I can see EGR's filling and faultering even more than normal with this new rule, that and higher fuel consumption.
It will not save lives - if anything from the build up of pollution being kept in urban zones for longer - long term this will lead to more illnesses and maybe even more deaths
Yes I think this could become an issue
incorrect, my street just became 20mph and i love it

It is obviously a cash grab! this law should not be actually implemented until ALL signs have been changed from 30 to 20, and ALL avenues of notification to the public have been used.
More 20’s are being unveiled daily

It's a stupid idea. I won't be visiting for a holiday or day out.
Wow that is a bit extreme
I think that’s a bit much, it’s still a beautiful place to visit and it only really effects a small area of roads at the moment, I think by boycotting you only loss out yourself

At 20mph we are going to spend longer driving anywhere, which mean even more ''emissions'', also, we will need to drop down a gear which will probably mean more revs, which will mean more ''emissions''. 20mph in certain parts of towns and villages is fine when you have narrow streets and parked cars, but in other areas where you have clear visibility and wide roads it is idiotic.
Agreed

Youd better get your wife or you used to walking in front with a red flag, shouting danger horseless carriage coming. Here in South Australia we have fifty kmh as default, some areas are forty kmh, school and road works zones and passing an emergency vehicle or school bus with lights flashing are twenty five kmh. We're three km from shops and go through three fifty k one sixty k a twenty five k if kids are around and to come home add a forty k.
Australia always seem to be ahead of the game with rules! I like the certain times rule that makes a lot of sense

i love my new 20mph street, it is going to stay that way too ... otherwise I will stop paying rates
Why do you love it so much?
@@WilliamMurfitt Because our road is now 20mph .. traffic sound is half, less dust is kicked up, the road seems less hurried and less stressed, and of course, it's much safer. It used to be 30mph which was bad enough but drivers used to do 40-60mph instead. The 20mph limit has had a psychological effect and reduced the speed 20-25 .. that is why I am happy about the change.

Top tip, if you were heading for Llandudno stick to A55 and then A470! Note goverment thinks it will re-coup costs in lower NHS expenses and costs incurred in accidents, emergency sevices, disability costs etc. At least Flintshire has exempted more roads than Wrexham and Denbighshire.
That is a great tip :) we travelled from Llandudno junction to angel bay so had limited options for road choices on Sunday. But it wasn’t that bad really

Wales, land of the sea & the mist. Now, Wales land of the sea & best missed!
As Wales relies heavily on tourism, it's a strange decision.

Well I wouldn’t at all, however 20 in this case would be far better for all involved. This is a great positive to the change and hopefully it will save lives as a result

Harder to overtake cyclists so more dangerous. Lower speed pollutes more driving in lower gears.
It’s ok the cyclists will be faster anyway 🤣 hopefully they allow enough room whilst passing
20mph limit = engine damage, more pollution, heavier traffic and in my opinion many more RTAs and pedestrian injuries as drivers eyes will be constantly on their speedo and not the road.
Has everything to do with control and very little to do with the environment
Don't overtake cyclists if it is dangerous.
@ditch3827 clearly. Not sure why you commented that. Kind of goes without saying. Maybe you miss read my comment where I said it makes it MORE dangerous. NOT that it makes it dangerous. My point was that if you were looking to overtake a cyclist who was doing 15mph (for example) you only have 5mph left to overtake with. Before it would have been 15 mph. It now takes 3 times longer to get past once overtaking commences. Hence MORE dangerous as you spend more time in the opposite lane for the overtake.

Is this a thing, or just a conspiracy theory?

Why abide buy the rules. When they don't . 25 years we have asked too get a grip on boarder crossings ,crimes, house and have they done it no. But because the UK is in so much financial trouble through bad practice. So we get punished.
It’s the government, if I don’t follow the rules I get points, fines and lose of my license and freedom. For the sake for following the rules it’s not that bad really

Part two update: 20mph Wales 3 Week Update

Surely if the road says 30mph you can do 30 mph or why would it say 30 mph.
That makes no sense.
If anything that comes under the trade description act to falsely advertise something is against the law, and if the road sign says 30 but the road is actually 20 that would be false advertising at the base minimum.
If on the other hand they brought in 20 and took away the 30 signs then ok drive around in first gear.
But remember the highway code is not all law, it is a code of conduct, and if the law says you must obey a road sign and the only road sign says 30 maximum then you are entitled to go 30 mph in law, the code of conduct may suggest to you to go 20 but you are entitled to go 30.
They need to change the signs or any challenge in court would see the driver win I believe.
Screen shot taken should I need this in future 👍
@@WilliamMurfitt I would ask the youtube lawyer he is pretty clued up on the actual law.
But some signs are mandatory others are warnings, you can't have confusing signs and then fine someone that is not right, and where there has been such situations the courts have to sort it out.
Make sure your dash cam is on and submit it as evidence should you ever get stopped.,
