Per UK Daily Mail:
The Welsh Labour government is set to scrap its blanket 20mph speed limits just a year after they were introduced.
Ken Skates, the Welsh transport minister, admitted ‘errors have been made’ with the scheme, which is set to be reverted in September this year with the introduction of new guidance across the country.
This will allow local authorities to raise the speed limit to be back to 30mph on certain roads ‘outside urban centres and rural residential roads with no nearby facilities’.
They will also be increased on major routes, such as bus corridors, with minimal cyclist and pedestrian traffic and on some urban roads.
It comes after more than half a million signatures were added to a Senedd petition opposing the divisive policy aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
The root cause of most stupid and harmful things.

I didn’t think there was any place in Wales that anyone would want to get to fast…
“raise the speed limit to be back to 30mph on certain roads…with no nearby facilities”
Look, if someone’s gotta go and there are no nearby facilities, it’s gonna be real hard to stay under 30 mph even.
