The average speed in England hovers just above 16mph on urban classified roads, with central London recognized as the slowest city globally at 9mph.
Polling from YouGov showed that 72% of Welsh voters opposed the 20mph speed limit plan, highlighting strong resistance particularly among Tory voters at a staggering 93%.
Despite proposing a 20mph standard speed limit in urban Wales, Welsh Labour quickly faced backlash, resulting in a partial rollback of the policy, reinstating 30mph limits.
The culture war over speed limits escalated when Westminster's transport secretary stated it was up to local councils to implement traffic-calming measures, sparking significant media coverage.
