Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy is deeply concerned that over 85,000 motorists in Wales were caught exceeding the 20mph speed limit in 2024.
With 36,710 in North Wales, the figures expose the policy's disconnect from daily life. Despite claims of "effectiveness," many residents see it as "ridiculous."
GoSafe data from December shows the average speed of those caught in North Wales was 28.5mph.
Commenting on the news Janet said:
“That nearly 100,000 motorists have been caught breaching the 20mph limit, it is yet further evidence of public dissatisfaction with the law.
“Local authorities in North Wales should urgently disclose the outcome of the reviews of all 20mph roads.
“The longer local authorities delay on making changes, the more who will be caught and public dissatisfaction will grow”.
