Huge numbers of people are concerned about the impact of the Welsh Government's decision to cut 30mph speed limits to 20mph, according to a Mid Wales politician.
The default speed limit will change from 30 to 20 on Welsh roads.
Wales' First Minister, Mark Drakeford, said the speed limit reduction will protect lives and save the NHS in Wales £92 million a year. The survey also showed that 83 per cent of respondents felt that businesses and visitors would be affected, and that 88 per cent felt that each location for reductions should be assessed to decide the most appropriate restriction.
He added:"While in some areas a reduced speed limit is appropriate, and in many cases I have requested a change to 20mph myself, the blanket 20mph introduction is going to have a serious negative impact, particularly in rural areas.
