Rejected petition Stop the 20mph speed limit coming into effect across Wales.

A 20 mph limit around schools, children's playgrounds may be justified but a blanket speed limit of 20 mph is not. It will lead to road rage, confusion with people coming from outside of Wales being caught unaware expensive motoring as most driving will be in third gear, higher levels of pollution and greater incidents of respiratory disease. The proposal was not part of your manifesto and the people of Wales have had no say .
