20mph speed limits

Thank you for your responses to the 20mph speed limit review.

We are currently implementing a process to consider your requests proposing additional exceptions to the 20mph speed limit.

Requests will be considered and reviewed using the Welsh Government guidance and criteria. We anticipate this review to be completed by Spring 2025.

Following the review, any decisions made to change the speed limit on our roads will be undertaken by following the TRO (Traffic Regulation Order) process.

National speed limits apply to most of the roads in Denbighshire. Unless you see signs showing otherwise, the speed limits are:

  • 20mph in a street-lit area
  • 60mph on a single carriageway road without street-lighting
  • 70mph on a dual carriageway road without street-lighting

Different speed limits apply to certain types of vehicle, such as buses, heavy goods vehicles and cars towing caravans. Find out more about speed limits on GOV.UK (external website).

If you are concerned about speeding issues in your area, contact us and we will look into the matter. If we find that there is a speeding problem we’ll look at ways to reduce it.
