, 6 to 10 lives saved, 1,200 to 2,000 people avoiding injury. Most journeys will be around one minute longer whilst overall we can expect that our streets and communities will be safer with fewer collisions, injuries and deaths, all of which will reduce the impact on emergency services and the NHS. More of us at all ages will feel safer to walk, cycle and wheel in our communities. Our health and wellbeing will be improved now and for future generations. See street lights think 20 MPH. When you see street lights assume that the speed limit is 20 MPH unless you see signs that say otherwise. Most affected streets are in residential or built-up areas where people and vehicles mix. Go safe, police and partners will continue to educate and engage with our communities and enforce 20 MPH speed limits to make roads safer for all of us. Remember, see street lights think 20 MPH. 20 MPH, a bit slower but a whole lot better. Most people in Wales, 63% support a lower speed limit where they live. Help create safer streets and healthier communities. Drive at 20 MPH or below as a default on streets where people live, work and play.
