A motion calling for the Welsh Government to reverse the 20mph default speed limit and adopt a “targeted approach” instead will be debated in the Senedd next week.

The motion, brought forward by the Welsh Conservatives will also call for a review of the current strict criteria for new road building in Wales.

Under new Welsh Government rules, road projects must not increase carbon emissions, increase the number of cars on the road, lead to higher speeds and higher emissions, and must not negatively impact the environment.

In February 2023, following a year long review, all major road building projects in Wales were scrapped including the planned third Menai bridge.

The “groundbreaking” policy has been described as “world-leading and brave” by environmental campaigners.
