A petition calling for road safety improvements along the A487 between Cardigan and Aberystwyth has been handed to the National Assembly’s Petitions Committee at the Senedd.

The petition states:

“Following numerous incidents along the A487 Trunk Road particularly between Cardigan and Aberystwyth, I petition the Welsh Assembly to make improvements along this coastal road, including passing places at various locations, in order to alleviate the build-up of traffic behind slower moving vehicles.

“I'm of the opinion that having strategically located passing places would reduce driver frustration and risk taking when attempting to overtake.

“When this Fishguard to Holyhead Trunk road is closed due to an incident, the alternative diversion route is along minor roads which can be a nightmare especially when Heavy Goods Vehicles, buses and coaches meet each other in opposite directions.”

The petition was will be received by members of the Petitions Committee.
