From 4 October motorists exceeding the 50mph speed limits on some of the most polluted roads in Wales could receive a letter or fine through their doors, the Welsh Government has warned.
The decision to introduce environmental speed limits to improve air quality levels in five locations across Wales in 2018 was the first of its kind in the UK.
The following five local roadworks alerts concerning Wales & West Utilities Ltd have been issued by one.network:

Youths seen clambering on the roof of Llangollen Pavilion was just part of a series of break-ins at the home of the international eisteddfod earlier this week, according to the company which runs the building.
Now Denbighshire Leisure Ltd says it is working closely with the police to catch those responsible who will be prosecuted, it warns.
The company says in a statement: "Groups of youths have been seen climbing onto the Llangollen Pavilion roof, as well as vandalising indoor and outdoor areas of the events venue.
"Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, who operate Llangollen Pavilion on behalf of Denbighshire County Council, is working with North Wales Police to catch those involved amid safety concerns and following the number of break-ins at the site this week.
"The company is calling on the local community to be vigilant and encourage youngsters to respect their local town.
"Incidents include a group of youths gaining access to the building, setting off the security alarms, vandalising bollards and lighting, and breaking areas of the tented arena. One group of teens has been filmed climbing on top of the pavilion."
Jamie Groves, Managing Director of Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, said: “This is incredibly dangerous and we would advise anyone to think twice before trying to gain access to roofs of any public building.
"This will result in prosecution and could result in serious injury. The emergency services are under enough pressure at the moment and this is mindless behaviour that will end in tragedy.
“We will not tolerate vandalism at any of our properties and we are working closely with North Wales Police to identify the individuals involved.
"The Llangollen Pavilion is an iconic events venue that brings thousands of people to the county every year. We have CCTV footage and this will be provided to the police to investigate further.
"Llangollen Pavilion is the home to the International Eisteddfod Music Festival that brings thousands of visitors to the town and county every year.
"Anyone with any information is encouraged to share this with North Wales Police."
Police say they are investigating recent anti-social behaviour at Llangollen Pavilion.
Through its neighbourhood alert network North Wales Police has this afternoon put out the following message in the name of Sergeant Richard Evans:
"We have been made aware of recent reports of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage around the Llangollen Pavilion involving youngsters.
"Parents of Llangollen - DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE UP TO?
"We will be continuing to patrol and investigate to identify those that might be involved. Anybody identified will be robustly dealt with as appropriate.
"The Pavilion is an iconic venue which the people of Llangollen should be proud of - please make sure that you are advising your children when they go out in the evening.
"Not only is the behaviour anti-social and criminal,
there have been reports of youths climbing on the roof which is incredibly
dangerous."
A picture of figures on the roof of the Pavilion appeared on Facebook earlier this week and have attracted a large number of comments.
* Jemma Stubbins won the title in Doncaster.
Jemma Stubbs from Llangollen has become the first Welsh woman to become Britain's Strongest Woman.
Just eight weeks after winning Wales title (u82kg), the mother of two travelled up to Doncaster Dome to compete against the best in the country in Britain’s Strongest Woman 2021.
Previous pec’ and shoulder tears meant Jemma didn’t have the best start to the competition.
Things kicked off with a strongman classic, the log clean and press.
Jemma said: “I knew I would not rank high in this event with the previous champion having an extremely impressive 120kg log record under her belt. But I did hope I could compensate later in the day."
She failed her third attempt at 80kg, leaving her with a 75kg successful lift and ending round one in just fifth place out of 11.
Thankfully Jemma’s competition went from strength to strength, placing second in the 210kg frame carry and going on to place first in round three by completing nine reptations with 190kg deadlift, despite ripping her hand open in round two.
Yoke carry was much the same story, finishing first and creeping her way up to top podium position.
Jemma finished the day placing second on her Atlas stone run.
Events coach Jason Jones from Spartan Atlas stones said: “Jemma has been a pleasure to coach over the last few months. Her grit determination and sheer power should carry her into the World stage with confidence."
When not training five days a week, Jemma can be found in her gym, Stubbs Fitness on George Street, Llangollen, training others.
She said: “I’m a huge advocate of empowering people to take control of their own health and fitness journey. It should be fun and something you enjoy rather than dread. I am living proof of what you can achieve if you work hard and don’t give up on your dreams.”
A crowdfunding effort will now begin to get Jemma to the World’s Strongest Women competition.
Stubbs Fitness gym offers a mix of 1:1 coaching, group coaching and fitness classes to help clients become the best version of themselves. An ethos they believe is rooted in fun and happiness rather than numbers and measurements.
