If it had been in a collision with a tanker carrying vegetable oil, and a fire started, they could have had roasties and chips.

Would be great to go out on a deserted A55 and see if my car can go as fast as the manufacturer claims it will ... 169 mph !!!!

The A55 at rush hour as you've probably never seen it before
As Easter approaches the roads would normally be heaving but the non-essential travel ban has changed that

Motorists across North Wales are used to sitting in long lines of traffic for what can sometimes feel like hours during rush hour.

And with today being the day that most schools were due to break up for the Easter holidays you'd have expected the A55 to be chock-a-block with cars and caravans.

However, major routes around the region including the A55 and A494 are eerily quiet tonight as the UK remains in lockdown amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The normally jammed A55 had few vehicles travelling on it this afternoon and the long line of cars we're used to seeing build up heading west into North Wales was no where in sight.      more  https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/a55-rush-hour-youve-probably-18040860

Re: Roads in the area........... A470 in Glan Conwy.

WORK is to start on a new zebra crossing and shared-use path for pedestrians and cyclists on the A470 in Glan Conwy.  ref Pioneer

The work, which involves the pavement being widened to make a shared-use path from the railway station road to Pendraw’r Llan, will begin on Monday, June 15 and will take more than four weeks.

A spokesperson from Conwy County Borough Council said: "The Welsh Government, working with the North and Mid-Wales Trunk Road Agent and Conwy County Borough Council, has prioritised building a new zebra crossing on the A470 in Glan Conwy.

"These improvements will provide a safer, easier and more accessible route for pedestrians and cyclists from Glan Conwy village to the northbound bus stop and leisure facilities at Cae Ffwt."

Depending on the weather, work is expected to be completed by Friday, July 17.

There will be temporary traffic lights during off-peak hours.
Parking may also be restricted at times.
The northbound bus stop will be closed. Passengers are advised to use the temporary bus stop near Benarth Court.

A55 at Glan Conwy: Improvement work to begin
Work to make a busy intersection of the A55 safer for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers will begin on Wednesday.

The Welsh Government said improvement work to junction 19 at Glan Conwy would run until the end of September, depending on weather conditions.
Work has been brought forward because the coronavirus pandemic means traffic levels are almost half their normal level.

The project includes widening the junction, making safer crossings for pedestrians and cyclists, the installation of traffic lights and an upgrade from street lighting to an energy-efficient LED alternative.

The routes for cyclists and pedestrians will also link to the current path on the A470 to encourage walking and cycling in the area.

Transport and North Wales Minister Ken Skates said: "This is the first of our pinch-point schemes to go ahead and it will deliver a real difference to all forms of transport once completed."   ref BBC
