Where mobile speed cameras will be enforcing 20mph speed limit in North Wales in April

Enforcement of Wales’ default 20mph speed limit was stepped up last month – six months after the new default limit came into force. Until then, only roads that were 20mph before the law change were being specifically monitored by GoSafe.

The safety partnership has now added more roads to its monitoring list and the latest list of locations is out. North Wales Live has looked at the latest GoSafe map which shows there are 20 sites being monitored as April starts.

These include new 20mph locations and sites that had previously been 20mph – like those outside schools. A majority of the enforcement is still being carried out at school locations.

Usual police guidance for enforcement thresholds is no less than 10% over the limit, plus 2mph. However chief police officers in Wales have allowed a more lenient threshold on 20mph roads while motorists “come to terms” with the new default limit. The 20mph threshold is currently 10% plus 4mph, meaning prosecutions start at 26mph.
