More than 10,500 requests have been received by Welsh councils from residents to reassess roads that saw their limit lowered when the policy was introduced in September last year .
The limit changed on about 35% of Welsh roads - about 22,000 miles ( 35,171 km ) in total - last year where lamp-posts are no more than 200 yards ( 183 m) apart.
Police point to a drop in road causalities and crashes to suggest policy is working.
Wales' largest police force says there have been at least 11 less deaths on the roads in their area.
Number of serious casualties or fatalities has dropped 23% since the default built-up area limit was reduced.
Wales' first 20mph zone was introduced in Tinsley in Sheffield in 1991 .
