Signage blown off at Mostyn Champneys Retail Park so avoid the area if going out.

Morfa Drive outside Aberconwy School flooded, no surprise there!

Aberconwy Park, Morfa closed due to very bad damage.

A5 at Llyn Ogwen is closed due to a landslide.

There is a high tide due today & a Super Snow Moon tonight, doom & gloom!

At times it's like driving on the wacky races, now this confirms what a lot of people have been saying for ages

It should have been a double flyover, with the A470 going above the A55, but that would have cost too much. Human lives are not as expensive.

The first picture is NOT the Black Cat roundabout, it is the junction of the A470 from Llandudno to the bigger A55 roundabout - where there have been numerous rear-end shunts as drivers are too busy looking to the right instead of the car in front, the car in front not moving when it could be expected to.  Not helped by cars in the wrong lane or indicating incorrectly.

Same with the Black Cat roundabout as in a lower picture, where the Black Cat filling station is.

There were various plans displayed a while ago to alter the layout of the roads - not sure when they said that the discussions would be finalised and comments reviewed - and the choice made.

It's a regular spot for minor shunts. It's the speed at which cars are heading towards the A55 eastwards slip road having come from down the valley or the junction. The car in front of you on the A470 starts to move, you look right and move forwards but the car in front has decided to stop as they decided they wouldn't make it. No excuse for it...it happened to me. A flyover wouldn't solve the problem ,maybe a solution is traffic lights at the junctions of the three joining roads but imagine the tail backs, it would be horrendous.
The best option is to pay more attention and not be in such a hurry.

ROADWORKS in a part of Llandudno are set to continue until the end of March.

Conwy County Borough Council say work carried out by contractors Alun Griffiths ltd, between Mostyn Broadway and Charlotte Road, is expected to come to an end on Friday, March 27 (weather permitting).

The Council says it has prioritised Mostyn Broadway to Charlotte Road as part of an “ongoing investment” to improve traffic network within Llandudno.  cont.  https://www.northwalespioneer.co.uk/news/18268648.llandudno-work-mostyn-broadway-charlotte-road-set-continue-end-march/

Also pot hole inspection......

Re: Roads in the area...........Marine Drive repairs
« Reply #1120 on: March 10, 2020, 04:53:02 pm »
Part of a road will be closed until Easter as work gets underway to repair damage caused by a landslip.

Storms caused rock falls on the West Shore end of Marine Drive in Llandudno last month rendering the area unsafe.

Work has now started to repair the popular scenic route and nearby footpath.

Access for residents of Marine Drive and customers of the Rest & Be Thankful Café and the lighthouse is via a two way system with traffic lights from the pier end, but there is no through route around the Great Orme.

Conwy county councillor, Greg Robbins, cabinet member for environment and transportation said: “We’ve prioritised these repairs to get Marine Drive fully open by Easter.
“We understand it’s inconvenient for residents to have the road closed, but it is absolutely necessary to keep the public safe.”   ref DP

You wouldn't expect this if you were driving through a tunnel on the A55

Police attending the scene said that the vehicle could not be traced!       &shake&         Surely they followed it up on the many cameras that are on the A55

The A470 between Glan Conwy and the garden centre before the bottom of Bodnant Hill is being resurfaced and the delays are quite long . Will take two weeks to complete so avoid if possible!

 Police warn people to be wary of anyone selling cheap mashed Potatoes     :roll:
