Maps showing roads in Swansea which could be exempt from a new 20mph speed limit are being finalised. There will be maps for all the county's 32 wards and an opportunity for the public to comment on them.
A council scrutiny committee meeting heard that a communications campaign would get under way shortly across Wales about the 20mph nationwide switch for roads with street lighting, which will take place on September 17. Councillors asked how the new default limit would be enforced with some questioning just how compliant drivers would be.
The Welsh Government's ambition for the new limit is to save lives, encourage more people to walk and cycle, and reduce pollution associated with vehicle tyre and brake wear. A report before the committee said the "primary disbenefit" was an increase in travel time.
