Can it be possible that the government of a country makes some rules for the interests of tourists and tourists, being angry with them, swear to never go there again? If you think no, let us tell you that this has happened. Yes, tourists are so upset with the strange rules made in Wales, UK, that they are fed up and have sworn that they will never return here again.
In Wales the speed limit for vehicles is 20 miles per hour. That means the speed has been reduced to only 32 kilometers per hour. This speed limit rule came into effect on 17 September 2023. Wales was the first country to do so, reducing the speed limit on all roads to 20 miles per hour. Still, in many places the speed limit remained at 30 miles per hour.
This unique rule was made after the results of research by Edinburgh Napier University and public health providers. It was estimated in the research that after the implementation of the new rule, there will be a 40 percent reduction in accidents. But despite good intentions, the response from the people was not very good.

People took to the streets demanding the removal of this law. The Conservatives even brought a no-confidence motion against the Climate Change Minister. The protests over the law ended within a few months, but some concerns still persist, as many people working in tourism say that people may not come back as tourists.
Many people have also expressed this displeasure on Wales Online. People say that they are facing a lot of trouble due to the new rule of slow speed. They are feeling quite stressed. Many people are saying in the comments that they will have trouble with this speed limit rule, so they will not come to Wales.
Surprisingly, the number of tourists coming to Wales in 2023 has increased by 4 percent as compared to 2022. The law came into effect in the last three months of the year, so these figures may not present the true picture, but it is also true that the majority of angry tourists are from England. But apprehensions still persist among many people.
