I've barely noticed it where I am. In fact some roads have increased to 30 in caldicot.

However, what I have noticed is so many a-roads and motorways are 50mph recently. It takes a fucking age to get to Cardiff or abergavenny because so much of the route is 50mph. The m48 is all 50 because they found the barriers unsafe and, if the m32 is anything to go by, the barriers will never be sorted.

yeah for me the 50s on the motorway are FAR more annoying than the 20s on residential streets.

The M32 was due to be classified as an A road due to the changes in speed. Now the council are going to add bus stops for the (failed) Metrobus scheme, so it'll officially move away from becoming a motorway soon.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
