Speed limits in built-up areas of Wales will be reduced from 30mph to 20mph in Wales from next year – a UK first that has provoked a massive outrage saying this will just lead to more traffic and emissions.
Ministers say a 20mph speed limit will lower road collisions and traffic noise and encourage people to walk and cycle.
The slower limit has been divisive in areas where there have been trials with some motorists complaining of more congestion and journeys taking longer.
The proposed new law will be put before a Welsh Parliament vote on Tuesday.
Many UK towns and cities have 20mph limits on residential roads but Wales is to become the first nation to impose it as the default on all restricted roads – with Scotland set to follow suit in 2025.
