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.
