Hundreds of people turned up to ‘go slow’ protests across Wales today against the 20mph speed limits.

A series of 'go-slow' protests took place today, the events were part of what campaigners were calling 'National Convoy Day' and are linked to opposition to London's Ultra Low Emission Zone.

Locally around 100 campaigners met at Magor Services at 10am today before setting off at 10:30am along the M4 towards Cardiff with a police escort. The protest reached its conclusion at The Red Dragon Centre down Cardiff Bay where some protestors gathered outside the Senedd.

Even the anti-speed-limits Welsh media were reporting that hardly anyone turned up and the protests didn't have any real effect on the roads.
