THE roads in Conwy which are set to be exempt from the new 20mph limit have been revealed.

On September 17, most 30mph roads in Wales will be reduced to 20mph - making it the first nation to have a 20mph default speed limit.

The local authority is currently consulting over which roads should be exempt.
