T he 20mph speed limit has many critics across Wales, but some people in two villages have said they would welcome it near their homes. A number of residents in Eglwys Fach and Furnace in Ceredigion said they did not feel safe walking in the villages, which have a 40mph speed limit on a section of a main road without a pavement.

In 2022, the Senedd voted to make Wales the first nation in the UK to adopt 20mph as the default speed limit on restricted roads. It started on 17 September, and has proved controversial - but how does it work?

Nearly half a million people - a record number for the Welsh parliament - have backed calls to scrap the "stupid" 20mph speed limits.

Wales' 20mph zones should be targeted at schools, hospitals and nurseries, the new transport secretary has said. Ken Skates said there was support for the speed limit in areas where children and the elderly were "at risk".
