They've reduced the speed limit on fabian way, yesterday they changed the signs. 50 down to 40 and the small 60 section down to 50. I think modern cars stop more quickly than when the limits were set and they are easier to control with power steering and ABS. With that in mind the limit should be set to 80 but it should be variable according to weather and traffic conditions. Then there shoud be more speed cameras and punishments should be harsher because we all know that whatever the speed limits, people will break them. | |

I avoid Fabian way as much as I can. It's a horrible stretch of road, and drivers can be easily caught out with all the varying limits.Worse road in Wales | | | |
70 mph on Motorways on 10:31 - Sep 2 with 1573 views | majorraglan | I think there is scope to increase the speed limit in some parts of the motorway network, I’d looked at the stretches where there aren’t any historic collision black spots and the places where there aren’t slip roads allowing access on an off the motorway. I’d also look at having at the feasibility of time driven speed limits, say increasing it after 1am and before 5am whenbthe roads are quieter. | | | |
70 mph on Motorways on 10:31 - Sep 2 with 1573 views | britferry | I would say increase it to 80 but at present, if you do 70, cars fly past you as it is, so I would leave it at 70. | |

70 mph on Motorways on 10:50 - Sep 2 with 1553 views | Whiterockin | Personally I think all motorways should have variable speed limits depending on conditions, traffic, time of day ect. As for Wales with the 50mph for pollution, just why, when the science says 60mph is better. We won't go there with the 20mph. | | | |

The variable limits have worked well in reducing the M6 congestion and reduced accidents. There is an argument on three lane carriageways of an 80mph limit broadly similar to France, though this is reduced to around 65 in wet weather. This is sensible. | | | |

Same as the stretch from Earlswood to Pt, the best road in Wales, no reason for it to be 50 | | | |

There must have been a lot of people visiting Swansea for the first time who got points on their licence before they even crossed the tawe , welcome to Swansea | | | |
70 mph on Motorways on 12:19 - Sep 2 with 1479 views | pencoedjack | It would be good if we could use common sense in Wales & revert to 70. Be good for business as well. I expect Drakeford to reduce it if Truss raises it. | | | |

We wonder why there's no.investment here. A 50 mph motorway and an irregular train service | | | |

70 mph on Motorways on 16:06 - Sep 2 with 1360 views | Sirjohnalot | Far bigger things she’ll have to contend with, probably more than any other incoming PM in decades. In reality Labour are probably content to be in opposition for the next 18 months. Wouldn’t be surprised if Truss only lasts around 15, and she’s kicked out for Johnson to return just before the election. | | | |
70 mph on Motorways on 17:17 - Sep 2 with 1320 views | Dr_Winston | 100 mph is too fast, 70mph too slow for modern vehicles. Meet in the middle at 85mph, with the facility to reduce the limits in poor conditions. | |

I as doing about 65 last week in the inside lane, Car and horse box shot past in 3rd lane doing about 75. | | | |
70 mph on Motorways on 20:21 - Sep 2 with 1215 views | lifelong | Scrapping it altogether would be a poor decision, with the volume of traffic on the Motorways these days, especially between the hours of 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm 70mph is fast enough. Maybe increasing it to 80mph between the hours of 10pm to 5am when traffic is light would be acceptable. | | | |
