Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on what work has been undertaken to improve the safety of the Red Roses junction on the A477?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
Design has been completed for ARAF/SLOW markings and enhanced road signs with yellow backing boards and for a first in Wales, the use of large static bollards to highlight the junction position. The Road Safety Audit 1&2 is due to be completed for these designs.
A topographical survey has been completed for a potential police monitoring lay-by and work started on the design to see whether it is possible to safely accommodate a monitoring layby within our highway land boundary.
Funding is available for the design process and construction of these short-term measures this financial year 25/26 – in the case of the monitoring layby it will be conditional on not requiring third party land.
