Consultation on the proposed exceptions to the default 20mph speed limit within Vale of Glamorgan County Borough Council.
New legislation from Welsh Government means that the default national speed limit will fall from 30mph to 20mph on restricted roads. The legislation will come into force across Wales on 17th September 2023. From that date, the maximum speed you can legally travel on restricted roads will be 20mph.
On some roads, a 20mph speed limit would not be appropriate or feasible. These roads will be known as exceptions, and the 30mph speed limit can remain. We will follow the statutory Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) process to make exceptions. The TRO process will also include proposals for 30mph buffer zones. These zones will act as transitions from the higher limit into the new 20mph default limit and additional lengths of roads which considered appropriate to reduce to 20mph by Order for consistency and to simplify signing requirements.
or in person at the Civic Offices reception where paper copies of the schedule and accompanying plans will be available to view until Wednesday 19 July, between 9am to 5pm Monday to Thursday, and 9am to 4pm on Friday.
Have your say
You can share your views on the proposed 30mph ‘exception roads’ and associated TROs from Thursday 22 June2023 to midnight on Wednesday 19 July 2023.
