Stop Welsh 20 mph limit, consider crackdown for local institutions.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Declare unlawful or limit power to Welsh Senedd that wants to implement blanket 20mph limit.
This measure is going to impact residents' daily life, with a very high risk to be disqualified for fines under 25mph, fines are expensive and impact families' budgets, signs are not clear, speed cameras hidden everywhere, people have to look at the speed more than the road and it will slow down safety and health services too where it's not possible to overtake. We need better and more public transport options to leave the car at home rather than punishing everyone for having one.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
