And of course, the Welsh Conservative assembly members voted FOR it, with only one of them voting against.

What's an average car journey, about 3 miles or something isn't it, so at most, about 2 or 3 minutes longer. Presumably though there would be less slowing down at roundabouts etc as less bunching and all that?
For most of my car trips in 20mph areas the limit are junction throughput. Driving faster just gets you to the back of the queue faster. Spaniards Road in Hampstead is the best illustration.
I'd welcome a 20mph on my road, in fact I'm going to email the council now.
Without enforcement it does very little.

When you strip out the non-Welsh signatories it’s standing at about 9% of the total population of wales. That’s a pretty decent chunk of votes to chase.
Nationally the average car journey is just over 8 miles with 58% of all car journeys being under 5 miles (2019 data from DfT). I’d wager an 8 mile trip in the near constant Welsh rain is putting a lot of people squarely in the car camp.

There was similar blowback when the government introduced a 70mph limit on the newly made motorway, but later on it was proven to save a lots of lives.

about 2 or 3 minutes longer.
Or not longer at all, going by a lot of the research undertaken.

New 20mph limits in Wales not going down well. 200,000 petiton and the Welsh conservatives getting behind the petition (who I assume are as bad as non welsh conservatives).
Image getting that upset that you have to drive a bit slower around vulnerable people.
