Is this for real!!?🤔
Motorway speed limits to be reduced to 50mph NEXT WEEK
A number of major roads will have 50mph speed limits introduced next Monday.
The Welsh Government is imposing the temporary limits, among other measures, in an attempt to reduce levels of nitrogen dioxide where emissions exceed the legal limits.
It is believed that nitrogen dioxide emissions are at their lowest when cars are travelling between 40 and 50mph.
It is estimated that poor air quality contributes to around 2,000 premature deaths annually in Wales.
Around 40,000 premature deaths are believed to occur in Britain every year due to poor air quality.
They can contribute to heart disease, strokes and lung conditions.
A total of five major roads will have the 50mph speed limit imposed on between 1.4km to 5.9km in length.
They are:
A494 at Deeside
A483 at Wrexham
M4 between Junctions 41 & 42 (Port Talbot)
M4 between junctions 25 & 26 (Newport)
A470 between Upper Boat & Pontypridd
Increased signage will also be introduced to promote smooth traffic flow and the measures are expected to improve air quality by 18 per cent.
