New figures have revealed that a quarter of drivers committing 20mph speed offences have been caught on just two roads in Wales. The A4102 Swansea Road and the A5104 at Pontybodkin near Penyffordd in Flintshire have seen more than 15,000 offences over the past 10 months. Welsh roads safety body GoSafe has said slower speeds mean fewer people are “hurt or killed on our roads and it’s encouraging to see people driving slower in our communities”.
The section of the Swansea Road where the most speeding offences took place is among 20 being looked at by Merthyr Tydfil council and which could eventually be switched back to 30mph, subject to consultation.
Other hotspots include Gors Avenue in Townhill, Swansea (3,700 offences), while five other stretches of roads in Flintshire are in the top 10.
Local resident Alan Dyment has been caught twice by the camera on the A4102 and has complained about it. He believed the camera was first installed with a 30mph limit, after two fatal accidents a few years ago.
