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.

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.
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?
I'd welcome a 20mph on my road, in fact I'm going to email the council now.
