Have your say about new 20mph speed limit on the A5

 

From September 17 most 30mph speed limits in Wales are changing to 20mph. And Llangollen people can have they say about the move at two special information days next month. The Welsh Government is changing the default speed limit on restricted roads, where streetlights are placed no more than 200 yards apart, usually located in residential and built-up areas which people use frequently.  Not all restricted roads will change to 20mph. Local authorities and the two trunk road agents in Wales, have used Welsh Government guidance and worked with communities to decide which roads should remain at 30mph  - these are known as exceptions. Transport for Wales - together with Welsh Government - will be hosting public information events about the new 20mph speed limits & the exceptions on the A5 in Clwyd South, inviting the communities of Llangollen, Froncysyllte, Glyndyfrdwy, and Corwen to take part. A county council spokesperson said: "These events will give members of the public an opportunity to find out more about the changes relating to the A5, view maps, speak to representatives from the Trunk Road Agent, Welsh Government and ask any questions they might have." The meetings takes place at Llangollen Town Hall Chambers in Parade Street, LL20 8PW, on Wednesday July 12, between 2pm and 7pm, and Thursday July 13, between 9am and 1pm. The spokesperson added: "We are also arranging an online event for those who cannot attend the public information events. More information will be available on this shortly. "We are hoping to inform as many members of the public as we can about the 20mph information days, and with this in mind we kindly ask that you share the attached advert with your networks."
