A live presentation, taking place this afternoon as part of Road Safety GB’s online cycling event, will look at how Wales is creating a ‘cycle-friendly’ nation through 20mph default speed limits and ‘safe and convenient’ infrastructure.
The presentation is being delivered by Natalie Grohmann (head of active travel policy) and Ian Bradfield, (principal policy lead for roads) at the Welsh Government.
It gets underway at 2pm today (23 June).
In February 2021, plans for a default 20mph speed limit on Welsh roads moved a step closer, after the Welsh Government announced trials will take place in eight pilot areas.
The trials will get underway this summer and come ahead of the planned national rollout for April 2023.
Registration for the session is free-of-charge and remains open until 1.30pm. It is anticipated Natalie and Ian will present for around 25 minutes, before inviting questions from attendees.
This session will be recorded and made available at a later date for anyone unable to attend on the day.

The three-week event, titled ‘More cycling, safer cyclists: how can we make it safer for more people to cycle, more often?’, will be aired free-to-all until 25 June.
