00:00The 20mph speed limit. Controversial, impactful and incredibly divisive.
00:10And for the last few months it's been catching people out, as, since January, drivers have
00:14been fined for breaking the speed limit.
00:18Since the start of the year over 2,100 drivers have been issued with fines, with over 1,000
00:24in April alone.
00:25There has been a drastic increase from March, which saw roughly half of the number of fines
00:30issued, partly because North Wales has only recently started issuing those fines.
00:37In April, one driver was caught speeding at over 70mph in a 20mph zone.
00:44Transport Secretary Ken Skates has said that a number of roads will revert to 30mph after
00:49the massive backlash, and we will see a more considered approach, as the Welsh Government
00:53say they want to listen to the public on future speed limit decision making.
