Deiseb a wrthodwyd Stop the 20mph limit in Wales

Nobody would object to a 20mph limit outside schools and on housing estates but to force this limit on all 30mph roads will cause havoc.

Rhagor o fanylion

The Welsh Government seems to be at war with the motorist. They want to force people to stop using their cars and use public transport of cycles. Speed limits are being dropped even on our motorways. The 20mph limit on all 30mph roads is a step too far. They are not talking about roads outside schools. It will be all 30mph roads. Many dual carriageways have 30mph limits. Including Fabian Way in Swansea and major routes around Cardiff.
Cars and lorries are not built to cruise at 20mph. You will never get out of 2nd or 3rd gear. Fuel economy will drop. Spark plugs will foul up and DPF filters on diesel cars will block up.
Speeding fines will go through the roof. Just try driving at 20mph on a dual carriageway.
Safety will actually get worse. People will be too busy concentrating on their speedometers to look where they are going.
It would be much better if the Welsh Government spent the £33 million on fixing some potholes or getting some extra doctors into A+E. It will save far more lives.

Pam gwrthodwyd y ddeiseb hon?

Mae deiseb yn bodoli eisoes ar y mater hwn. Ni allwn dderbyn deiseb newydd os oes un yn bodoli eisoes ar fater tebyg iawn, neu os yw’r Pwyllgor Deisebau wedi ystyried deiseb debyg yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf.

Cafodd deiseb debyg iawn ei hystyried gan y Pwyllgor yn gynharach eleni. Fodd bynnag, rwyf newydd gyhoeddi deiseb wahanol - "Cynnal pôl cyhoeddus ar leihau'r terfyn cyflymder rhagosodedig CYN iddo ddod i rym" - a allai fod o ddiddordeb.

Dim ond deisebau nad ydynt yn bodloni’r safonau ar gyfer deisebau y byddwn yn eu gwrthod

Mae deisebau a wrthodwyd yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn yr iaith y cawsant eu cyflwyno ynddi
