Drivers who break Welsh 20mph speed limit will be facing fines from today

Enforcement of the controversial new 20mph limit officially starts across Wales today. There has been a softly, softly approach so far to enforcement on roads, where the limit has changed, to allow motorists to get used to the new limit, with a greater focus on engagement with drivers.

According to GoSafe, enforcement was reintroduced on existing 20mph areas at the start of November - these were places that were 20mph prior to September 17, when the new limit came into effect. However from today, all roads including the new ones with a 20mph limit, will be subject to enforcement.
