Thumbs down 20mph is just the start.

So the "blanket" 20 mph speed limit that Welsh Labour says is not a "blanket" limit is now in force in Wales.

My home city was one of the "trial" areas so most of us have got used to it. 3rd gear almost everywhere, dropping mpg substantially and causing higher emissions.

But, it'll save "6 to 10 lives" in vehicle vs pedestrian collisions.

Mind you, the same report, commissioned by the Welsh Arsembly, also says that "in terms of air pollution, deaths attributed to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) may increase by 63, and years of life lost by 753 ".

It's all guesstimation of course.

Meanwhile, a Welsh Arsembly document has come to light (page 45) that shows how they are going to ruin Wales even further in pursuit of their dogma.

"Further work will be undertaken to develop a fair and equitable road user charging framework, including how local authorities can borrow against these future revenue streams to fund transport improvements; and also consider other alternatives such as workplace car parking levies and road space reallocation."
