Improvements to the A40 in Llanddewi Velfrey
Petition
Wording
Due to the increasing levels of traffic, especially
heavy goods vehicles, on the A40 and due to the inadequate
provision of safe pavements and pedestrian crossings acknowledged
by the Trunk Road Agency through research on behalf of the Welsh
Assembly Government we, the undersigned, hereby demand the Welsh
Assembly Government, as a matter of urgency, improve road safety in
the village of Llanddewi Velfrey, Narberth, Pembrokeshire through
implementation of the following measures:
- Improve the inadequate pavement along the southern
side of the A40 between Llandaff Row and the far eastern end of the
village to ensure that it meets current safety standards, that it
is sufficiently wide for the safe use of pedestrians, pushchairs
and wheel chair users taking into consideration the proximity of
heavy goods traffic passing by at speeds often in excess of the
current limit of 40mph.
- Install speed cameras at the eastern and western ends
of the village.
- Utilise the existing electrical installation for road
crossing signs to provide flashing warning lights at times when
children will be crossing the A40 to catch their school
bus.
- Install traffic calming measures at each end of the
village and at road junctions to emphasise the need to reduce
speed.
- Reduce the speed limit to 30mph.
