Council scraps 20mph speed limit and brings back 30mph in some areas

A council trialling the new 20mph speed limit on roads has said it will restore the old 30mph limit after people had objected.

Monmouthshire Council introduced the slower speed limit in eight areas earlier this year as part of a trial ahead of a Senedd decision to introduce 20mph as the national speed limit on residential roads in Wales. But the limit has caused chaos for some residents and in May many motorists in Caldicot spoke to WalesOnline about their frustrations with the plans.

The Welsh Government has since clarified its rules around the default speed limit and Monmouthshire announced in July that it would revert back to 30mph in Caldicot.
