Case Study
Road Safety Improvements - Cypress Drive
Project Reference Road safety improvements - Cypress Drive South East Wales Highway Framework Background Following a number of road casualties along this section of highway (18 slight, 1 serious over a 3- year period), this scheme was developed to improve safety on the roads as part of the Welsh Government’s Local Road Safety Grant Initiative. In order to reduce the number of casualties along this section of highway, a scheme was designed to make it easier and safer for cyclists and pedestrians to cross the road, reduce traffic speeds in the vicinity and on the approach to the roundabout and slow the actual roundabout down to improve safety. Works The scheme included the provision of speed tables / ramps, speed limit changes and footway widening.
