P-03-240 Road safety on 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:
1.
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.
2.
Install
speed cameras at the eastern and western ends of the village.
3.
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.
4.
Install
traffic calming measures at each end of the village and at road junctions to
emphasise the need to reduce speed.
5.
Reduce
the speed limit to 30mph.
