Rejected petition Abolish the 20mph speed limit in Wales that came into force 17th September 2023

Abolish the 20mph speed limit in Wales that came into force 17th September 2023.
I agree the 20mph in built up residential areas and cities but not a blanket ban.

More details

The new 20mph speed limit is already causing excessive and aggressive driving attitudes on the roads. Today I have been flashed at, regular use of a horn being sounded and over taken multiple times by following the new rules.
This will create more accidents and put excessive pressure onto police forces who already struggle to complete their duties.
