The speed cameras that have been turned on again from today
Some speed cameras in Wales which were switched off to enable the introduction of the 20mph speed limits across Wales have been turned on again from today (Monday, November 20). South Wales Police[1] has provided a list of the cameras that were “briefly” put on stop. In September the Welsh Government introduced the default 20mph limit which changed most, but not all, 30mph roads to 20mph. Find out the latest polling here.[2][3]
South Wales Police said the cameras which were switched off were in areas that remained at 30mph under the new legislation, and added that “cameras will operate to help enforce the speed limit and keep road users safe”.
