If you are stopped by the police they can give you a verbal warning, send you a fixed penalty notice, offer a speed awareness course or order you to go to court.firefighting staff will help police enforce the new limitAn education campaign ahead of the change involving police, firefighters and other community groups is using roadside speed checks in existing 20mph zones.
There has been a pilot scheme running in eight areas of Wales since 2021. They are St Dogmaels in Pembrokeshire, St Brides Major in the Vale of Glamorgan, Llanelli , Buckley in Flintshire, Cardiff , Cilfrew in Neath Porth Talbot, Abergavenny and Severnside in Monmouthshire. Many areas of London now have 20mph as the default speed for residential roads, while Scotland plans to follow Wales' lead and make the policy nationwide by 2025.
