Google has acknowledged the new speed limit changes in Wales and stated that their teams are aware of the updates. They are committed to providing the most accurate and up-to-date information for drivers. However, some GPS firms have mentioned that map updates may not be immediate when Wales introduces the 20mph speed limit in residential areas. Welsh drivers have been advised not to rely solely on sat-navs to determine the speed limit and to instead follow road signs. The RAC also emphasized the importance of being aware of the new regulations and paying attention to road signage. The introduction of the new speed limit in Wales aims to reduce road collisions, noise, and pollution, as well as encourage walking and cycling. The Welsh government estimates that the cost of implementing the new speed limit will be outweighed by the reduced impact on the NHS and emergency services. Local councils can make exemptions to the default 20mph speed limit if they can provide strong evidence that higher speeds are safe and won’t endanger pedestrians and cyclists.
