Speed limit praise as girl, five, survives 20mph crash

Since September 2023, Welsh government policy means 20mph, rather than 30mph, is the speed limit in more built-up areas.

The policy is currently being reviewed after almost half a million people signed a petition opposing the lower limit, with a number of road signs having been damaged.

The Welsh government acknowledged the new lower limit is not appropriate everywhere and said local authorities can make exceptions, though not outside schools.

Recent figures suggest there was a 23% drop in casualties on 20mph and 30mph roads in Wales in the first three months of 2024.

Ffion added: “It’s concerning because this is one of our main roads here in Pen Llŷn, so many travel on it on a daily basis.

“We’d been away and had just come back from Spain that day, Nanw had been to her grandmother’s and they were walking to the park at the time.

“I think Nanw was excited to see her friends to tell her stories from Spain and it happened so quickly.

“It only takes seconds for something to happen.”
