Cardiff 20mph speed limit

Re: Cardiff 20mph speed limit

Where is Caerphilly Road a duel carriageway ?

Up by the Birchgrove pub and past the Maes Y Coed Road turnoff toward Llanishen. Probably not an official dual carriageway, but two lanes on each side of the road for a short stretch. That shouldn’t be 20mph.

Ah, you mean the bit for turning right, where arseholes cut you up, by trying to get back into the inside lane to go straight on !

In fairness, i don't think that the right hand turn on to Heathwood rd is dedicated.

There used to be arrows there, haven’t looked for ages, as I think of other road users

If there's anywhere along Caerphilly Rd that it should be 20 it's through Birchgrove where there are plenty of shops, side streets and a Primary school nearby. Someone was also killed near the Maes y Coed Rd junction a year or 2 ago.

The worst bit is by the New Inn pub, the outside lane is dedicated for right turn towards Heath Hospital, people just sit there to get on the inside lane when they realise. The flyover as well, ****ing crazy system with cars crossing over just before the Wetherspoons, people who have never done it before must shit themselves, although in fairness, i've never seen an accident there.

Re: Cardiff 20mph speed limit

I've grown to love the 20mph .. it's very calming.

The only dilemma is my plug in hybrid only self charges itself after 21mph though .

Ive written to the First Minister pointing that out that 20mph is potentially using more fossil fuel ??

I'm down to 15mph on roundabouts as well ..

56mph cruise control on motorways .

What a wonderful life .

Re: Cardiff 20mph speed limit

Drove the entire 20mph limit at Radyr/Morganstown at about 20mph. Spent more time looking at the speedo and the car right up my arse, than looking at the road.
Also some parts of dual carriageway on Caerphilly Rd are 20mph, which is totally nonsensical.

None of it makes sense, I didn't believe the people saying they would use the benefit of covid as a test to see what they could get away with, they stopped people from going out of the house, a maximum of five miles in cars, extended lockdowns in pub's, close important routes from one part of the City to another.

They got away with all of that easily so now there is no stopping them, they'll do what they like, just because they can, God knows where this will end.

Re: Cardiff 20mph speed limit

I really can't see the point of it. Has it reduced accidents? Probably not. Has it reduced pollution? Definitely not. Has it reduced congestion? Absolutely not. So what's it for, then? A complete and utter waste of time and money.

Re: Cardiff 20mph speed limit

Maes-y-Coed Rd traffic is now backed up all the way to Ton-Yr-Ywen Primary school yet there was never an issue before. Its now one lane each way plus two deserted bike lanes. You could say 20mph works there, that's because everything is at a feckin' standstill.

It was only ever 1 lane each way until the filters at the lights

The installation of a cycle lane close to the Caerphilly Road junction means the the right or left turn filters have been lost. There is only one lane, so it is very easy for a long queue of traffic to get stuck behind a single car, waiting to turn right. It's very poor planning, on what is a very busy junction.

Re: Cardiff 20mph speed limit

The council have opened a consultation period on the next stages of their 'intelligent' transport system.

Say what you like on the survey cos it'll get ignored anyway
