20mph Offence Data
Enforcement in 20mph areas started to be reintroduced at the beginning of November 2023. This was in existing 20mph enforcement locations that weren’t affected by the legislation change and had the correct signage in place.
GoSafe temporarily suspended 20mph enforcement in September 2023 following the legislation change. The decision was made for several reasons. This included allowing people time to adjust to the change, to allow Highways authorities to adjust road signage and Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO), and due to roadside engagement sessions being prioritised. This data monitoring period stopped on 18th March 2024, following approval from Chief Constables, and any concerns of speeding in 20mph are treated as in any other speed limit.
Roadside engagement sessions have continued to be run by GoSafe, Welsh Fire and Rescue Services, and other partners, to help drivers adjust the change. These sessions will continue throughout 2024 with dedicated teams working under GoSafe to deliver them under the name ‘Operation Ugain’.
