Serious crashes on 20mph and 30mph roads in Wales are the lowest since records began, according to new data.
Statistics Wales has released provisional data for the last quarter of 2024, showing a continued fall in the number of serious casualties on record.
The Welsh government's controversial 20mph policy saw most 30 mph roads change to 20 mph from 17 September 2023, and the figures showed collisions along these roads decreased by 19% in 2024, compared to 2023.
It comes as Wrexham reverted the first two roads in north Wales back to 30mph, with Transport Secretary Ken Skates previously estimating the cost of switching some roads back to 30mph across Wales could cost up to £5 million.
