flag Wales' 20mph speed limit reduced injuries by 900 and saved 14 lives since implementation.

flag Two years after lowering the default speed limit to 20mph on Welsh roads, data shows a significant drop in injuries, with 882 fewer people hurt since the change, and 900 fewer injuries overall, according to the Welsh government. flag The reduction is especially notable on 20-30mph roads, where casualties fell twelve times more than on faster roads. flag The policy, which cost £34m and sparked a record petition, has been linked to 14 lives saved and the lowest injury rate for a three-month period since records began in 1979. flag While some critics remain concerned about safety, the government and advocacy groups say the results are promising and suggest long-term benefits, including lower insurance costs.
