Question
Further to WQ85121, will the Minister provide an update on the Welsh Government's commitment to reduce the speed limit on the main road through Scleddau?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Proposals to reduce the speed limit in Scleddau have been paused as we are updating the Setting Local Speed Limits in Wales guidance, to reflect current Welsh Government policy including the national roll-out of 20mph speed limits and to meet the ambitions highlighted in Llwybr Newydd: the Wales Transport Strategy 2021.
The new guidance will be published later this year and the work may see a change in the criteria for lower speed limits in Wales. The Welsh Government will review the speed limits across the trunk road network, following publication of the updated guidance.
