If you're in Wales you're seeing this headline here recently,

Wales first UK nation to drop speed limit from 30 miles per hour.

And so you start to look into this, we're going to pack this story a little bit.

Why are we talking about speed limits? Well there's a little bit of a story beyond this and

just to get into this a little more let's hear from some of the people in Wales and how do they feel about

this take a listen. All right. Speed limit in Wales as you know has been slashed on

all residential roads as of yesterday. In a UK first the Welsh government has

lowered most speed limits in urban areas to a default 20

miles an hour or 32 kilometers an hour.

For the Welsh government it's about improving safety with a change expected to result in 40% fewer collisions and

encourage people to get around in other ways like cycling or public transport.

It's very frustrating. I've noticed on my commute to work even on roads that are not 20 miles an hour the

traffic is backing up.

We've now got a petition of 450,000 people who say it's a bad idea, get rid of it.

It's keeping the traffic really terrible.

Anywhere you travel like maybe 10 or 5 minutes,

it takes you like over half an hour.

I'm rather skeptical since they slow down things like

commutes and emergency services and can ultimately reduce the productivity of

the nation. With any traffic jams anything like that it'll be going along as a snail space.

People who've been driving in these areas for years, it's just going to be too hard to change and it will cost a lot I think to get all the remapping and all the signs and I just think it's overall not a good idea.

I don't know what they're complaining about if you pass a 20 mile per hour zone all over America I'm sure we'd be just fine
