Wales does not have a blanket 20mph limit. They have simply changed the default. If local authorities want to apply a 30mph limit to a road, they can, just like they could previously apply 20mph where appropriate.

If only they would , my journey to my local supermarket is , 500 yards 20mph traffic lights ( t junction) 20mph 600 yards , traffic lights ( cross roads )30 mph 35yds , traffic lights 30 mph . 50yds roundabout 20mph off it 500yds 30mph . Traffic lights T-junction turn 20mph . If you carried on you go to 20mph the after 10 yds then back to 30 mph and yet more traffic lights
