Cardiff North has become the latest and the largest area to see the introduction of 20 miles per hour speed limits on all its residential roads today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight areas across Wales are trialling the slower speeds, ahead of nationwide rollout next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Welsh Government plans to make it law for all residential streets to be 20mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
